Hello! Just wanted to say thank you for your vulnerability on here because reading through these comments was so helpful! And thanks to everyone for sharing the methods that worked best for them as well. I'm taking the October and November LSATs and didn't start taking PT's until September (I took 2 this whole month, once the first week, and once yesterday).

I have to say, I started telling myself that when it comes down to it, facing the truth of where I'm at with my score, whatever it may be, will prove to be a more productive method than anxiously tip-toeing around taking a PT. If I have a realistic perspective of where I'm at, I can then make decisions in my studying to cater to my weak points!

Also, know this: IT IS POSSIBLE to get the score you want. It's not as scary as it is in your head. Your brain is malleable, it just needs practice. There are tons of success stories with this exam, but each of them started the same way where fear was overcome through practice. We got this! Good luck (3(/p)

Glad I got this wrong because I learned a lesson about NOT picking the answer choice that is too ambiguous and needs some extra level of translation before application.
