Taking the LSAT....

Taking the LSAT....

in two weeks and I am starting to freak out alittle. I took a 5 week review course and have been studying for awhile, and I am doing well in the review, but I am afraid I am going to freeze the day of the test. Any suggestions?

Re: Taking the LSAT....

Hi!! First off, congrats on deciding to take the LSAT. I'm a 3L and love law school - though quite happy I'm almost finished. :) My biggest piece of advice is to relax. Freaking out will obviously not help you at all. Not that you needed me to tell you that. But if you are really worried about not doing well, then perhaps you should postpone the exam. Please, feel free to FM me with any questions. Definitely here for you....

Re: Taking the LSAT....

The best suggestion I can offer is to remember that if you are unhappy with your score you can take it again, so there really is no need to stress over it. You are obviously prepared (unlike me, who took it without a review course, and I managed to get into a good school, graduate, and pass the bar exam - also without a review course) so any worrying you are doing is stress for nothing. If you start to feel panicky during the test, put your pen down, close your eyes, count to ten, take three deep breaths, then open your eyes and go back to it.

Take deep breaths.

Honestly, it sounds like you have really prepared for the test, so you should do fine. Just take your time and read each question carefully.

Funny story...when I took the test, a guy came in, sat down and started taking the test. About 10 minutes into the first part, he gets up and hands the test back in. I overheard him tell the proctor that he thought that the test would include law questions--he was totally thrown by the format. I guess he couldn't be bothered to investigate what the test was really about.

Just relax and get plenty of rest before the test. Good luck.
