Discouragement

How do you guys find ways to handle feeling discouraged? I took a PT after the foundations courses and a few weeks of classes and I didn’t have a good result. I can definitely see an improvement on LR but I’m nowhere close to where I want to be. I know I have a far way to go and so much to learn still but….

Just asking to stay sane haha

    Feel that. This test really challenges our mental fortitude.

    If you've just finished CC and only took one PT, then it sounds like you're just starting, so definitely do not worry. You'll see improvement really fast in the beginning, and it'll be encouraging. The true test might be when you start plateauing later (being stuck at a certain score range really tests your sanity) -- also me, currently.

    What really helped me is making sure I have some solid break days throughout the week. On the weekends, I go out and spend time with friends and family and try to not think about the test at all.

    Longer breaks can be really helpful too. I took week+ long breaks and jumped into a different score range, and felt like my mind cleared. Sometimes we get caught up in all the techniques and overthink everything.

    Just take care of yourself, that's number one! Good luck!

    If you didn't score where you wanted to, it means you've some work to do and there are points to gain. I would try to focus on a one or two of QT's at a time and try to drill them. I would start with MC because most of everything on this LSAT is about conclusion and premises. If you can narrow those down, then move on to MSS, because then the conclusion is removed and tugged away in the AC's. Take it one step at a time and you will get there.
