From our LSAT Blog: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-final-stretch-encouraging-quotes/
For this final installment of LSAT Final Stretch leading up to the June exam, we've asked some of our Mentors and Sages for any final words of encouragement for those of you taking the exam (or looking forward to future administrations).
Mentor Sam: "You got this!" "You're almost there!" "Last minute advice: Stay focused and do your best. You've come this far, and you're only a few steps away from the finish line.”
Mentor Nilesh, Georgetown University Law Center '18: “I know it can seem impossible... but never give up hope. Logic Games only clicked definitively for me in the last week after a year and a half of prep and even more so in the last 4 days...keep working...and do not give up!”
Mentor Josh: “The LSAT doesn't happen in a testing room on test day. It happens the months and years before test day. It happens during core curriculum as we slog through the information and slowly achieve mastery. It happens during drilling as we reinforce and solidify that mastery. It happens during PTs and JY videos and fool proofing games; and during the times when we inevitably get knocked down, when a bad PT shakes us, when we realize we have further to go than we thought; and it happens when we get back up and keep fighting. So what is test day? It is not the LSAT. You have already conquered the LSAT. Test day is simply the dropping of your score in the mail. Y'all got this.”
Mentor Alejandro: “Trust your instincts. Find serenity in the fact that you studied your hardest up until this point. Oh and don't be afraid to skip!”
Mentor Brittany: “Good luck on the test everyone!! We did all the hard work already!!! Let's go crush this thing!!!”
Sage Allison, Harvard Law School '19: “You've already put in so many hours on this test. In a real sense, the hard work is behind you. June 6th is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the LSAT, and regardless of your nerves, you are equipped. You can do this!”
Let me be the final person to say ... YOU GOT THIS

@allisongillsanford643 @ioana200 redundancy means it's true!
You guys have said everything that needed to be said. When I was training for the NYC marathon I read somewhere that getting to the finish line is not the hard part. The hard part is giving up a lot of other things in life to put in the time needed to get to the start line well prepared and healthy. The race is just a celebration of all that work and sacrifice.
I was also advised to not think about time goals too much, because that can cause you to do stupid things like trying to run too fast in the beginning or not stop for drinks. For the LSAT, just like for the marathon you need to stop fretting and just trust your training - a mile is still a mile and things that worked for PT's 1-77 will work for just the same for PT 78. This time though we're getting our finisher medals, and it's going to feel great!
Good luck everyone, we've got this!
Yesss! Add a -0 on PT76LG section today and I'm coming in hot tomorrow!
We've got this!
