I've been tracking and reviewing my missed questions regularly. Is it worth doing the same for questions I circled (but ultimately got right)? Or do y'all have other strategies you recommend for further cementing that correct reasoning?
I scored some of my all-time highest PTs right after two weeks of backpacking Iceland with my best friend (and only studying 45 min - 1.5 hours each day). If you come back in a good head space, that can count for something. That being said, I agree that it's only worthwhile to go if you're truly passionate about it.
I love my Swatch! I've used it both times I've taken the LSAT. It's super quick and easy to re-set for each section.

also kudos to all who picked themselves up and kept going after rough sections! that might be the hardest part, in my opinion
It sounds like we had the same LG experience. I went over Game 3 in my head yesterday. Realized why I spent waaay too much time on it. I think for us it's a matter or learning not to panic when things don't go as planned. I think it's worth it to learn to overcome this because the LSAT won't be the last time we have to perform under pressure.
Maybe this will help.

Thanks for sharing this video! It was super helpful. I’d also recommend deep breathing/mindfulness exercises to anyone struggling with performance anxiety (10/10 would recommend the Headspace app). Deep breathing definitely helped me focus more on performing rather than worrying about outcomes for the first half of the test (and alleviated some day before/morning of jitters etc). I just got caught up in the test day adrenaline by section 4 and lost my cool.

@ i thought the last LG section was okay. the first 2 games were really easy, but the last two games -- I got stuck on a couple of questions. Lots of open ended questions and I had trouble making inferences/splitting GB's. Hbu? how'd you feel?
Finished the first two in under 10 minutes and completely froze dealing with what seemed like impossibly open ended questions. Clearly exposed a weakness of mine I hadn't fleshed out. super unfortunate because I really breezed through those first two.
This is exactly what happened to me. After breezing through the first two, I panicked when the third one gave me trouble and it was all downhill from there.
@ @ @ Thanks for the insight and taking the time to respond, y'all! :) I'll definitely up my time spent reviewing my near misses.
