Tell me those Oct Score release feels!

SHARE YOUR FEELS HERE. I’d love to create a cathartic space on this subreddit for once.

I will participate as well: I’m racked with anxiety. Oct has been my third writing of this exam. Though I feel better than I ever have I am worried because my first two score releases were crushing.

In retrospect, I know I choked on my first exam in January. In fact, I also choked on the PT I took 3 days before the Jan LSAT where I got a 149, my lowest score ever. That test I scored a 162 – 8 points below my best.

Prior to the April LSAT release, I thought I did better on my second test. I also choked on that one (as I could not remember ANYTHING about the test). I got a 163 – 7 points below my best.

Then I made the mistake of only taking two weeks off before studying for April.

For October, I took 6 months off. I also bumped my highest PT by 7 points. Reflecting on how I felt when I choked I did a lot of reading and listening on previsualization and test/sports mentality.

Going into October I went in ready to crush the LSAT.

The big difference in mentality was my outlook sitting down for the exam. Last time I went in hoping I did well. This time I did not choke: I remember the test very clearly, down to the question stems and stimuli.

When I left the exam feeling like had absolutely did well. A 180 was not out of the question based on how I felt. I devoured the test questions like a wolf among sheep… but it’s hard to shake the crushing memories of my last two score release days. I thought I did well but when I didn’t I fell apart.

Hoping I did well, I have reason to think I did better.

Overall, I am still feeling awful tho.

How bout u?
