Hitting a wall

After studying 15-20 hours a week for the last three and a half months I feel like I am just going through the motions with tests/review and not getting much out of them. What is a good strategy to get back to it!

    Have you take any breaks? Or taken a break recently?

    I have not taken any breaks except a week long one when my dad passed, but that was not very relaxing. @"Matt Sorr"

    I would suggest taking a break for a bit and also really focusing in on one skill you'd like to improve. I find by improving my skills one at a time, I'm able to achieve better results.

    Just take the LSAT and see how you do.

    @lucasjamesziegler as @e_w115 stated, I’d recommend taking a break, if you have the time, and thinking as little about the lsat as possible during that break. Then, when you come back, perhaps focus on really drilling some LG or a different section you’d like to improve.

    @lucasjamesziegler,

    Are you seeing any improvement in your blind review scores? If not then you need to reassess what you're doing. E.g., if you're scoring low in blind review/untimed work then you might need to work on your fundamental skills. If you're improving in blind review/untimed work relative to your timed work then it could be a timing issue. You need to diagnose what the problem is here or else you're going to keep spinning your wheels.

    If you're feeling burn out, take a break. Make sure you're exercising. Take care of yourself. Best of luck and please accept my condolences for your loss. You got this.

    Thanks everyone! Seeing big gains on BR, and wrong answers are pretty obvious once I re-look at questions in BR. @"Chris Nguyen" i have a consult scheduled with y’all Saturday.
    Thanks @claremont BR last time was 160, time before that was 168 so the potential is there.
