hi everyone im a long time lurker
my history
feb 2012- cancel
june 2012- 163
october 2012- 161
i wasnt prepared for the feb test and canceled. for the june test, i drilled 40 pts from february to june and averaged around 171 in my pts. i felt confident going into junes exam. however, during the june test i got extremely nervous and blanked out and got a dismal score. (most of the misakes were fucking STUPID fwiw, got the hard q's correct)
for octobers test, i didnt do much except the month before the test, i did around 15 pts, averaging low 170s. my best friend died a week before the october exam (i cant tell if this affected my performance, i was blocking a lot of emotions out during that period). i walked out of october thinking theres no way i scored below 163 but you know the story.
i think that i might have a severe case of testing anxiety, i shouldnt be scoring 10 points below my pt, ive been studying for almost a year now and this process is taxing.
when is the next test i can take? anyone else have or know someone who's had a similar experience to mine? should i just go into a school like loyola or pepperdine (im from l.a.)
feeling pretty fucking hopeless at this point, any feedback is appreciated
