@ Thank you for taking the time to comment! Unfortunately, I am unable to take time off from work at this time. I had every intention of using my lunch breaks and 2 hours of study after work for 3 days a week and at least 5 hours on Saturdays and Sundays, but oftentimes it doesn’t go as I plan. Getting my head back in the game has been a challenge! I’ll be 32 years old soon and although I know there is no rush to go to law school, I still feel a rush because of my age.

@ I definitely burned out. I found the exam exciting at first. I enjoyed it alot! Until I became nauseated by it and anxiety kicked in! That’s how much work I did! I used any spare time I had to review my wrong answers and drill.

Motivation/Advice/Study Tips

Greetings everyone,

I am reaching out to see if anyone can offer some advice/motivation. I have been studying for the LSAT for a little over a year. I’ve taken the exam twice, both times scoring less than my potential. I am a paralegal and my boss accomodated me last year and allowed time off to study. It looks like I will need to continue to prep for another try at the exam. I am feeling totally unmotivated and tired. However, I do not want to give up. I am not going to ask for more accomodations at work since I feel they’ve done enough. I also would like to look for a new job but haven’t done so because of the law school process. I’m feeling quite stressed and unsure of how to tackle test prep moving forward. Can anyone offer some tips? :(

I am also in the same situation and it really does suck. I was scoring 10 points higher on practice tests and bombed the LSAT again. I’m 31 years old, a mother, and a full-time employee & I wasn’t sure I wanted to test again. I thought about giving up and just getting certified (currently a paralegal). But it isn’t what I want to do with my life. After much thought, I realized that I can’t give up. I’m going to age regardless, might as well keep trying! My daughter knows how hard I’ve been working for this, and if I give up, I feel I won’t set the right example for her. You can do this! We’ve come too far to just quit!

I am having a hard time deciding what to write about. I can write about my background: growing up with a father addicted to heroin, working at 15 years old; and what led me to here and now which includes me graduating from undergrad at 31 as a single parent working full time as a paralegal at a personal injury firm; or

If I should write about how my gluten allergy was undiagnosed for many years and inspired me to learn more about food policy and fueled my desire to go to law school even more.

I thought the LSAT was hard but writing about myself is just as hard! What should I do?
