Still freaking out a tad... This IS my second time. I refused to quit and waited two years to do it again. Now I'm ready to give it a shot. Last time I prepped myself with no class or help. This time I used this course. Hopefully I don't mentally freeze tomorrow. Thanks for everything none the less. =) And good luck to EVERYONE taking it on Saturday with me. We are in for a long morning but regardless of how you THINK you did, go out Saturday night and celebrate the fact that you finished! You had the balls to actually take the test and that alone is A LOT! So you deserve it! Have a beer or two and breathe. Then, after that night, you can freak out for three weeks while waiting for your score. Lol cuz we will ALL be in the same boat! =P none the less kick butt everyone!!

Yea. I'm not guaranteeing that high of a jump but a jump up in a score is good regardless. And honestly, yea. I think the break helped. I felt much more relaxed taking the practice tests and mentally recharged per say... I've heard the opposite in regards to doing any LSAT right before the test. Did you do anything the morning of the test? If so how do you feel it affected you? (referring to lsatisland) And yea. I'm totally taking a break before the test, tomorrow. =/ Still scared that the test is a little over 24 hours away!!! =(

Taking a break is a GREAT idea!!! This happened to me and I was devastated. Everyone around me said I was over doing it! I would study literally everyday for 6-8 hours/day. They would tell me that our brain is also a muscle and like all muscles we workout, they need recovery time and rest. Being an athlete I understood their reasoning. So I took 48 hours off and rested my brain. Did nothing intellectually stimulating. Caught up on my Netflix and just breathed for that time and did things that made me laugh sincerely and smile! And guess what?! I hate them cuz they were right! It worked!! I scored 10 points higher in the first test I took after my rest!!! So now I've adopted that. So this week I'm taking a practice test Thursday and took one on Tuesday. Two tests. And on Friday, I refuse to do anything LSAT. Instead I'm going to do things for fun like watch my little brother soccer game and spend time with family. That way mentally I am relaxed come Saturday. My scores deviate only an average of 3 points from the jump score. Although I am not happy with it, I need to remember that I am my toughest critic. So don't worry... If you are doubting your break with worry about whether or not it's a good idea then you really aren't resting your mind. So STOP WORRYING and enjoy the freedom while you can. All that time will be gone when you start law school so make the most of that free time now! =) Best I got for ya!! =) Good luck Saturday! You'll do great!!!
