I had to take a week off of the LSAT because of a work conference that kept me extremely busy.

I tried to return to it today with a PT.

The issue; I was incapable of doing it. LG that normally took me 5min took me 15. I would read easy LR stimulus and have to repeat it over and over and over, because I could not retain an ounce of information. I felt 0 confidence in any of my answer.

I normally score in the 167 range - if I had kept going I would have been lucky to break the 160's.

What's going on? It's kinda bothering me...

    It definitely sounds like burnout to me, like @jhaldy10325 said, inability to maintain interest is a big symptom. It could also just be that you need time to get back into your routine. The week off might have thrown you off a bit. This has certainly happened to me.

    Yeah I think I'm just exhausted. I'll just do some practice sets this weekend instead of a full PT. Along with some tutoring! haha
