Post Test Optimism, a good or bad thing?

MConner16

So I took my first official LSAT yesterday and my gut reaction was that I did pretty well. When I would take practice tests I always felt as though I did worse than I actually did. Has anyone else had a similar experience? and if so how did that reflect in your score? I know this is all complete speculation, and that I might go crazy in the 24 days until scores have to be posted. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'd say that's a GREAT thing. Enjoy the fact that you aren't stressing over a section you didn't finish or a problem you think you got wrong.

Sit back. Relax. And enjoy the SuperBowl today!

Emotions are not reflective of performance. So you don't need to worry about it either way.
