  I just got my best PT score after leaving the hospital Thursday. Maybe I need to get hit by a car during test week, too. Lol.

  In all seriousness, I’ve done mostly everything I can do within my control to succeed while balancing everything else in my life. I feel good. If you’ve done the same, you should feel good, too. Don’t let what you can’t control ruin your mindset. You can do it; believe that.

  Good luck! I took a week off work prior to the LSAT date to chill out and relax. I've been hitting my goal score on the last 5-6 PTs so I haven't been doing much other than 1-2 PTs a week.

  I'm thinking of scheduling the LSAT Written in that week off so I don't have to think about it come LSAT time.

  I am on such an uphill and downhill swing. My Sections I do consistently 6-7 points better on than my PT's (PT'S avg is 155,while if you combine my sections my average is 162/163) a bit frustrating. Plus I feel like I always rush through PT's, any advice?

  I'm in the wind-down phase of this marathon; 13 days to go until I take the last of the Flex tests in June!

  This sounds like it may be a timing issue with all the sections combined. I experienced something similar about a month and a half ago. Have you tried going through a normal practice test (as you normally would) but without restraining yourself to 35 minutes? Really soaking in the material and going at a pace you feel comfortable while maintaining focus. I still keep an eye on the clock but really do this to make myself more comfortable in RC in particular. This eliminates the feeling of rushing through a PT- I felt the exact same way. I still do PT's where I don't strictly time and my score has seriously really improved in my timed ones. I don't think it's too late for you to employ this strategy. Also, maybe focus on getting LG to a -0; this also really boosted my score. I normally get -0/1, at most -3.

  And for reference my average is a 160. When I started PT's I would get 155-160 (sometimes 161 but usually like a 158). In the last month I've been getting around 163-166, even hitting 170 once.

  Thank's for this! I'll def start trying it out. Yeah when it comes to drilling I kill it (esp with LR and LG) where as I feel like a rush a bit through RC and LR on actual tests, LG for some reason I have a really good grasp on, and see it as a "relax" session as I enjoy doing the games.
