Don't show weakness. You're ready. make sure to relax during the test if you feel yourself spazzing out. A little stress will keep you alert so don't panic if you feel your heart start to beat a little faster than normal. Fight or flight kicks in and you're going
to fight your ass off because you're no chump. youve been taking tests your whole life. It's nothing. Don't scramble when the proctor tells you to start. Take an extra second, breathe, and begin. Cool as ice. You've done this before.

    You can do it. This is just PrepTest 81. It's nothing special. It's just like all the others. The others that you relentlessly prepared for and know how to crush.

    This is your chance to shine. Embrace the moment as your platform to show just how good you are at this test.

    Yes ???????????? PT81. No surprises. We've done it all. We've done these questions so many times, were actually looking forward to see how they try and ask it differently THIS time.

    We actually need to get this thread going where people post WHY they're looking forward to this test.

    i have a frien who says "damn dude, the stuff in the test is fun to answer when it's not a test" and to that I say, it's not treating it like a test man, I'm going to the LSAT center and essentially having fun. After all, how nerve wrecking can it really be if I know that I have many more attempts?

    And if you need any more motivation than this, think of how excited you will be when you are done with the LSAT

    I feel the motivation and vibe on this chat! LSAT doesnt stand a chance- Not now, not ever! Haha! Crush it guys!

    Like every test before it, how different can it be? Maybe an oddball game? So what? Keep calm and kill it. You could show my friend PT 29 and PT 80 and they'd probably score the same and not notice much, if any, difference. I think a lot of it is all in our heads!

    You guys got this!

    Seriously guys. Like what r they going to do? Give us three easy games then throw in a misc game? Or just give us grouping and sequencing variations? LG is cake.

    What about LR? They're going to ask us why an argument is flawed by giving us the answers?

    RC?? Most of us slow down on RC cause we spend half our time underlining crap. They're going to ask us to read half a page and answer questions like an open book test?

    Cmon guys, it's a cake walk!!!

    I took the February LSAT and realized like its the SAME stuff!!! Once you've done all the PTs you realize that...and the reason I'm retaking is because I bombed it so hard because of test day stress that I left atleast 10 questions just blank. I got a 158. My best advice to anyone who has the material nailed down already isto seriously take a step back, go for a brisk walk or jog or run, get the juices flowing in your brain and go to test day confident. No weakness guys. Some of us have done calculus and chemistry and physics and engineering and whatever else it may be, and succeeded. The LSAT is easy for people who can successfully argue and reason, but half the battle is the ability to control your stress and emotions during the test.

    I study at the library or at home. Both of which aren't completely silent and free of distraction. The test center will be quiet and you can think. I'm looking forward to that.

    @Kewlaidd I love this so much. ^yup name the enemy/worst that could happen then go for the kill. I hope you can make it to the Pep Rally tomorrow and share that perspective!

    Update, I just PTd my lowest score so far. I look at my mistakes and they're trivial...totally uncalled for. And leading up to test day, it lead me to be a total try hard on this test.

    Which brings me to my next point. Don't overcompensate on test day. The more you try and
    Over exert yourself the more it takes away from your attention to detail and other capabilities.

    Don't run too fast or you will trip.

    That's so true! When I took the test before I knew how to study for the LSAT, most of my mistakes were from overdoing things and second guessing myself rather than trusting what I knew.

    Yeah, there is a lot of temptation to alter your testing strategies out of caution. Being aware of the fact that that will happen is a huge edge. Awareness will allow you to proactively and consciously fight it. Test exactly how you practiced. You are a finely tuned LSAT taking machine and you don't want to let anxiety dictate any changes.

    That's it. You're going to score higher come Monday. Good job. Now if I were you I'd do as much as I can to preserve whatever mental strength it was that got you that highest score. Chill out the rest of today! Feed your brain. Be sharp! And good luck Monday, I'm there with you buddy.

    Love this! We can totally do it. Just walking into the room knowing that we've put in more time, effort, energy, and tears (?) than anyone else is going to be a confidence booster in and of itself.

    I actually think I'm more excited than nervous :smile:

    Good luck everyone! Like I mentioned on another thread, tomorrow's test is just the culmination of all your studying. That was the real work/test. Tomorrow is your opportunity to benefit from your months of sacrifice, endless drilling, and PTing. You are at the end of the real LSAT (the months of work leading up to a three-hour demonstration). You got this!
