PTs Between now and September LSAT

I'm in the middle of PTing for the September LSAT. My target goal is 175. I'm currently in the upper 150s-mid 160s in terms of PTing. I also work full-time, so it's harder to get my PTs in on most days. I'm going to explain my strategy now and ask for some tips/feedback:

Wake up before work, take 1-2 timed section tests. Try to review the sections during my lunch break at work, and after work through the end of the day. Do this most days during the week. Rest on Fridays. PT on Saturday morning, review it all day on Sunday.

I try to work out at least 30 mins a day -- this is for both health reasons as well as because I think working out really tends to keep your mind sharp. I don't go to the gym or anything, I usually either do a fitnessblender 30 min at home video or I go on a jog (usually the latter).

What happens is that I usually end up exhausted. Ramadan is also coming up, so I'm worried about becoming even more tired with the fasting component. I most likely will not be working out during Ramadan.

What do you guys think? What PTs should I focus on more? What resources should I tap into? Anything wrong with my method? What would you add/improve/take away? etc. I'm looking for any kind of feedback really. Is my target score feasible within that time? I'm aiming for T14 schools.

Hi sorry I'm jumping in late to this thread but I am studying for LSAT right now (just a little bit before pre-fajr). I came home from work today and had iftar then passed out at around 10 and woke up at 1am. I've been studying since. I think it's easier for me to study at this time because I am able to eat and drink coffee and hydrate when I need to and keep my blood sugar up and focus optimal. It also helps that theres little to no distractions during this time, so I am able to fly through my blind review/timed PTs. I'm not really sure what else to do this month in terms of studying.

I will say that between balancing a 40 hour work week, long commutes, working out, fasting, and studying I've been a little bit more than exhausted and sleeping in on weekends (which really helps to rejuvenate). But, everything is in balance. Tonight I skipped my jog and instead took a nap which I think did a lot more for my health than working out would have.

Taking salah breaks like someone mentioned above has been really instrumental for me to relax, and ease any anxieties I have about performance. Ibaadah is so important and I hate when I start slipping on it. I find that when I eat a good nutritious meal that I am able to keep going for long periods of time, even if the meal is low-cal. As long as there are good portions of vegetables and protein, i try to have a slice or two of bread for the carbs. A banana, another piece of fruit and lots and lots of water. I also have a 19 hour fasting period and it has been shockingly easy to go through this Ramadan. Not sure why. Alhamdulillah.

Ok, back to studying. But thanks for including me on this thread. Haven't found much on this site about Ramadan + fasting and havent gotten around to making my own thread on the topic. I know there are a lot of other people out there in the same situation as us so its nice that this is now publicly available.
