I'm in a similar position. I just got a tutor and I believe she is helping, but what has been actually especially helpful for me is adding in the habit of meditation. I know it doesn't sound like it would be helpful, but my achilles heel on the test is anxiety, so learning to manage that has I believe put me in a better position for my upcoming test. Sounds like it might help you too, based on what you said about freezing up.

I think where my tutor helps most is with providing some structure to my studying and helping me feel more confident about my answers and not second guess them, so yeah I would recommend it. Plus a higher LSAT can end up offsetting the cost of a tutor in increased scholarships, etc

Started off with twice a week but now it's once a week! I would do it more but it's expensive lol

Thanks for your reply! I have actually started meditation! And it seems to have a positive impact... It's great to know someone else is working through a similar issue. :) As a follow up to your other point—How often are you meeting with your tutor?
