I had been told by many people in my social circle and by others who had taken the test previously, that the LSAT was a test of intelligence — not content. Many of my peers made it appear as if the LSAT is a test that one cannot not ‘study’ for, as there are no memorizable blocks of information, and because every LSAT test is different in many ways.
This way of thinking not only pushed me to believe that every new practice LSAT I took was a fresh slate, but also that there were few possible ways to draw conclusions and find feedback in the results from the previous practice test’s result. Early in my LSAT experience, I struggled with identifying the correct way to practice and drill, which resulted in taking an official test too early and before I was ready. I scored below my goal and felt very discouraged.
