Random Thoughts

I've just finished the LNAT.

The first major examination in a very, very long time...

For those unfamiliar with the term, LNAT stands for Law National Aptitude Test ( I think la). It is a mandatory examination that all UK-LAW hopefuls have to take if they want to secure a place in a UK University reading Law. It is supposed to gauge your "powers of discrimination" and "how well you can hold a particular position".

Taking the test was an extremely humbling experience. I don't pride myself as a meticulous person who has "fine grained" powers of discrimination...so the comprehension passages were a killer...This is far worse than the SAT...Imagine...all the five options in the answer have an element of truth...but in which option is this element strongest? Which is the best answer? Sometimes, it's really difficult to draw a conclusion...The essay was not easy either...4 of the 5 options were on subjects that I had almost zero knowledge or interest in...Fortunately, the last one was manageable...

Ok...enough about the LNAT...Recently, I've realised that people around me are giving very negative vibes ...I'm not talking about the people in camp...but the other people in my life...I guess it's the stress of the exam period...but I do hope that they can share their problems with me; instead of just lashing out and then hastily apologising.
