A little about where I’m at:

• Rising senior at Duke

• Just finished a very intense semester, so I’m now transitioning into full-time LSAT prep

• Last full PT was a 159 (September 2025)

• Goal range is ideally 170+ long term, but I’m focused right now on building a strong, structured foundation and improving consistently

My current timeline:

• Two weeks of near full-time study starting now

• Then balancing prep alongside a major summer fellowship/internship schedule

• Planning to take the August test as my first official administration

I’m looking for someone who:

• wants consistent accountability,

• is serious about improvement,

• is willing to review mistakes/process together,

• and preferably is also studying heavily this summer for August or fall administrations.

Would especially love someone interested in structured study schedules and not just endlessly grinding PTs. Feel free to message me if you think we’d be a good fit!Looking for a serious summer study/accountability buddy for the August LSAT!

I attempted a PT today and had to stop halfway through because it genuinely felt like my brain stopped processing information correctly. I wasn’t panicking outwardly, but I suddenly couldn’t sustain focus, couldn’t fully comprehend passages, and for the first time ever, I couldn’t even finish all the LR questions in a section. I was reading words, but nothing felt like it was actually sticking cognitively.

For context, I’m coming off an extremely intense semester (finals, leadership transitions, travel, etc.), so I’m wondering if this is some combination of burnout/anxiety/cognitive overload, but it honestly scared me because I’m used to functioning at a very high academic level.

If anyone has experienced this during prep:

• How did you reset?

• Did you take time off or push through?

• How did you rebuild focus/stamina?

• Did it end up being temporary?

Would really appreciate any advice because right now I feel mentally fragmented and pretty overwhelmed.
