  Whether you take it or not is up to you. You scored a 174 on your last PT!!!! YOU GOT THIS!! You have to believe in yourself!! All of us believe in you!!!

  Do it.

  You may learn something that you didn't know before that could be helpful if something like it shows up next week.

  The way I've done the last couple PTs, including 80 which I did the other day, is that I'm doing them like a test under timed conditions, blind reviewing and checking over answers in the question bank, but not scoring it. I just think focusing on numbers isn't helpful at this point. Focus on what skills you still may need to sharpen instead

  Wait a minute....you're all calling me a Wimp!

  @TheMikey O_O ahhhh

  @"vanessa fisher" Yeah I think this is what I might do. I may even just break it down into just 4 timed sections and do it as such. I just want to maintain and keep sharp and not break myself into pieces.

  I find that I actually do better after failing another. It gets me to focus more on the next one. It's all a matter of perspective. I also like to fall into a gamblers fallacy, if I did bad on that one, my odds of doing better on the next one go up! Just don't think too hard about the implications going in the other direction =p

  Take it! I took it yesterday. It's not too bad, but there's an interesting logic game it wouldn't hurt to be exposed to!

  It is natural to feel afraid. Our brains register the LSAT as a threat, and hence we become susceptible to fearful thoughts. It's easier said than done, but don't be afraid. What's that PT gonna throw at you that you haven't seen this far in your prep? A question? Maybe two? Well, those should not significantly affect your score. I am absolutely convinced that under-performance, if one is not overtly stressed, occurs because of attention deficit. Just make sure you're not burned out and you'll be fine.

  Try taking 80 and then doing a retake of a test you've already done if you don't score as well as you hope. Definitely a good confidence booster.
