Hello again,

I've completed the PowerScore course and am taking the LSAT for the third time (I'm yet to score in the 160s). I understand the concepts and score well on the homework, non-timed practice exam, and even some of the timed sections. However, every time I go to complete a practice test (and I've done many), I score in the mid/high 150s. I've even noticed my scores decreasing slowing on each of the Saturday mock-writes. When I do untimed, I typically only get around 2-3 questions wrong per section. When I review my answers from any test it is easy to see where I made the mistake. I feel like my biggest problem is choking when the clock is ticking. There is only a week left until the LSAT and it will be very difficult to switch it to later date. Any advice for this last week would be great (should I simply focus on going through all the lessons again and simply focus on each question type/game/and RC section?)

Thanks

Hi law90,

Thanks for your question. Test anxiety is a common problem for even the most experienced test-takers, and so we have developed a range of resources to help you overcome it (while also taking advantage of it, in a way). Check out the links below... you will find an incredibly helpful seminar on Test Mentality, as well as various approaches to test anxiety championed by our instructors and course developers.
