I think part of you may also be psyching yourself out. Clearly you want to hit that mark so badly and surpass what you got last time...I can tell you from experience that the first time I took a full PT I got a 151 I think...I thought I did something spectacular because I could work with it...every drill I took consistently decreased...I was only getting a couple right out of 10-25 questions.... I took the LSAT the first time before I was ready. Primarily, just so that I knew what to expect. I scored a 147 which is SO far from where I wanted to be but I had barely put any effort into it because I was so discouraged. I had never cried so much in my life. This time, I decided I was going to get a little more serious and really try to master some of these. I will tell you that I am scheduled to take the LSAT in august and I haven't mastered anything but I am 100% more confident this time than I was last time. I think you should also refrain from comparing yourself to everyone else who is ahead of you. Their journey is not yours. I also think that while you feel that your significant others or your family just doesn't get it, you have to remember that this isn't about them and they don't have as much skin in the game as you do. Unfortunately, there are going to be so many more hurdles beyond just the LSAT when you get into law school. The stress will be monstrous and the commitment is huge. It might be worth it to have a very calm, level headed conversation with them to explain that you understand that it's frustrating for them to handle you while you're stressed but that this is important to you and that the next 3 years are going to be even harder. Set the expectation up front so that they understand that in the end it will be worth it but the journey to get there is likely to be a rough road. They love you and they will understand. After all, if it were easy, everyone would do it...Right?
@Dagny just don't not show up...apparently it gets reported as a no show.
