This exact thing happened to me and I scored my PR on the actual test, don't panic!!!!

Heyy! August test taker here that was in a very similar boat. I was so freaked and burnt out leading up to the exam. The week before the test I took 2 PTs, one of which was my lowest score since my diagnostic (low 150s). I was so panicked it’s unreal.

After that test, I decided to call it quits till the LSAT as to not burnout further. Light review was the maximum. Day of the test I scored the highest I’d ever scored (about 8 pts above my average) because I was rested. There isn’t a lot you can cram in two weeks and retain. All it will do is stress you further. My advice is dwindle this week, then the days before your exam just rest and take care of yourself. Test day you will thank you!

You clearly have the knowledge!!! Don’t make it harder for your massive and amazing brain to perform well on the test by burning out more. You got this in the BAG!! 🎉

@AlexaN OMG THIS MADE MY DAY!!! You can absolutely do it!!!! I made most of my progress in the month before the test. You got this I believe in you twin!!!

@Isabella! Thank you!! I definitely changed a lot in the last month I was studying. I hope this makes sense and helps you.

I shifted from fundamentals, to a general model, then to semi targeted study. For me, I found my weaknesses via blind review then reading the explanations for the answers I picked and for the correct ones. After that, I went to the live classes on here for the areas I struggled with and did questions live with tutors. It gave me some skills I applied to my PTs. If I had a question that wasn’t covered/ didn’t have a session, I went to Kevin’s LSAT mailbox or asked the instructors for their emails to ask directly. The instructors are also a great way to help find your weaknesses if you send them your wrong answers and explanations. They're here to help you!

I think my biggest weakness so far (not sure if this applies to you, ignore me if it doesn't) was focus, anxiety, and overthinking two answers. I ended up applying a more relaxed study model after noticing my stress-induced patterns. Most of the time when I was listening to the live sessions, I would doodle or play a game to reduce excessive stress. It allowed me to retain the info better and I saw my answers improve. A lot of the test is mental! I think that’s why I had my lowest score right before taking the LSAT.

Overall, remember that even if the numbers don’t show it, you’re learning from this experience one way or another! You got this in the bag!! Happy to answer anything else or explain further if it doesn’t make sense lol. GO KICK LSAT BUTT!!!!

@afk Thank you!!!!!! 😁

@MileHighLSATPrep Thank you so much!!! 🥳

First off, one score is not indicative of your knowledge and abilities!!! A lot of people have lower scores on the actual exam because of the anxiety and conditions. There is a lot of time between now and November, meaning there is SO much room for improvement! Even studying a little bit every day would make a huge difference. Just take it a little at a time. You got this!!!!!!!! KEEP GOING!!!!! 🎉

(p.s. Don't take all the people posting their high scores to heart. People are more inclined to post publicly when they have a high score, whether or not they're happy with it. I've seen A LOT of people talk about how hard the test was. You're not alone, pinky promise.)

@blueorbit2400 thank you sm!! 😊

@nr thank you!! You got this 💪

@Snowman123 CONGRATS THATS HUGE!!!!

@pngnicole OMG GOOD LUCK!!!! Thanks for the reassurance, I'm trying to stay relaxed but man is it stressful. I hope the 165 is a testament to my ability and not a fluke. I'm definitely reviewing the tests and I'll try not to overthink as much as I can. WE got this 💪💪💪
