Hello guys,

My first time posting here, but before I continue my face is filled with tears at the moment. I cry nearly everyday because I seek meaning in life. I am a dreamer and a beliver of anything, and I belive everything is possible. Things amaze me and I cry because of the meaning behind them not because I am an emotional person.

For some reason, I cannot figure out the lsat, and my dreams are being crushed. I have a 4.0 Undergrad GPA, I am a certified pharmacy technican, and I have received multiple scholarships for academic success as an undergrad. I am currently finishing my senior year of undergrad. I have been studying for the lsat since July. My diagnostic was a 128. The highest I have ever scored is a 144 up until now since July. I think I am a very creative and smart person. I too have been told many times by others. However, I cannot wrap my head around this test. I must take the DEC LSAT, and try to get into a school close to me called Southern Methodist University. What should I do? Are there some people who just can't take the LSAT? No matter how hard I try, my score keeps dropping and dropping. I study up to 5 hours a day 6 times a week. I cry everyday and pray to God everyday that please let me get accepted into Southern Methodist University. I will cry and study everyday because I want meaning out of life, and it is my dream to be an attorney. I hope I can score 150 at least by then by DEC.

Thanks for listening to me!

To be honest, The LSAT Trainer will probably help you with the LSAT more than God will

Personally, I would like to see a breakdown of study gains made by combonation of LSAT study aids and Diety/Religion. Perhaps the best LR approach is PowerScore/Buddhism.

on that note. stop worrying about your score and just learn the fundamentals and figure out the mechanics of why things are right and wrong and how to answer the questions. the score will come with time. and don't rush into timed practice.

You have a 4.0 undergrad, you are smart enough.

Don't get discouraged. Start from scratch, take baby steps. You may have to push back your test from December, I know I am.

Regardless, take this as an opportunity for you to take the time to really learn the test in and out.

Do the test untimed, see how you do.

If you don't get near perfect you know you have much to learn.

IF you do get perfect, that's great, now figure out how to translate it in a timed scenario.

Work on whatever section you're having the most difficulty with first, and master it.

I felt exactly like you a few weeks ago so I know what you're going through.

There is a great saying in the Bhagavad Gita about consecrated action that I believe would be relevant to your situation, it says:

"Do not be concerned with the fruit of your action. The fruit will come of its own accord."

You've got to love what you're doing and become fluent at it, a master. The fruit will come.

Also, see Louie Rodriguez post:

Never lose hope. Keep fighting.
