Hi!

My name is Asma, and I'm a tutor here at 7Sage.

What you're feeling is totally normal, especially before your first official LSAT! I remember feeling the same way. Something that really helped me was reminding myself that feeling anxious doesn't mean I'm not ready.

If you notice your heart racing during the test, try not to see that as a sign that something is wrong. Just notice it, take a slow breath, and gently bring your attention back to the question in front of you. Remember, your goal isn't to feel perfectly calm. It's to use the skills you've practiced so much.

At this point, trust all the work you've put in. The official LSAT is just like the practice tests you've already taken. You've got this! Wishing you the best of luck this week.

Best,

Asma

A small thing I think might help is to try treating your first pass as an elimination step instead of just picking an answer. If you can’t clearly explain why the other four choices are wrong, hold off on making a final decision. This will help you avoid many early mistakes. Have you noticed any patterns as to maybe the kind of questions or even certain things that trip you more often when you do drills vs blind review?
