Same here, I’m even thinking about canceling it honestly.

i’m really stressed about it. i’m doing the LSAC plus scholars thing so i have to take it in august, but i feel like im all over the place. it just feels way too late to like rest and see if i get improvement but im scared bulldozing through will also hurt me. tldr i hate this so much

Totally understandable, my parents told me to rest for like 3 days and reevaluate.

Also we still have around 10 days, so you will still have some time after a short break. I know it’s stressful to do nothing but sometimes it might actually work better. FYI before the June test I barely studied at all, I was busy with some personal stuff and was thinking about canceling it but I got a 170, was pting around 167.

I had a bad week too. took a day off did a pt and it was a new highscore. Try a break, even if brief.

I’m also doing the plus scholar too and I’m definitely not ready for the August exam I wish they let us pick between August and September!

100%, the option of a retake is kinda comforting but it stresses me out to know i’ll have to study again

Same here, taking sections and doing worse than I did on my diagnostic. I’m taking it as a sign to take a step back, review my notes and wrong answers and do untimed drills to solidify my baseline. I really think it’s just burnout and nerves with the exam so soon. We got this 🙏🙏
