    Really depends on your state of mind. If you have any tinge of burnout, I think it would be counterproductive to just jump right back in. But if you're excited and motivated, perhaps there's no need for such a large break.

    I would definitely take an at least two week break. You've been prepping for June and you can't just roll into December. You'll burn out real fast. Take a break, celebrate, and get back at it in at least two weeks.

    I agree. I think at least a week of taking it easy might be the right call here. A lot of studies show we can be MORE productive and effective after a break.

    IF you absolutely feel like you're good to keep going I don't think you would even subconsciously be asking yourself this question. You know what I'm saying? At the very least celebrate like my man @JustDoIt said and take a long weekend.... :)

    @theLSATdreamer I agree with everyone here about taking a break. Even if it does not feel like it, taking the LSAT is mentally exhausting. I took a break after my first LSAT and came back much stronger for it, both mentally and in terms of score range. You are not going to forget how to do the LSAT in a couple weeks.

    Congrats on taking the test. Now, take a well-deserved rest. You earned it!

    I'm chuckling 'cause you remind me of myself. From talking with you , you're definitely the type to go hard or go home and I love it lol! That being said, I'll tell you what I tell myself every day --- SELF CARE don't forget it. You can take a break, it's OK. The world will not end (I know it feels like it will) you will not suddenly forget everything you learned (I know it feels like you will) you will not end up a failure for mentally chillin for a moment (even though you think you will). Breaks are cool, burnouts are bad. Take it easy my friend.
