Hey! So it has been a while since I've posted a motivation post for everyone. I've been caught up in getting my applications ready to submit (I think this part might be harder than the LSAT!)
Don't settle! You know what you are capable of and where you want to be, so don't stop until you get there. The LSAT has this strange ability to make it feel like you are just spinning your wheels in the mud. It feels like you are stuck at a plateau and that no matter how much work you put in you just can't improve. In fact, I would say the LSAT excels at making people feel like this.
Guess what, you are improving. Even if that score doesn't budge for a month, you are still honing your skills and improving on the test. Understanding is only half the battle on the LSAT, speed and accuracy is the rest. I learned the hard way that using your score as a metric to judge your progress will only lead to unbridled frustration. Don't do that! Instead of focusing on the macro of your score, focus on the micro of beating a difficult problem. Get yourself excited when you spot one of the LSAT's tricks, laugh at the test when you see it trying to beat you. Slowly over time these mini successes will accumulate, and that is when you will notice you are beginning to improve on speed and accuracy. You'll notice yourself finishing sections on time or even early. You'll have the new tool of having an extra couple of minutes to review the harder questions. You'll start seeing your score climb. It will be consistent.
You'll look back at all those moments you felt like you were not improving and realize that those were the moments you were improving the most. Those were the moments you were gaining an understanding of the test you did not have before. Those were the moments where you could of given up, but you didn't. You'll look back with a score you are proud of.
So don't settle. You are fully capable of beating the LSAT. I'd like to think that the LSATcantwin!
