I was curious in finding out what approach you may all take before taking a PT? Such as do you do certain game set/practice problems before a PT? Do you read articles? Do you exercise? What is it that you do that gets your mind ready for a PT?
I thought about it as test day (even the day before... like okay tm is the LSAT) and try to do as much of what I would do/encounter on test day. if you have the time you can get a game, maybe a few questions in. Then just go and dive in. Make sure you try a few things out to see how your brain reacts best. Light prep right b4? a good amount of prep? Prep an hr b4 instead of right b4? going hard the night b4? easy/nothing night b4? all things you want to figure out so you can be better prepared for the actual test day
I know. But it's like I can't get rid of it until the actual test. So I was wondering what I could do to feel as if I'm about to take a PT that I enjoy. It's kind of hard for me to fake anything. Especially to myself because I know it's not true.
@emli1000 here are some test taker routines from a discussion that seems to be from long long ago in a galaxy far far away... http://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/5172 I would definitely take a look at these and see what works for you... and practice that at least once a week on Saturday... hopefully they help and D Day will be a just like a PT for you.
I think that as you begin to see improvement, your feelings might start to change. I know that I started to look forward to PTs once my scores crept up. Until then, try to think about how great it's going to feel when you reach your goal score. Look at every PT as an opportunity to get closer to that feeling!

I like to go for a run or hike with my trainer to keep me from thinking of lsat the whole time. I live in Calabasas, CA so there are a lot of beautiful hills around me which relaxes me. Find a nice spot to exercise. I also eat very healthy before I start the test so that I don't feel crappy which bad foods make you feel like.
Thanks everyone. I wish I lived by the beach =/ the closest beach is 4 hours away from where I live. I could def see myself going just about every day. Just laying out tanning and attempting to study lol
@emli1000 lol I feel ya! I wouldn't survive with lsat studying if I lived by the beach (it's 30 min away from me, wouldn't be a bad idea driving there lol). But find a nice spot by your place to exercise, go with a friend so you can talk about non-lsat related stuff during your exercise

you're better than the lsat. be better than the lsat.
Wake up at the same time, head to the gym, come home and eat, then I write it.
