LSAT Diary: Avoiding Panic and Gaining Confidence

This installment of LSAT Diaries comes from Sarah, who took the December 2013 LSAT after using my 1-month day-by-day LSAT study plan.

Update from Sarah:

"I got a 160! Which, if you remember from my diary, is the best score I've ever gotten! I know it's not the greatest score ever, but it's MY best score and it'll probably get me into the law schools I want to go to (Northeastern, specifically). Thank you SO much for all the help you've given me through your blog. I hope you know how valuable your site is to people who can't afford traditional tutoring."

If you want to be in LSAT Diaries, please email me at LSATUnplugged@gmail.com. (You can be in LSAT Diaries whether you've taken the exam already or not.)
