Nervous about December LSAT, Have not started studying Forum

[kweehunt]

I plan on taking the December LSAT this year, but I am extremely nervous about it. There is a Full-Length Power Score course that I plan on registering for this weekend to prepare for the exam. The course starts on Oct. 11 and ends a few days before the December LSAT. Is that enough time to go from completely unprepared to the 170 range? I realize that everyone is different and that many other factors exist, but any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

No reason not to.

Seriously, start now. I WISH I had taken those few extra weeks before my class started to do something. A two month long course will go by extremely fast.

I'm sorry, I did not mean to imply that I wasn't planning on studying at all in between now and the start of the course. While I do expect the majority of my preparation to be in the time frame of the course, I will study any chance I can get.

I know this sounds a little immature but I am very worried about taking the LSAT. I don't think it is necessarily how prepared I feel for the exam, but how important becoming a lawyer is to me. I guess I'm just hoping this uneasy feeling starts to dwindle the more familiar I become with the LSAT.

Being nervous for any exam is normal. With this being said, I think you should start studying and focus on getting the score you want. The nerves will eventually go away, but for now use the nerves to propel you to study for the exam.


Hope all goes well !

Get a diagnostic at least. There's a big difference between going from 165 to 170+ and <150 to 170+. It may require more than a few months of studying.
