Maybe drink earlier in the day? Don't people say that sleeping is very important for LSAT? The scientific stuff that says alcohol before bed actually makes you rest less well.
@ngir1293288 @grantnicar6 Thanks guys for your insights! I really appreciate them. I should clarify though i've been studying for the past year and two months ago my scores stopped improving. These past two weeks I've tried to implement a lot of changes to the way I study, though not much changed. I br'ed more carefully and revisited my technique books.
I still don't know. I'll probably take the test in june so no matter what I have a score that I like.
But you know, it's human nature to want the best. Best case scenario, I'd love to go to one of the tops. And I'll most likely have to study and take the test again to get into 175~. Should I take the June anyway? If (and very likely) I don't get a 175~ score, whatever I get will be lowering my future average and thereby my likelihood of getting in one of those schools.
Does anyone ever feel like focusing too much on techniques actually backfires? It's like when in my voice lessons my teacher repeatedly scolds me for thinking too much about techniques and therefore not actually singing. I bet it's similar with sports, as in most of the time you just got to hit the damn ball, instead of lowering your right wrist to the side of your hip, moving your right ankle in front of your left, and with the support of your glutes... you get the idea.
I am recently getting the sense that when you have prepared for the test for a long while, you just gotta let go with the techniques. You turn to them when you encounter some troubles, but most of the time all the prep you've done has enabled you to read and think pretty effectively. And when you try to technique your way through the tests, it's actually not as efficient.
But of course maybe it's just me. After all I overuse techniques in a hell lot other places besides LSAT.
But how do you know if you've reached the ceiling or you simply could use more practice? For the past 2 months I've been steadily hitting my target score I set when I began. But I also wonder maybe after a whole summer of studying I can get an even higher score; alternatively, the fact that I made little progress in the past two months could mean that I've hit a ceiling, that a summer wouldn't help much, and that I should just have a fun summer instead ;)
