Addendum for 154-167-173 LSAT, Feedback Needed
Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 12:25 pm
Hey all,
I'm trying to write an addendum explaining improvement in leaps and bounds in LSAT scores over the course of 1 year (December 09, October 10 and December 10). I was better prepared each time, but in general I would freeze the first time I hit a snag on the games section. That's the angle I tried to push in my addendum.
Any help to make it better would be greatly appreciated:
Addendum: LSAT Explanation
When I first took the LSAT in December of 2009, I had practiced at length. However, practicing under artificial testing conditions failed to adequately prepare me for the psychological aspect of a real LSAT, particularly the effect it had on my ability to complete the analytical reasoning section and a loss of concentration following it. I subsequently received a low score, and endeavored to become familiar enough with that area of the LSAT to mitigate test-day pressures.
I took the LSAT again in October of 2010 after having worked to become comfortable enough with that section. I improved, but still struggled with the psychological aspect of the analytical reasoning section and couldn’t duplicate my results during practice on the real LSAT exam. Knowing I wasn’t reaching my potential score, I took the test a third time in December of 2010 and received the score that I expected and believe most accurately reflects my ability to succeed in law school.
