😖 Frustrated

Looking ahead

I'm an incoming junior in college and want to take the lsat early, is this a good idea? I know the scores are good for up to three years so why not take it now and get the stress of senior year out of the way. I'm a very visual learner so the lsat is a real struggle for me--and I don't understand the point of a wrong journal!? I write what I got wrong, why the correct answer is correct and then what? I feel as though writing all that out won't help me in the long run no?

I haven't taken a diagnostic yet, and I'm wondering if I should but finding time to take a three hour test without any distractions (I get distracted very easily) is hard. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong. But is starting early good?

My gpa is a 2.8 right now, and I'm retaking some courses to boost it up. Is there anything else I should be doing? I feel very discouraged.

I've reached a point in studying where I feel like I'll never understand any of this. Does it get any better guys!? I'm planning on taking the october lsat and I don't know where to start.

I notice for Q2 in the contrapositive, "within august--/holiday", neither part has parenthesis, when the other problems do? Can someone explain this? Some problems have them while others don't?

I picked D then got it right during the blind review. I was stuck between C and D the whole time.

I think that, at least for me, the comments help more than the videos. I think i've taken more notes on what other people have shared rather than the actual videos. Not sure what that says about my retention skills or if the lesson structures just aren't for me

I thought the conclusion started with the indicator "since" so I picked A....

@isabellagirjikian I've found that reading the question first works better for finding exactly what you need, aka to skip over the things you don't need. I've been told to do this since elementary school for state testing.

Breaking down the passage into sections is always best.

I think I'm going to skip the blind review, it makes me second guess myself and I don't really see the purpose? I got the question correct thankfully but can someone please explain the purpose of blind review to me.

I dont understand the point of the blind review because there is nothing different about the review vs the question. I got it right the first time, B, then on the blind review I second guessed myself and chose E.

4/5 because i thought that all of the Qs would have a conclusion to pick out, so I got Q1 wrong lol

4/5 this was rather easy to understand, for Q4 I started the conclusion at Thus rather than Long blocks which was ultimately my own brain fart.
