@ravioli whats your routine look like? I am trying to implement a morning study session too, but I can't seem to figure one out.

A good example that helped me understand AC A was law school admissions. There are different factors for applications (LSAT score, GPA, personal statement, LORs, optional statements, resume, etc.) What is a school that just admits students with a nearly perfect LSAT score, but doesn't take into account that their GPA is extremely low, they have a poorly written personal statement, and they have zero work experience? How can they be surprised if the student starts flunking if they did not check all these other factors and red flags? Now, let's say your LSAT score is mediocre, but you have a great GPA, a good personal statement, and good LORs to make you seem like a well-rounded student. A school is going to check those other factors and vet you if you have a low LSAT score, but because of that vet process, you could have a better chance of succeeding in law school than that student who just has a good LSAT score to offer.

I'm not here to give advice, but I am here to say that I experience the same exact thing! I actually feel a little better knowing I'm not alone in this. As a perfectionist, it's very discouraging for me not to excel on this test as quickly as I would like. I keep reminding myself that eventually I will get better with time. I see it as progressing in lifting weights; it will take time and mistakes to get to your ultimate physique (aka your dream score). Bogging myself down with frustration will only slow me down from the bigger picture: getting into law school. We will get better, hang in there!!!
