There was a magical time a few weeks ago when I FINALLY got a 176 BR score and I thought I was finally starting to understand the test. My previous BR scores were capped at 165-168, timed 157-163 ish. I thought I would never break 170 and was so relieved when I finally cracked it with BR.
I'm taking the November test next weekend and I feel like I've been bombing each PT lately and running out of time of my best section (LG). I typically get 1-2 wrong on LG, and occasionally get 100% when I'm just doing a section drill. I'm definitely struggling with timing and panic-guessing when I feel as though I'm burning too much time on any one question.
Has anyone experienced wild fluctuations and have any tips on how to start getting stable scores?
I work full-time in BigLaw so there are days when I work OT (I literally just submitted my timesheet for 97 hours the the last 2 weeks), and so can only squeeze a section and some drills during the week. I would choose a PT for the week, take the sections individually each evening after work, BR/review the whole test on Friday, and then take a timed PT on Sat, review Sun.
I finally have time off this week leading up to the test -- what is the most high-impact thing I can do to improve and stop fluctuating so much?
I feel you! I work as a legal secretary in Biglaw, and sometimes submit my time for 89-95 hours! I got soo burnt out and fatigued the past couple months and fell off my rudimentary study schedule (tried to study at least 1-2 hours after work and all weekend). I also had some health issues during that time + family & friend obligations and it's been so hard to balance wellness and relationships on top of work and studying. I've also now started to feel overwhelmed with having to start thinking of applications and drafting my personal statement, reach out to former profs/employers, etc.
I'm trying to get back in to it and am registered to take the Nov test. My goal now is to do a section after work during the week, and perhaps a full test on the weekend.
I'm also trying to be active and lose weight (my desk job has seen me gain SO MUCH weight in the past couple of years and it has really taken a toll on my self-esteem and mental health)-- so I signed up for OrangeTheory too lol
So my plan is to go to OT before work MWF, do at least 1 section after work during the week, and a full practice test Saturday, blind review Sunday, and repeat. I'm setting my intentions publicly so that I hold myself accountable haha
WE GOT THIS! Once you figure out how to squeeze in an hour here and there and find a schedule that works best for you, I'm sure you'll get back to hitting your stride! I believe in all of you -- just a few more months of sacrifice and we will get through it!
