Rest made my score jump
So I just realized that the highest score I've ever gotten on a PT was directly after a weekend camping trip in which I did not think about the LSAT once.
Then this week I've prepped a solid 12+ hours and took 2 PT's and scored 3/5 points lower. There might be a correlation between completely forgetting about the LSAT for a few days and coming back with a fresh mind.
I think I'm approaching complete burn out.

This is widely reported by people here on 7sage. I've also experienced it.
I agree and disagree. I think that those jumps occur only after absorbing new knowledge and then allowing yourself to take a break and internalize it all. Maybe plan off days, similar to a work out routine!
What's your plan? Are you going to take more breaks? I am just coming back from a very long break and hope I see a bump in my score like you did
Yeah, breaks can def help
Awesome to hear! I remember the first time I went -0 on a LG section was after taking a weekend off from all prep.
This is definitely true to an extent. I took a week off and my brain was to sluggish and slow to properly PT. But a short refresher is def. Good.
Congrats! I hope it would happen to me too after having this awful cold...
I'd like to add...it was after extensive review and prep the week before. I've been drilling and prepping really hard for several months without more than a single day off every few weeks.
Experienced the same thing. If you look at my LSAT score graph, there are clear peaks after I take a few days off, and then subsequent valleys as I take back to back PrepTests, then another peak after a rest day.
Burnout is real.
Nice job! Sometimes your brain needs time to recover from all of the LSAT trauma
Yeah, very common. You can't see the forrest without getting out of the trees from time to time. And you can't perform your best without that broader perspective.
Agree. Took a week off because I was traveling constantly and didn't have enough time in the day to study. Got back and I was very sluggish.
