Endurance training back to back PTs

JurisDorktorate

Looking to build a little stamina come test day and so took two 3-section PT's back to back this week, 6 sections in total. Has anyone else tried taking more than 4 sections in the same day and seen any improvement in their score because of it? What is the most sections you have taken back to back before?

Honestly, as someone who is currently trying to build said stamina, I think doing x amount of sections back to back will reflect well on your score more indirectly, and in the longterm.

That is, I think when you increase the pt/sections load to more than you are used to, or try to go faster, you might get more Qs wrong because its new extra pressure that your mind is not yet adjusted to, but eventually your mind might adjust to the workload and the pressure, and so the number of wrongs you get will eventually decrease.

all of this is to say, I think increasing stamina is felt more than seen, and sometimes demands overlooking how many Qs you are getting wrong in the short-run (aka don't be discouraged), and hopefully it builds up and you can have both stamina and accuracy.

Yes, the goal is that there is overall less mental fatigue by the end of section 4.

Over the last week I did 4 full length preptests as i am taking the LSAT tomorrow. The first time I did it I was extremely exhausted but by the 4th I found myself to be calm and collected and able to push through exhaustion.
I would definitely recommend trying it just so your brain is adjusted to long term hard work before your exam. My Lawyer friend told me that people lose 5 points of their potential just from pressure and exhaustion on test day.
