Test Anxiety

I am taking the LSAT on Saturday. I felt like I had a breakthrough on my LR where I started to score around -3 to -5. My most recent PT ended with me getting -4 and -5 on my LR. That was basically a week ago and was my last PT before my real test. I wanted to just do some light work this week to not lose my growth, but the last two LR sections I have done (yesterday and today) have given me scores of -8 and -9. What happened?!! I am now sad thinking that I will not perform my best on test day. I don't know what to do.

RC help

I feel like I struggle with RC a lot. I am constantly running out of time on these sections. I want to skip around to the passages that seem easier, but every time I attempt to do this, I don't pick the correct ones and end up spending way too long on a harder one and having not enough time to do more simple ones.

I really don't know how to better improve my RC and I have the test in a week!

Timed Practice Help!

During my timed PT I am doing significantly worse than my BR. I know there is some controversy about the truth behind BR but I definitely find myself making simple mistakes when the pressure of time comes in. I don't know how to stop that. I feel like I have reached a plateau at my timed score as I keep scoring around there. I feel like something needs to click in me, but it is not and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

@SMRegalado how have you been making a WAJ? Has it been helping you? I am not sure how to best do it.

150s -> high 160s

I am taking the August LSAT and as I take PT I keep scoring around 155 under timed conditions. Then, once I blind review, I keep scoring around 167. My goal is a 170 or higher on this August test, but I would still be very happy with a 167 or 168 on my August one. This has been a consistent trend in the last 3 PT I have taken, and I am not sure what to do in between my PT to get more correct answers under timed conditions. I have been studying for many months, I have finished the core curriculum, but this keeps happening. What do I do???
