Does anyone have any recommendations of what to study/ practice the week that I'm taking the LSAT. For the prior two weeks, I already have full lengths PT's planned twice a week, so I'm wondering if another PT is the method or if that will cause burn out/ not increase my score. Should I focus on questions by priority or stick to just timed sections to improve my time accuracy?

The full length prep tests are only an indication of where you currently are and don’t do much in terms of score improvement—2 a week also causes burn out. Drills and sections are your best bet for improving your weaknesses before test day. Start with untimed drills for accuracy then work your way up to timed drills only when you are —let’s say 90% accurate—then move to timed drills. Good luck!
Hey,

I usually tell students not to take a full-length practice test in the week before their exam. Taking one can actually make you feel more anxious or burned out, even if you get a good score. Sometimes, seeing your score right before the test makes you feel like you have to do even better, which just adds more pressure.
Instead, try focusing on the types of questions or topics you find hardest. You can do a few practice questions on the morning of the test to get your brain going. You’ve already worked hard, and doing more full tests now won’t help. If there are certain question types you often miss or feel nervous about, like science passages, practice just those to build your confidence and find a good approach. The main thing is to feel comfortable and ready, not stressed. I hope this helps!
Best,
Asma
