So I take the LSAT on Saturday and I am so nervous about, in fact I would rather be giving a speech in front of 5,000 people. Any suggestion on how to cope with tension and nervousness, besides taking prozac or something. Heck I could never get a prescription from now to Saturday.
 
The first thing that I would do, is pray, pray and pray some more! It works! Then study, as best you can. At night, you will retain more, but don't exhaust yourself. Try to develope a "picture memory", by the following. Look at a wall, while putting the word or term, on it. Study it intensely! Then, when you're taking the test, picture the word, or term in front of you. If you aren't sure about an answer, move on to the next. When you come back to it, you may then remember, if not, move on, etc...Some people swear by word association. I've never been able to do it, though.

bsmart...you have received some very good suggestions here! Do you test well? If so, the LSAT should be fine. My husband took the LSAT YEARS ago and his scores were not as good as he would have liked (this was before people took those tests over and over). He had excellent grades and a strong resume though. The morale of the story is...he is now a prominent attorney in a prestigious global law firm*. Hard work, motivation (and some learned smarts) will serve you well. It also helps to have a good woman by your side!!! You seem very focused to me...you will do well! Best of luck...we need you down in SoWal, protecting nature!!

*I use this term to help me justify spending money on things that will make our lives easier....although, he still hangs our Christmas lights with our son...and they are so proud when done!!! We live in a neighborhood where people spend large amounts of $$ to have their decorations professionally done!

Enough Sueshore...what a ramble...I am sure I lost you a long time ago!!!!

Make sure you get a little break with exercise - walk, bike, yoga - whatever. It will free your mind AND help you sleep.

It's all about perspective. Your life does not depend on that test. And even if it did, they'll let you retake it.

Getting in the arena with a hungry lion is something to worry about. Naming your first child is something to worry about. Having your picture posted on the internet is something to worry about.

Giving up your soul and obtaining a law degree is nothing to worry about right? Just kidding I know you are hoping to defend the environment. It needs all the help it can get. That IS something to worry about.

Have a fantastic time at the beach- I know you will! And so will Molly- that's one dog that will sleep like a rock every night after playing at the beach! If you can't post, keep a diary and post all the funny stuff later! I wish the plane taking me to Orlando in 2 weeks would drop me over Grayton for at least one little cocktail.....
