Draft time!
I have finally selected a topic and am currently in the process of drafting the personal statement. I’m feeling a bit of pressure and it sure doesn’t help that I’m a perfectionist and my worst critic when it comes to writing. Let’s see how this goes!
MyEleventhPost: Post D-Day!
First, I would like to reiterate what D-Day (December 8th) was about. Two things were to happen on this day: I take my driver’s skills test and I find out how I did on the November LSAT. I decided that I was going to take the Driver’s skills test and then check my LSAT score just so that I would be able to focus.
Turns out, I couldn’t take the test because apparently my driving school did not send my information to the MVA (Maryland’s DMV) due to some error in the system or whatever. So that was…what it was. On the drive back, I decided to check my LSAT score and well…
I’ll start by saying that I did not reach my goal score. There was definitely an improvement from my previous LSAT score and a huge jump in percentile, but it still wasn’t what I wanted. When I opened the email and saw my score I can’t honestly say that I wasn’t disappointed. But I wasn’t devastated. It was more like an “Aww Man!” than a “My life is over.” In fact, I believe that if I did not have a goal set, I would have been happy/relieved to see my score.
The thing is though, as I was checking the individual sections and how many I got right in each I saw how I greatly improved. I began to reflect on the efforts it took to get there and compare it to how I was doing before and I couldn’t have been more proud of myself. Especially, on the LR section where I got a lot of the tough questions that people on reddit feared correct!
Even though I feel like I have not hit my ceiling and I definitely could do better, I will not be retaking the LSAT for a third time. I made up my mind when I took the November LSAT that this would be the last. Also, I have dedicated officially six months to this test. I think I’ve had enough. For now, I am going to focus on the rest of my application, which is pretty much done with the exception of my personal statement.
For others who took the November LSAT and got their score back I hope you are pleased with it. And if not, better luck next time.
One-sixty-TWO!
I finally got my LSAT score and I’m so excited! All this time I was aiming towards a 160 but I wasn’t sure if I could reach it on test day. So you can imagine my surprise when I not only hit my target score, but passed it by getting a 162! When I opened that email I cried of happiness because it has been quite a journey to get here. After countless hours of prepping, blood, sweat, and tears, all my hard work finally paid off. Here we go towards the next stage of law school applications!
What’s the score?
Tomorrow’s the day I get my LSAT score! I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit nervous about not reaching the score I aimed for and feeling like the all the effort I put in was for nothing. However, I have to trust myself and realize that even if I don’t get the score I wanted, I still did my best on test day. Now I just got to believe that everything will work out in the end and that I will get into a good law school. Wish me luck!
Done 2.0
This is the last day of LSAT prep! I know I said the same thing two weeks ago but, I hope this time I actually mean it. After taking almost 60 prep tests, there’s not much more to do other than relax and control the nerves leading up to Saturday. Here I go!
MyTenthPost: December 8th
I’m here to quickly inform you that I scheduled my Driver’s License test on December 8th. Then after having a conversation with my mom, when she asked me when my LSAT score would be available, it hit me like a fire truck: I’m gonna find out what I got on a test that determines the course of my future on the same day I find out if I get my license or not. As If there weren’t enough pressure, I’m gonna have to face my parents with both truths. December 8th is D-Day for many reasons, and things may actually explode. Godspede.
4 days!
Four days of LSAT prep left and tomorrow I take my last Prep Test! Now I know I said this before but lets hope this is finally it! I’m more excited to be done with this than anxious at this point!
Well, this was unexpected...
In a crazy turn of events, my LSAT was cancelled due to problems with the test center. Up until yesterday, I thought that by this time today I was going to be done with the test and feeling relieved. Instead, I am anxiously waiting for the makeup test date, hoping that I can still make my applications in time, and praying that everything works out.
This goes to show you that life sometimes throws you curveballs, and you just have to deal with them and adapt to the situations.
P.S. I have officially run out of Prep Tests so I have no idea what to even study until the test date.
