Is it normal to feel you didn't do well?
I didn't day dream or blank out at any point but idk...I'm just getting these bad feelings that I didn't do what I do in pts and stuff like that. Also game 2 and 3 were weird for me ..and last RC. Ugh I don't wanna take this test again in December

I am right there with you, but I also felt that way after every preptest so I'm trying not to linger on it. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks.

Re: Is it normal to feel you didn't do well?
Especially on an exam which results drastically determine your capabilities. The LSAT is to see you are capable of constructing the right set of skills, and have the right skills, respectively. It depends also why you feel that way, sometimes you just may feel you didn't do well, and in fact you really didn't do well! Sometimes you exceed all expectations/receive high score! On the other hand, if you felt you were going to have a much better experience during the test, but just feel like you really didn't meet those upper echelon of standards, your subconscious may put it all together for you, hence, why you feel that. You may feel that way, regardless you can still do really well and yes, it is normal.

Re: Is it normal to feel you didn't do well?
I just wanted to share my experience with the LSAT and hopefully that will calm your nerves. When I retook the test, I thought I did so poorly that I nearly canceled my score. I decided to wait out the nerves and just see what happened. I scored one of the best results I had gotten on any of the practice tests. I think that just goes to show how bad test day anxiety can mess with you. Don't worry about what you can't change and just know that retaking isn't all that horrible if you have to do it (I'm sure glad that I did). All of that being said, I'm sure you did fine.

Popping in to say that I had a pretty similar experience. Thought I bombed it, had to be talked down from canceling, and ended up scoring a point below my average. It's super normal for the real thing to feel like shit, so don't let that feeling get to you.superpatton wrote:I just wanted to share my experience with the LSAT and hopefully that will calm your nerves.
