I have this big worry that I peaked and I am not getting better but worse. Looking at my analytics shows this and I don't know how to get out of this slump before Feb 10! Any tips?

    If it makes you feel any better I have definitely plateaued - my score has stayed consistent for the last1.5 months in spite of additional studying. It happens but I don't have specific tips for you. Have you gotten significantly worse?

    How much worse? And over how many tests? Could it just be a bad day or two?

    Burnout could cause a slump. If it is burnout, you need to take a short break before the test.

    If you are trying something new out, that could result in a slump. I'd probably ditch the thing and see if it helps given how close we are to the test. You could try it again on a retake.

    If you just are feeling the pressure more with the test upcoming that could cause a slump. Meditation could help with this.

    Along those lines, distractions in your personal life or worsening sleep or exercise habits might create small slumps. Resolving the problem could help.

    However, I don't think there is such a thing as peaking on the LSAT. Overall, your score should basically go up, flatline in a plateau, and then go up again after you experience a break through. Then it settles in at a new plateau and the process repeats. It shouldn't really ever go down permanently like it can go up permanently.
