I've studied for the LSAT for the past 8 months and have written the LSAT before so it won't be my first (or even second) sitting. I've been writing a PT most, if not every, weekend for as long as I remember. I'm scoring in a range on my timed PTs that if I were to get the average of those scores on test day I could close this chapter of my life and be happy (again, if I score closer to my BR scores I'll be even happier!).
Despite all this and feeling confident I have some nerves that are starting to build as we inch closer to the exam. I find that meditation (love that 24 minute one on the site) is helping a lot but still sometimes late at night my mind begins to wander. Anyone else feeling the same?
Maybe when that happens I should go for a midnight jog.

In addition to taking PTs and thorough, thorough BR... honestly, I think the best thing I'm doing is rest and breaks from the LSAT. I just forget about it for periods of times, and I come back to it and I feel refreshed and confident.
I do meditate, which helps my concentration. And I've been running about 5 miles a few times a week, and this helps tremendously!! It knocks me out so that the nerves don't mess up my sleep. I have never been a runner, so the LSAT has motivated me to do so many things!!
Also, I've been training myself to turn my nerves into excitement. I get really excited to solve all of the questions on the test and read those SUPER INTERESTING RC passages.
Got a lot of these ideas from http://7sage.com/five-strategies-for-combating-lsat-anxiety/
You can do this!!
