I'd go with option one, speaking from personal experience. When I started my new full-time job, I got really overwhelmed with all I had to do.
I’ve put away the books and been doing things I enjoy! Got a bunch of materials for my next cosplay yesterday, spending time with my cat, organizing my room to calm me down, exercising.
Do a couple rounds of box breathing to ground yourself, it’s worth the time spent
During your break if you can find somewhere private and start doing squats or something, it legit wakes me up on my breaks (I also have 1.5 time)
DM me, not a tutor but applying to Canadian law schools and some need statements, having trouble deciding what to do them about!
Also, if you have or can get a netti pot to help clear your nose, that would be helpful! You could do it right before the exam, the relief lasts for a bit, it’s especially helpful when sick and you just can’t breathe through your nose.
You bet! If you have protein powder you could add a little (don’t make cement), and a piece of fruit, along with a big glass of water and that sounds like a fantastic breakfast to me! I’m a big overnight oats fan myself, so easy and nutritious.
Do everything you can to remedy it, medicine, steaming, sleep as much as you can, and hydrate like CRAZY! I know water can taste different and weird when sick, but think of the greater good. Have some tea, too!
My dearest October test takers,
I have come to share some pre-test tips to maximize performance for the LSAT. My credentials: I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology.
Sleep is the most effective method you can utilize. Your brain NEEDS sleep to make new connections and store information. Taking the LSAT while tired is a very, very bad idea. Start sleeping well NOW, so if you don't sleep the best the night before, you still have some sleep banked.
Do NOT cram, try to learn new information, take another prep test, or try out new strategies on test day. We want to keep things as consistent as possible. Cramming is only going to fatigue your brain. You know how to answer these questions, now you want to focus on making sure you aren't burnt out or sick of the LSAT on test day.
You need to hydrate! Even being slightly dehydrated can impact your cognitive function. Drink lots of water, you can even add in a cup of Gatorade every day until the test if you'd like. Alcohol is dehydrating, so I'd suggest not having any until after the test.
Exercise and fresh air. Get outside, get sunlight, and get some kind of movement. Whether it's a walk, an at-home workout, going to the gym, or whatever your preferred type of movement may be, now's the time to make sure you don't neglect it.
Nutrition. Your brain runs on glucose, so have pasta and fruit. Since some of you will be testing in two days from now, I implore everyone to do their absolute best to eat nutritious foods. You can still have something fun! Just make sure you're getting lots of plants, protein, fiber, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. This is especially important for your breakfast the day of the test, and your supper the night before the test. Also, have a good snack with you on test day. Protein bars, cliff bars, a piece of fruit, something that will give you proper energy.
Protect your mental state. Stay off social media, meditate, journal, spend quality time with people you love, cuddle an animal, anything to keep you at peace. These next few days are about staying calm and building confidence.
I wish you all the very best of luck, we are going to absolutely crush this test!
Honestly, I just ran a half marathon yesterday, and all my stress went towards that.
Do you know how to hide the clock while taking the test? You just have to click it and it’ll go away. Remain cognizant, I try to check it after each RC passage to make sure I’ve only used a quarter of my time. I’d recommend not taking another PT before the test, you need to save up on your mental energy!
Hi! When's your test, and when did you start studying? I have suggestions.
Shooting to run a marathon in June! I’ll be 21 next month so that’s all the major runs done by 21!
You need Bailey's method ASAP. She makes a chart and it's insanely helpful. Go watch one of the recorded classes and see, I promise you won't regret it!
Hi everyone,
You may know me as the woman who is running a half marathon six days before taking the LSAT. Well, I am here with the first update.
I GOT SECOND PLACE OUT OF WOMEN!!!
I truly did not expect this, there was an error where some of us were sent the wrong direction for about 800m (half a mile) and it really ate up time, my shoes gave me blisters (I’m in agony), and I had absolutely no glycogen left in my body by the end. But by the power of RAYE’s music, I finished that half marathon in what I believe to be 1:56:40, where my goal was sub-2. I am not sure how I placed when you add in the men, I do know that I was in the top ten and the second female finisher. I would also like to add in that I was unable to train for the last month due to an injury, so this all is a whirlwind of happiness. If you need me, I’ll be on my couch nursing my sore legs, blisters, and stomach pain.
So, I hit my goal time, completed the race, and placed very well. Very happy. LSAT, here I come!
This is a message for anyone who has an accommodation to be exempt from the experimental section on the LSAT. If you are taking a PT on LawHub in test mode, you cannot bypass a section. I am writing this while waiting for the 53 minute timer to run out on the experimental section of PT158 (section 3), which is the last PT I am taking before my real test on Friday. I wanted to come on and make this note so that you don't get stuck in the situation I am in. Instead, test in the non-exam mode, keep a timer nearby, and force yourself to use the entirety of your time, whether you finish early or not. Then, you can just skip the experimental section by submitting it without even doing it, or just filling in random answers.
Love,
A slightly frustrated October writer
Score release day is October 28th, I'm not sure when it closes but I'd take it as soon as possible after the exam, it should take a couple days for it to be approved. I'm going to do mine on the 14th since it's Thanksgiving right after the test.
What questions are you stuck on the most? For example, if it’s flaw, you don’t understand flaws enough. In this case, you’d want to go back and study the types of flaws, play Flaw Hunter, and watch the 7Sage YouTube video about flaws. Dig deep into what you’re getting wrong the most, and see improvements.
You may need to slow down my friend, PT’s are great but you also need time to learn how to answer your weak questions and review your wrong answers, as well as give your brain a break. You also don’t want to run out of PT’s.
