Test anxiety would be an improvement...

My endeavor to tackle the LSAT and attempt admission to a Law School has seriously affected my overall self-esteem.  Here is what information is given about this test:

The LSAT is a standardized test designed to measure skills that are considered essential for success in law school: the reading and comprehension of complex texts with accuracy and insight; the organization and management of information and the ability to draw reasonable inferences from it; the ability to think critically; and the analysis and evaluation of the reasoning and arguments of others.

Now, that would be great except that I feel lost through most of my studies.  Seriously?!  I'm supposed to consider what would strengthen an argument seems, to me, to be the most likely to weaken it?  Then, when listening to the argument, it is presented in such a manner that I must have been so silly to think that it would weaken the argument; just look - *poof* - see?  It really helps, so it's the correct answer.

I wish I could say that I am suffering from text anxiety, but this is simply a matter of I don't think I can actually think this way at all thereby keeping myself from my new goal in life.  How depressing!  Ugh!

But, given that I am a perfectionist, I will continue on my path and hope that I am able to get the correct answers come exam day.  If not, well, I guess I'll have some massive egg on my face when I have to admit that I sucked badly.  

Until then......studying!
