Score drop before June date-ideas?

[christaylor1427]

I'm taking the June test, and I had been testing in the 170-172 range pretty consistently for a few weeks, until this week I dropped down to 168. I wouldn't normally be worried at all, except that it has happened now on two successive practice tests in a row, and I haven't been able to climb back up past 170. I was really expecting to continue improving these weeks as I haven't slacked on studying and I've been continually improving since mid-April. Any ideas?

Hi christaylor,
Thanks for the post! While I certainly understand how frustrating that is, you might find some comfort in knowing that this can be a common occurrence! There can be a variety of factors that may cause a score drop such as burnout, or the LSAT Casino, for example.
