Hi Everyone,
I hope your LSAT studies are going well. I had three or four great tests in a row with time left over at the end of most sections. Now, I just feel tired all the time, have headaches, and always run out of time on each section no matter how fast I feel I am reading...I also have scores ten points below where I was at. Has anyone else been through this? Am I just burned out and need to step away? There's only a little more than a week before the test....HELP!
Thank you!

Work on reading comp! It is very much a section you want to be prepared for.
Here's something to consider:
What can you learn 48 hours before the test that you can actually retain/haven't covered already?
due to unforseen circumstances my Dec LSAT was postponed last year, which gave me an extra two weeks to study. i apparently studied so hard that after i heard there were two more weeks, i didn't study. at all. i had already resolved to retake, and i spent those two weeks catching up on sleep, movies, etc. i walked into that test with a ton more confidence than if i had taken it as planned and been super stressed out, and i had zero problem with nerves!
sometimes the best thing we can do to help our performance is relax. i don't suggest ignoring studying for the next week. however, a day off should be good for you. and don't guilt trip yourself either. you've worked very hard and deserve a break!
EDIT: you can always push the test date back to december if you're not scoring within your target range. (i probably should have pushed my LSAT date back - tbh though I'm glad i went through with it. thats up to you!).
