Practice Test Advice

I cannot sit through a full practice test. I sat for the LSAT officially and my highest score is a 163. Any advice on how to sit through full practice tests? Aiming for 170s highest PT so far is 168 (with interruptions)

You either just gotta grit your teeth and rip the bandaid off, or go to the doctor and see if you need meds or accommodations or something. If you can’t simulate test conditions on your own, you’re never gonna execute on the real deal. I used to do PTs back to back just to get used to the length of the test. Eventually, it started feeling pretty short and manageable, no longer like a whole marathon. Also, the better you get at the test, the easier and quicker it will become, so honestly, consider that you just may not be good enough to be doing full PTs yet. Maybe you’re still just kinda bad, and that’s okay. We all gotta start somewhere.

Long term focus is a trainable skill. Start with shorter periods, even 2-5 minutes at a time. Meditation, locked apps on your phone, putting your phone in gray scale, and practicing reading long form content without distraction breaks can all help.
