i wanted to see if anybody had advice about overcoming test anxiety, especially for the lsat.

i'm feeling really defeated about taking it again because before my first official test, i was consistently PTing in the mid-160s. then on test day i ended up scoring about 10 points lower than my practice tests, and it completely shook my confidence and still is.

i'm planning to retake in september, but i can't seem to get past the fear of it happening again. if you've experienced a big score drop from your PT average or struggled with test anxiety, what actually helped you? whether it was a mindset shift, changes to your prep, or strategies for test day, i'd really appreciate any advice.
