Let's Be Positive

Hey guys,
Been on here and studying for the October LSAT since late July. It's been quite the journey to say the least! After completing all the material, and now taking 4-5 PT a week since late August, I have seen little improvement. Some days are tough. At times it's difficult to keep my chin up when I have an off day. However, I think it's really important at the end of each day to be positive.
I glance at my calendar…19 days left. 19 days to learn, improve, and focus. Although I have seen little progress in my scores and I am well below my target score, there are 19 days to get it together and make it happen. It is possible. The LSAT is challenging, yes. This entire admissions process is as well, yes. But, it is extremely important for all of us to remain positive and understand that this is simply part of the process. Since I first got on 7sage and started reading posts in the feed, I managed to find comfort in knowing I am not alone out there in my quest to tackle this exam and get into law school. Although this is obvious, a nice reminder here and there goes a long way.
I wish everyone the best for the exam on the 3rd. Remain positive, work hard, and be accountable for your work. Know that in the highs and lows of the next few weeks and months, there is someone right there with you chugging along. Improvements can be made, and life is good.
Cheers to 7sage, and cheers to all of us kicking ass.

Took the June test after a Kaplan course and a half-hearted 4 week studying period, got a 153 (one up from my diagnostic, thanks Kaplan).
Took a break and began again in mid-July, just like you! Completely started from scratch, and I have been scoring in the low 160s now, with bad days of 158-159. I need a 162 minimum, and it's been hard. However, I think it is important to reflect on our improvement, too, and the self-discipline it takes for ANY of us to do this. There's a reason why not everyone is a lawyer, as cliché as it sounds. We got this!
