Hi everyone!
I've been studying recently for the September LSAT and I am so frustrated that I can't seem to get out of the mid-160s jail. I consistently score really well on individual sections (like -4 to -1 on LR and -5 to -2 on RC) but for some reason once it's a whole prep test I just can't keep that momentum up. Also, I took the June LSAT and got a 162 which I'm hoping to improve to around a 167+ this second go round. Anyone had a similar situation/ any stamina and consistency tips? Also I need to do a better job at bridging the BR gap but that seems to be a common concern.
Thanks!

I was in the same exact boat. I got a 161 on my June LSAT because I had to take it after a full day at work and couldn't focus for it.
I've found that taking full length practice tests on a Saturday mid morning after I've eaten, slept in, worked out, and showered has a massive difference. Taking care of yourself genuinely takes discipline but for me it's helped skyrocket my score and my last two PTs have been over 170.
The other comment said it too, but changing day to day habits like scrolling on social media, screens before bed, and really any short form content has been cut out for me. I've started reading books again and going on longer walks and working out more consistently instead.
Sounds like it's the cumulative exhaustion that's really hurting you, spending more time with full length tests and changing day to day habits that don't promote long term attention span may help.
I am in the exact same boat (even down to June score). I think that this next leap is all about believing in ourselves and our abilities. I really truly believe that I could teach someone else to a 170+ at this point, so I have to let myself be my own student too lol!
