  I really stress going light on Pting. Maybe do one more Pt and don't grade it- just to get confidence up. Do easy sections or redo sections you did well on. The point of the pre-test week is to gain confidence- not learn new things on the LSAT.

  @ChaimtheGreat very true. Just a bit concerned since I dipped on my most recent test from 156-152, but I did unusually bad on RC. Thank you very much again, I appreciate your response

  One PT is more than enough. If you're doing it properly, doing BR, and analyzing each wrong question, and understanding your biggest weaknesses, then, unless you're PT scores are above 170 consistently, a PT should take you at least a week to complete.

  I honestly wouldn't think too hard about it, though. Whatever you're doing in the last week, probably won't have a significant impact on your score anyway.

  You're right, I have been rushing BR for these last 2 PT's since the exam is nearing, but I've slowed it down and seen the benefits.. Thank you!

  You and I are in the same boat with working and rough score goals. Honestly, if you are PTing consistently in that range, there are things that you can likely improve on by analyzing questions thoroughly in blind review. I took (2) PTs yesterday and have no intention on taking another test until game day. Today (Tuesday), tomorrow and Thursday will be purely dedicated to blind review and light drilling of games and maybe RC. Friday will be dedicated to fishing.

  Best of luck man... I've just been drilling questions and doing random questions/games from PT's 62-71. I think the other posts were right, I don't want to ruin my confidence.

  At this point it is about confidence. Please limit PTs and if you have to take them- don't grade them. I would suggest doing easy sections to stay sharp instead.
