  Something with nuts for protein. Oat bread toast with almond butter. Plain animal crackers. Steer clear of salty things during the test breaks you'll get thirstier. An apple with yogurt. Or grapes. Granola. Just some thoughts.

  I used workout regularly but for some reason I stopped exercising as much, eating crappy food and just focused on lsat for about 3 months. I started losing focus and I'd feel frustrated, and anxious. Im pretty sure it was burnout.
  So I cut out all my fav foods like cake and icecream, and pizza. I started eating healthier again. Rolled oats/plain greek yogurt with banana, cranberries/blueberries/anyberry, vanilla extract, granola in the morning. Bulk cooking chicken and veggies and prepping my lunch for work. Eating more fruit, and zero processed food, drinking more water/milk, sleeping better.
  Then at work I started doing chair exercises and pushups, and slowly crawled out of my lsat hole and back to the gym. Then I started going 3-5 times a week, two weeks ago and took 4 days off anything lsat. Last week I did pretty awesome on my drills, and I feel great. Increased focus, energy and accuracy.
  At this point I feel like I have the skills and a strong understanding of the test, but keeping my mind and body clear and healthy is a big part of getting that score too.

  Just make sure you slightly dehydrate yourself on test day. Be conservative with liquids intake and have a cutoff, otherwise you'll have to pee before the break, especially if you've been uping your water intake that much (your body will get used to it and crave that level). Way to be healthy, but watch it on game day...

  I started training for a fitness competition about 3 weeks before LSAT in June and I noticed an extreme reduction in stress as well as an increase in energy. I workout 4-5 days a week and track my macronutrients. Basically, I try to follow a super protein-ified "clean eating" plan. Pissed I wasn't doing this all along, tbh.
  
  I drink about 100 oz of water a day. Idk how that translates to gallons tho.

  that's 28 ounces shy of a whole gallon...NICE. How do you manage to drink 100 oz in a day?
