67 Days until the LSAT

This may be my first blog about my journey to Law School, but this journey started years ago. What I know now I wish I knew then.

Here is a little background about me and how my journey started. Last year during my senior year in college, I decided I would like to go to Law School. I felt very confident that I would not have a problem attaining that goal. I had confidence in myself when it came to school and confidence in my testing abilities. I ordered some LSAT (Law School Admission Test) books to prepare myself, signed up for the October 2009 exam, and study what I thought I would need. Test day came, I felt confident, then BAM! I crashed and burned on the test with a very poor 142. Like most people I made excuses of why I did not do well, but the excuse I never brought up was my lack of preparedness.

With my confidence still high and my far from the truth excuses in hand, I attempted to try the test again in December. As I am sure you have guessed I crashed and burned again with a 145. This time I had a pretty good excuse, I did have the flu the day of test day. And let me tell you how hard it is not to sneeze and cough. I should have canceled my score but I live up to my nickname "testa dura" (hard headed).

So here I am again a year later and a new outlook on the test. Since my last disaster I have purchased new books, joined a LSAT prep class www.knewton.com, graduated and understand the test in a whole new light. This is my last chance for 2 years, it's now or never!! or at least for 2 years.

I hope you stay with me on this journey and any feedback or tips will be greatly appreciated.....see you later!
