When to start taking practice tests?

[Strangelove]

I've been studying for a loooooong time with books (I used Kaplan and Powerscore), and have taken a few sample tests, but not many. I am taking the June LSAT...when should I start doing just practice tests? A few people I've asked say that I should spend the last two months doing tests, but that seems like a really long time to me...I was thinking of spending the last couple of weeks doing tests. Am I totally wrong? I also don't know if I could do nothing but take tests for two months I might go crazy. What have you guys done?

I spent the last three weeks before the test doing nothing but prep tests, and I thought it was more than enough. But I also took prep tests as I studied to gauge my progress.

i would make a study plan and stick to it: for instance, plan to take 2 tests every week for the next 7 weeks, making sure all of them are relatively recent (2004 on). what really matters is not the number of tests you do, but whether  you understand the mistakes you're making so you can address any underlying problems affecting your performance. spend a few hours going over every single practice test. if you've used Powerscore in the past, you probably have access to the LG and LR Bibles, so make sure to revisit them once you begin to notice any patterns in the mistakes you're making.

I would suggest that you complete one practice test per day for two weeks leading up to the LSAT.  Be sure to take the test for real, no artificial breaks.  Spend the second portion of the day going through the test to make sure you understand what you did wrong.

I would not advise taking anymore than one test per day as you run the risk of becoming mentally drained.
