Current Events > I have to take this practice LSAT, but I'm nervous

(+) Yeah! (+)

If I dont score high I'm an idiot

No, not really.

For the vast majority of people, it's an entirely different approach to test questions from what they've experienced.

You can find some free practice ones online.

I ordered a book of 10 tests. I will take one to see how I do. If I score 165 or higher I will study and take the test officially

So, for the record, shooting for a 165 from the outset, without studying, is not a good way to approach it.

Because I got a 166 as my second actual score.

I guess

165 as a score would be fine, the best school in my country wants 91 percentile minimum, and that's the best school

I dont wanna bother if it doesnt come naturally, I guess. I dont want to be a lawyer that badly lol

You'll be fine. It's an easy test to study for. The study aids give you all sorts of diagrams you can draw to sort out the logic puzzles.

It also has absolutely nothing to do with law school or being a lawyer lol.

Maybe, but if the entry process gets easier I have no complaints. I wouldnt even be doing this if the field I gave a damn about would even just try me

I don't say that as discouragement, but chances are your first practice test is not going to be good. The LSAT is likely different from what you've done before test-taking-wise, and if you are going the selfstudy route like I did, it's going to be an at times frustrating trek. It takes repetition to start seeing the patterns and tip-offs in questions.

Frankly, I don't think it's even remotely reflective of the expectations in law school. I knew three people who scored in the 170s, and they ended up a full quartile below me in our first year and third year ranks.

Yeah... I'd still have to take 2 years of undergrad classes anyway to fix my gpa, that will probably be more work than the test
