How can i get rid of my jitters regarding my big LSAT exam?
I will be taking my LSAT (Law School Admission Test) on Sept.29th, and it is taking over my life it seems like. I have been having these excruciating headaches, stomaches, and a backache, not to mention extreme dizziness. At times, i forget whether i locked the front door or not, amongst other things. I am way too anxious about the test to be practicing like i had before it was nearing. I am just helpless. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what i can do? Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It doesn't matter...you are only 15 and won't pass the thing anyway.If you really are the age you say you are, then I would propose you moving out of your parents house. You get all the pains because you are a nerd.you just need to accept that you aren't going to pass the test!
Have a dance with MaryJane, or take a xanax.

the more you worry the worse you will do. High anxiety is associated with a low exam score. So keep occupied and don't over work yourself or you are destined to do badly.
take practice tests very frequently. Take the full practice test under as similar conditions as the exam.
a) you wont get test fatigue if you have gotten your stamina up thru this method
b) you wont be quite so nervous because you will be familiar with question types/formats
c) you will have done everything possible to do your best and thats all that can ever be done.
"Try to relax" is too general of an answer for you right now, ain't it? Trust me, I know the feeling. Distractions are the best thing right now; read a book for fun, play a video game, out out a bulletin on your Myspace (if you have one) that you need someone, anyone, to distract you by taking you out somewhere to do something that isn't anywhere near your LSAT books. Oh, and the obvious ones: stay away from caffeine, get plenty of sleep, and do a little yoga to clear your mind a little bit.
You made it far to get to the LSAT exam. The ethics exam is worse. Set aside only two hours a day for reading and do other things. The day of the exam, eat something with a lot of protien. I ate some orange roughy and blew right threw it. Don't eat anything too heavy that'll make you sleepy. It's not that hard of an exam if you relax yourself and just read the questions. You can also google search for LSAT questions and practice, if you dont' want to pay for the practice exams. A week before the test, start getting some good sleep. After your done taking it, you'll be amazed how easy it is.
Visit a court and have a look at some of the people who managed to not only do well on the LSAT, actually graduated Law School and passed the Bar.
I can assure you that every step of the process will be much less intimidating after that.
