Hi, I took the official LSAT twice and received a 162 in June and today i got my September score and it was another 162. I assumed the first score was low due to my anxiety since it was my first test and I was less prepared. However, I was frustrated to score a 162 again in September because I have been studying for 8 months and am consistently PT-ing in the high 170s with no score below 170.
Idk what I should do, I have taken PTs in similar testing conditions and even the same computer set up with others around. I am taking the October test next week and I've read many techniques to overcome test day anxiety. I realized that I don't feel as much pressure on practice tests, I pace myself well, and I trust my answers. On actual test day, I am very cautious (too cautious) that it slows me down and leads me to second guess my answer, get stuck and dwell on questions, and having to rush at the end.
My problem is giving weight to the real exam, well, because it is the real exam lol. How do i go about actually treating the real thing as just another practice test since I do so well on those? I find this tip so much easier said than done.
@LFiorucci right but having the cost of living decrease --> more consumers --> profits increase could not have happened without traffic decreasing (it is necessary); so we know for sure that it is not possible for traffic to increase because of these conditions being met.
@oldguy that extra necessary condition is to trick you into thinking it must be in the answer. However, we know that cost of living is sufficient for more consumers and more consumers guarantees more profits. So those two are sufficient for the profits to increase.
I think it is for sure feasible. In my opinion, I think it is good to take the exam even if you don't feel completely ready. I took the exam in June and will be taking in August. However, now I know what to expect when I walk into the exam and my nerves are calm. Two months is definitely enough to increase your score, just make sure you take full PTs in testing conditions to gauge a more accurate picture of your potential score on the exam!
Hi, I am taking my first LSAT this week. I have studied a lot and I know I am prepared, but I still have really bad testing anxiety and the anticipation of testing day is making me worried that I may start freaking out during the test. My heart beats extremely fast when I am nervous and I am scared that will happen and I will panic.
Does anyone have any tips to overcome this anxiety?
I didn't think i would still be here but would love some merch to remember this treacherous journey, that is, the lsat of course :))
