@"samantha.ashley92" said: @AshleighK thank you. I coincidentally had plans for a friend come visit me for a few days, so I wound up taking almost a week off. It's not how I planned my schedule to be a month before D-Day. I was trying to use t…

^ The bubble sheet is so crucial. When I first took the LSAT, during prep I totally underestimated using it. I just assumed since I'm so used to it, it'll be second nature. But during the real thing I was sooooo nervous and anxious I was answering q…

@"samantha.ashley92" said: Hey! So I have been dealing with the same thing. One of my best friends from high school died less than a week ago, and the anxiety/feelings around that have been keeping me up until 1-4am. Considering I'm testing in…

@OverRatedUnderAchiever said: It doesn't get better. Tell me about it. I've had this issue forever but it's been 10x worse with the LSAT on my mind

@LivingThatLSATdream said: If you are looking for tea selections... Rishi Tea Valerian Dream is my go to. You can get it at Wholefoods or Amazon. Adam's mention of 'Calm' made me remember a drink my grandma had every night, and I also used to …

@"aviated.wings" said: Depending on your religious preferences, prayer time before bedtime works for me! Deep breath and release! I used to say a prayer every night as a kid and as I grew up it just stopped. I'll try this out too

Following!!! I have a solid BR score but the timed score is awful. Have you tried confidence drills and a skipping strategy? I'm in the early works of figuring it out but I think at this point that's the best thing to try out. Are you also getting …

Congrats!!! So happy for you

Following this.. I can do LR near my target score for this section untimed and in BR but in timed conditions the anxiety is real. I did a confidence drill and I was shocked at how well I could do just by trusting my gut. I'm also working on a skippi…

@Gladiator_2017 said: I struggle with falling alseep when I feel anxious. I found that the way to address this was not by only improving my bed time routine, but also identifying the source of my anxiety. For me it was really rooted in a fear …

@"Adam Hawks" said: Have you subscribed to Calm? I use the muscle meditation 25 minute program that gets you focusing on your breath, letting go of the day, and tensing and relaxing your muscles. I found that it mostly works like a charm. S…

@AngusMcGillis said: Two things that have helped for me. Practice a routine to disengage each evening. I meditate for ten minutes, then read until I fall asleep (light reading, nothing serious). The goal is to separate your mind from t…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: I’m going with 1 PT per week as well, with BR, LG reps, and LR and RC timed sections, rotated daily. I’m focused mainly on timing right now, getting used to “letting go” of questions that are stumping me and moving on. …
-
2 a week for the next 3 weeks and the last week either 1 PT or just drilling to keep things light. Trying to push really hard to get to my target score! BR is there but my target score flops from timing issues in LR specifically

@theLSATdreamer said: my advise is Ambien pre bed time, Ritalin post bed time ... just kidding ( kinda, army vet here, so sleep is not a real thing ) but i think you need a break, do the book thing, sounds like a good idea i'm going to try …

@hawaiihi said: I often have the same problem. My advice: No electronics at least one hour before bed. Seriously, this makes a difference. Read before bed. I aim for 15-30 minutes. @LivingThatLSATdream is right in that Anna Karenina …

@btownsquee said: I had this exact problem a few weeks ago. Here are the things I've implemented that have helped: No caffeine after 2 pm. I take a hot shower every single day before bed. (gamechanger!) I started rereading my favo…

@LivingThatLSATdream said: I drink tea and read Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Usually, by the time my tea is finished and I've read maybe 10 pages, I'm falling asleep. I use a book reading light so I don't have to get up to turn off the light. If/w…

@MissChanandler said: I totally get what you mean about looking at a question during BR and being like how did I not get this. So frustrating! How long have you been forcing yourself to go to bed at 9? Do you still make yourself get up at 6? F…

@July2018Taker said: Just to make sure. VIEWSTAMP is from the PowerScore Reading Comp Bible. It stands for View= the different viewpoints in the structure, S=structure of the passage, T=tone of the passage, A=arguments in the passage, MP=main …

Untimed, using VIEWSTAMP after every passage in BR, and depending on how you learn really getting down the low-res summaries. Personally, I've tried recalling the low-res summaries by memory and by writing them out. For me, I learn when I write and …

@hawaiihi said: @AshleighK said: Love this. LR is my weakness and I've deployed almost all of the strategies you've listed. Progess is slow but happening. I was feeling discouraged and questioning if my strategies would be worth it…

@eRetaker said: The RC questions themselves have been getting tougher with more "most strongly supported" types of stems. The passages have been fairly consistent throughout all PTs but you'll find that PT 79 and 82, for example, have question…
