I don't understand how people can do well on this shit...(Vent post)
A little background: successful career, already have an MBA from a very strong school (3.6), 4.0 undergrad...while I do not claim to be Einstein (far from it), I am not a dummy.
Except, per this test, I might be (an actual lawyer told me this was the worst part of law school and worse than the bar).
I've only been studying for a month, so I know I'm still a "rookie." I got a 148 diagnostic, just took a second one and got a 150. I have been reading the content my tutor has been giving me, I've been drilling questions, reviewing why I got them wrong and then taking notes, etc.
Time is what is killing me. There is just NO time on this exam. It seems virtually impossible to even implement some of what I've learned (like sufficient/necessary diagrams) because there is just no time to do so. I can barely finish these sections, and since there is no time, I end up just semi-guessing on questions after like a minute since that's all you really have if you want to even see every question.
My goal was to take this by October and get in the high 160s, but it doesn't seem possible. I just don't get how people can do well on this exam other than by making it their entire life for like a year, and I just don't have that time (and I work full time).
It sucks that this test is the main thing these schools consider in scholarship money (and my other stats, which are strong, will be basically irrelevant). I just need the letters after my name to advance in my current field, so maybe I just go to mediocre school or wherever I can get the most money.
Yes, I know I'm raging. Just needed to vent as I just wasted my afternoon and got absolutely destroyed. /rant.
