LSAT

I am taking the LSAT this June. As the big day comes closer, Iâ€™m getting really panicky and nervous. Could you give me some tips for keeping my stress and tension levels low?

Dear Pre-law student,

If you’re anxious going into the LSAT, you’ll be taking the test with a muddled mind. Chances are you won’t be able to process what you are reading, which will adversely affect your performance. Here are a few tips that have helped me over the years: 1) Do not cram. Space out your studying sessions so that you have time to process and review material.2) Eat breakfast before the exam.3) Exercise regularly before the test. Go for a jog, lift some weights, do some yoga, and breathe.4) Get a good night’s sleep.5) Make sure you have a clear understanding of the test directions.6) Hang out with friends the night before and have a good laugh. Although the LSAT is a major determining factor in terms of which school ultimately accepts you, schools will also concentrate on your GPA, letters of recommendation, personal statement, and interview. I hope this reminder will alleviate some of your anxiety.
