Thanks for the post, and great question! Burnout is common, especially if you've been studying for some time. Breaks from the LSAT are definitely beneficial, which we write about here: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid-24 ... our-score/.
There's no magic time period for how long you should take a break. The good news is that LSAT is a skill-based test, so you're not going to forget the skills you have learned as quickly as you would a knowledge/memorization-based test. Dave and Jon discuss this at about the 1:03-mark here: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/podcas ... ust-avoid/.

I’ve been preparing for the LSAT for a while, and lately I’ve been feeling burned out and losing motivation. Has anyone else gone through this? What helped you stay focused and push through?
