Well considering I still have four books to read this week and a paper to write in addition to work, I need to make a decision about the June LSAT. To make it short: I’m not ready. I’m not where I would have liked to be and I have just had too much on my plate. I have a hotel booked on Sunday next to the testing center, it’s too late to postpone the date… so, I either need to take the test and let the score stick, take the test and cancel it, show up and immediately cancel it or not show up at all.
I will see how the rest of the week goes, but I’m starting to think that taking the absence is the best route to go as it does not count against my “three attempts in a two-year period.” I am quite depressed about the idea of pushing back applications until October, though. I will be completely done with undergrad as of July, so it would give me July, August and September to study for the exam, which is a much better prospect than taking the exam when I am not ready and bombing it.
It’s not even that I am scoring poorly on the practice exams, but I’m not scoring how I would like to be scoring. Better yet, I’m not scoring how I know I could be scoring if I could actually focus on studying for the LSAT. Also, too much time is passing between one opportunity to study for the test and the next opportunity to study for it. I’m having to do too much mental backtracking and it just is not efficient.
It also saddens me to know that I will be forfeiting my LSAT fee and my hotel reservation. Maybe I’ll just go to the hotel and try to relax… who knows.
I’m not sure what I am going to do, yet; I will attest that I am in a pretty severe state of panic at this point.
