taking a practice test 3 days before LSAT????????

Is it a bad idea to take a practice test tomorrow (3 days before my actual LSAT)? I feel like I have not taken enough practice tests and it would be good practice but I keep reading that it is a bad idea. For me, I still have trouble letting go of hard questions and moving on. I think taking one more practice test could help my timing... Or would it just hurt me? What do you think?

    In my opinion, I would take it. My LSAT is Sunday and I just took a preptest to tighten up loose ends. It could provide relevant last-minute insight into questions you get wrong, so you can remind yourself what you need to focus on for test day! Hope this helps :)

    Imo if it will help you calm nerves, take it. I'm scheduled for 10/10, took one last night, and don't regret it.

    As far as I can tell, the only risk is that a bad performance on your last ptest might shake your confidence. But in my case, I felt the benefit of calming my nerves a little bit outweighed that risk.

    Thank you for responding:) I am going to go ahead and take one tomorrow. Which prep test did you take as your last one?

    I took my last PT yesterday (I take it on 10/10) and I took PT91+ on lawhub. It was helpful for me to take my last one on lawhub to get familiar with that platform over 7sage.

    I just took one and well, didn't do as hot as I usually do, but I attribute this more to burnout than anything. If you are concerned about burnout before you take the real deal, I wouldn't. But if it will calm your nerves, go for it. You know what works for you.

    If you feel that taking the PT will help your confidence going into the test, maybe try it! I took my last PT today and take the test 10/12 and ended up getting my best PT score yet which eased some nerves. Good luck! :)

    I took a PT three days before my actual PT date, and it helped me practice my processes and strategies before the my real take. However, I did not grade the PT. My thought was if I did bad, I would freak myself out. If I did well, I might be too overconfident and arrogant. So I took to to practice process. You're not going to learn anything new 3 days out of the test that you didn't already know anyways, and the risk of freaking out I think is not worth reviewing at this point.

    Hope this helps!

    @helpmelol sorry, didn't see your reply until now! I took the last one on law hub. 91 I think?
