Nerves affecting timing on actual exam

Hi all,

I wrote my October LSAT and found that I was so nervous that finishing sections seemed to be much harder than when I did my own practice tests (I always finished with time to spare usually). Needless to say I scored my worst score yet - 149, whereas I was scoring high 150s in my practice tests. I am trying for a new tactic in December- finishing 20 of 25 questions say on the LR and RC so that I achieve higher accuracy as opposed to rushing through to finish but getting 16/17 right on a section. Does anyone do anything similar? Or have any other suggestions as to how I can improve? My goal is a 158-160. Thanks!

I was LITERALLY just saying that to a friend this morning that I have Stockholm syndrome with the LSAT. Everyone says to take the day off before but I am choosing to watch 7sage videos instead... I totally feel you! Thanks for everything J.Y. you've changed my whole perspective on the LSAT.

Focusing while writing

Hey guys,

I am noticing that during my practice tests this week as the test gets closer that I am losing focus my mind is wandering to thoughts such as "holy shit the test is in 4 days, I better score well on this practice" etc. Thoughts that throw me off my concentration. Is anyone else having this problem and any advice to regain focus?

Thanks everyone and good luck Saturday!

Charlotte
