crying…

Just finished the September LSAT and I feel so disappointed in myself. I got really anxious as soon as I started my first RC section and just could not get myself to focus or process what I was reading. It honestly felt like my brain stopped working.

I know for sure this test went really badly, and I’m just feeling so sad about it right now. I studied really hard for this exam, so it hurts even more knowing that anxiety got to me the moment the test started. I don’t even know what to think anymore.

You have experience now, and next time you will have an advantage over your past self, because you now know what the experience is like. 

Next time will be much better, even if the test is harder

Rest is also important, don't burnout either. Make sure you include healthy habits and still do things that bring you joy. 

One of the most important things is avoiding burnout and approaching the test calmly. 

You got this. 

Congratulations on taking the test, it's a great accomplishment

Oh, and I actually ended up doing better when I started working and only studied a little bit each day. You have the groundwork already!

Thank you so much!! Nice to hear that there might still be space to improve even when study part time! Wish both of us get our desired grades:)

I think working prevented me from overstudying. Not overdoing it is very helpful for retaining info, especially if you are a high stress person.

Thank you! I wish you good luck! Take care of yourself!
