Slipping :/
I just wanted to take a moment to share where I’m at and see if anyone has any thoughts or advice. I've been studying for the LSAT since last August, and I'm planning to take the official test in June. A few weeks ago, I hit a personal milestone and scored a 179 on a timed prep test. It felt surreal because I honestly never expected to see a number like that when I first started studying, and I was really proud of my progress.
That said, things have gone downhill lately. Since that high point, my practice tests and drills have been slipping quite a bit. I'm starting to make mistakes I thought I had moved past long ago, and it's been frustrating to see my performance dip, especially this close to the test date. I know fluctuations are normal, but it’s starting to feel like I’m moving backwards rather than improving.
I have 9 full PTs left and a few weeks to go, but I’m feeling a bit lost with how to make the most of this time. Every practice session lately feels like I’m either going in circles or getting worse, and it's hard not to feel discouraged.
I’m not expecting to replicate that 179 on test day, but I’d love to feel a bit more consistent and confident by June. Has anyone else gone through something similar, or have any suggestions for how to bounce back from a slump like this?
Thanks so much for reading! Hope we can all crush it

I am not scoring anywhere near where you are, but I think April 14 is a great time to take a week long break. You'll still have time to fully brush up before the test. TAKE THE BREAK!!! You NEED it!
And great work!!! This is incredible progress!
Hi, I am also not scoring anywhere near that but taking breaks help when we start slipping. I know it can feel discouraging to start struggling after such accomplishment. Taking a break to clear your head will help you get back more focused. Don't stress about it too much and celebrate the accomplishment.
It’s normal to feel like you’re slipping occasionally, especially with LSAT prep. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Consistency over time beats perfection. Maybe try shorter, focused sessions to regain confidence. You’ve got this—progress isn’t always linear, but persistence pays off. Keep pushing through, and stay positive!
