  Don't get discouraged and remember it's a learnable test! Jump into the Core Curriculum and hold off on more tests until you finish.

  I meant the diagnostic. More so taking the test after months of no LSAT ( three to be exact)

  Remember help is available. Probably BR it, then review, then start or restart the CC.

  Did you have a small or unimpressive improvement? We have a club going. Apparently, we need to buy jackets

  Seriously, I only gained a couple points and was like "Wtf.. But I know stuff now!".
  It's the practice and review and studying after that you start seeing more gains. It's slow. And tedious. You know the lessons, but doing them under time and pressure kinda kills things. Also, you may think you understood the lessons, and the PT's show you that you didn't quite get it. Go back over them. That's okay. It happens.
  And always do a thorough Blind Review. Take your time, and really tackle the questions. A BR should take you longer than the test if you are going over a lot of questions (I BR all my questions, not just the circled ones. Sometimes, I find blind spots). If your BR is better, it shows the lessons are sticking, and it's just the time and pressure you have to overcome. And that comes in practice.

  I am in a boat just a little farther ahead of you right now. Hang in there. Try not to set anything on fire just yet.

  Also, a good cry in between the PT and the Blind Review is totally acceptable. You don't need to immediately BR right after, when your brains are falling out through your nose still from thinking for 3.5 hours solid.
