Nervous about the December LSAT?

J.Y. Ping

Of course you are. You're about to take an important test. It's not the most important test though. That one is called the February LSAT.

Just kidding. This is likely the last LSAT you'll ever take.

I'm only trying to remind you that for something this important, there are second chances. That's not true for a lot of other important things in life, so that's something to feel good about.

For most of you, you already know what score you'll get. Take your last three recent properly administered LSAT PrepTests (e.g., 74, 75, 76) and average your scores. You'll get plus or minus 3 points of that average.

There is nothing separating you from that score except the mere passing of a few day's time.

You are as prepared as you can be. You have already seen everything those crafty LSAT writers will throw at you and you've amply demonstrated your ability to respond with craftiness of your own.

Saturday will be just another PT day and the December 2015 LSAT will be just another PT. PrepTest 77, in fact, when the LSAC releases it. And how different could that be from PT 76 and PT 75 and PT 74 and on and on and on.

You're ready.

That's not to say, of course, that you won't encounter a few insanely difficult curve breaker questions. Every LSAT has them. Every student who has ever taken the LSAT before you has encountered them. You will encounter them (again) on Saturday. I am telling you this now, so you will be prepared. Skip them. Keep moving. Maintain your rhythm.

You got this.

I remember you posting this in the past, shortly after I had discovered this site. At that time my last three PTs were below the (then unrealistic) expectations I had put on myself and I was hoping I could somehow score above that on test day. NOPE. Scored exactly my average, right where I belonged.

This quote stuck with me as I spent most of this year studying. Now I would be happy to receive the average I have gotten on 74, 75, and 76. I feel totally different heading into Saturday's exam than I did last year. I have an inner confidence that I can finally reach my true potential. That is in no small part due to 7sage's course and the wonderful community here. I might have a little bit more adrenaline on Saturday but it is just another PT.

We've all made a lot of sacrifices to get here and it is almost over... Keep your eye on the prize.

Best of luck everyone! Your words are awesome as always @"J.Y. Ping"
