Hi everyone, I need your advice. I am going to take Feb LSAT. About a month ago, my scores on PTs were 158-162. However, I took 3 PTs in last 2 weeks and got about 150. I am getting lower scores on all sections. All of a sudden just before the Feb LSAT, getting lower score is very frustrating for me. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Might be worth pushing to June or later if you don't feel prepared. Never take the test if you feel you are not ready. If it's nerves, then no biggie, happens to us all. If it's fundamentals, then it may be worth reconsidering.
same question as ddak, also make sure you're not over doing it and tiring ur brain out, needs some time to rest just like any other muscle in the body. Also make sure you're BRing and carefully going over everything to make sure you know what you are doing and not just luckily getting scores right
This is a debatable hot topic these days, but people say the most recent PT's (70+) have gotten "harder" or less predictable than the PT's 52-60's. I would review 70/71/74 like crazy and take either 72/73 before Feb 7th and you can make a call whether to take it or postpone.
as above stated, 70+ are a little different, now that doesn't mean you can think "oh phew Im good then" bc ur only getting more recent (aka more like test day) Review those tests real good, anything you didn't get, go over again. The difficulty of LR is a little more spread out which can throw some people off timing wise and therefore mentally fatigue or cause you to rush thinking you're behind where you should. if you're taking Feb idk about a few rest days, maybe take a day off, or even just do some light untimed drilling. its pretty close to game day to take more than a day off so be careful with the amount you take off

It could also just be a case of nerves. Getting close to the test day might induce some anxiety/timing issues.
Did you do ok on BR of those PTs?
