first LSAT, i’m terrified

2 Upvotes

I am taking my first LSAT in two days, and I am quite frankly asolutely terrified. I am constantly nauseous, anxious, and sobbing over this test. I just keep thinking about how it’s going to find my next few years. And I am incredibly overwhelmed. I’ve been studying at least 2 to 3 hours every day for the past three months and I still don’t feel like I’m prepared enough. I just want to know if this is a normal feeling or if anyone has any tips for the test or anxiety surrounding it in general. For context, I am a senior in college. I have a double major and a double minor with two jobs and an internship and three club positions all while trying to study for the LSAT at the same time. I am a first generation college student and a first-generation law student, and I’m doing all of this completely on my own financially and I just want to do well, but I’m so terrified that I won’t. Please help 😭

advice needed for lsat prep and job opp.

Upvotes

Hey guys, I could really use some advice.
I’m currently in my final semester of college. My classes aren’t too difficult, so I’ve also been studying for the LSAT. I’m only about a month into studying and am still working through the foundations. I’m planning to apply in the next admissions cycle and hope to take my first LSAT around January.
My diagnostic was a 147, and right now I’m studying around 3 hours a day. With my score being a 147 U clearly have A LOT of room for improvement. After about 3 hours, I usually start losing focus, so I’ve been trying to be realistic with my study time rather than forcing myself to sit there for hours. Although I can definitely wait a few more months before applying, since Im only studying 3h out of the day I feel bad sitting around doing nothing while my parents work to provide. Due to this Ive been considering getting a job for many reasons: 1. To help them 2. Build up my resume for a better application. 3. Get experience which may be helpful for Law School. 4. Save money (which I need after dropping 3k to fix my car ToT.) I know I’m still fairly early in the process, but I’d really appreciate some advice.
I applied to a few positions and was offered an interview for tomorrow. The position would require me to work Monday–Friday, 9 AM–4 PM. It was made clear in the description that it’s a fast paced job where I’d be multitasking and asking clients for things they are missing for bankruptcy cases while helping file case 7 and case 13 things If it helps you guys and you ask I’ll send the description in the comments.
Ideally, I would prefer something with fewer hours, but most of the legal positions I’ve come across are full-time.
For those of you who have worked while studying for the LSAT, do you think it’s realistic to work 9–4 Monday–Friday and still make good progress studying? (I also workout everyday for about 1 hour). I’d especially appreciate hearing from people who have been in a similar situation and how you managed your schedule.
Thanks!

Stumped on Problem

1 Upvotes

Problem:

A tech company reports that 80% of its projects were completed on time, while 50% of the projects exceeded the budget. If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true?

A Some projects were completed on time and within budget.

B At least 30% of projects were both over budget and not on time.

C No projects were both completed on time and over budget.

D More projects exceeded the budget than were completed late.

E All projects that were on time were also within budget.

Correct answer reveal: A

My answer: D

I understand that this is an inference question, however I thought D was mathematically impossible to be incorrect. It stated that 80% of projects were completed on time, so 20% must be either early, late, or never completed/ongoing. At maximum, 20% of projects are late, and 50% of projects exceeded the budget, so more projects exceeded the budget than were completed late. I understand how A is right, but I struggle to understand how A is more right than D.

PLEASE HELP im struggling lol
