Guys, how do you get your mind clear for the pre-test? I am going through a hard time right now, and I just have lots of annoying and bad thoughts at the back of my mind constantly, and I just can't seem to ever get them out of my mind, especially during a preptest. I think it greatly impairs my ability to perform to my full potential. Any tips you use?

    Hey there. I have a couple things I've used.

    The first is to sit with my feet on the ground and think about how it feels. The sensation of the ground supporting me, how snug my socks are, etc.

    Another (if your bad thoughts are test anxiety) is to think about the absolute worst case scenario. Depending where you are in your testing journey, this could be anywhere from retaking to having to just apply next cycle. In the grand scheme of your life, not a big deal.

    Finally, I have a folder of memes sent from my friends. This works on two levels: 1) it makes me giggle and 2) it reminds me that not only do I have people in my life who could not care less if I completely bomb the test, but I have an entire life that has nothing to do with the LSAT or law in general.

    I hope that helps, and good luck!
