LSAT Explanation Report

2. Working according to the agreed ways means following the organisation’s policy and procedures in relation to pressure areas. It also means following the individual care plans and respecting the instructions in place. For example making sure a resident is turned every two hours, applying Cavilon cream on areas; fill in turning charts, prompt fluid intake. Under the duty of care a care assistant must always be aware of and raise concerns regarding possible pressure areas. Always record information in care plans accurately and in confidentiality.

I hadn't taken my counselor's heed of organizing more in ODL than I had in public school or my parent's hesitation over the fact that I had so many credits (17), without knowing how difficult ODL would be. Instead, I had brushed them off, believing myself to be smarter and more organized, but I was wrong. I thought and thought I could get good grades, but I wasn't actually doing things that would get good grades such as writing in my planner, not procrastinating, and balancing my time better. In short, I was spending more time believing in myself than actually putting in the time and focusing on my school work. It was a disaster and by the time midterms came around, I was completely stressed. My grades were okay, but nothing like I wanted them to be. I was also tired of producing terrible work in a frantic, rushed manner from procrastinating so

Dan Melzer, a former student at Florida State University, discusses a few approaches to succeeding as a writer in “Understanding Writing Assignments: Tips and Techniques.” Melzer addresses seven methods to do well as a writer; whether that be in school or the workplace. To shortly summarize the tips, Melzer explores ways that students can help themselves by using their resources. Also, by analyzing the questions and instructions that a teacher asks of the class. He goes on to say that it is also important for the writer to figure out who the audience is. This will ultimately determine the writing style. Basically, if the writer is aware of the audience then he/she will execute the writing assignment differently than if he/she were to just make assumptions of who

My freshman and sophomore years of high school my grades did not represent my abilities due to a lot of health issues resulting from 3 different concussions. I spent quite a lot of time unable to go to school and falling behind due to not feeling well from the concussions as well as going to doctor appointments and being in the hospital. At this time it was hard for me to retain information and pay attention due to chronic migraines resulting from the concussions as well as a lack of sleep due to insomnia I had developed as a side effect from the concussions. All of this made my grades not as great as they should have been my first two years of high school and this does not reflect myself as a student. As my junior year began I was able to

During 7th and 8th grade in 2013 - 2014, I was studying for this exam called the SHSAT (Specialized High School Admission Test). I took this test because if I were to do well in this exam, I could possibly go to one of the specialized high schools in the 5 boroughs. These schools were Bronx High School of Science, Brooklyn Latin School, Brooklyn Technical High School, High School for Math, Science and Engineering at City College, High School for American Studies at Lehman College, Queens High School for

In the Fall quarter of 2014 at pierce I was still being introduced to this style of learning and the school setting of Pierce College which was a pretty big turnaround for me seeing as my only previous schooling had been public high school. Along with my unfamiliarness with my academic surroundings I was also beginning my first job and had weekly meetings with a counselor.Needless to say, i put too much on my own plate and wasn't able to keep up with it as much as i had hoped to. I had been visiting a counselor to get help on some issues i had been facing with an Anxiety disorder along with issues in my home life ,which had been keeping me from focusing on many tasks. The anxiety was a major issue for me during fall and winter quarter but has since then improved and taken a back seat and is much less of an issue now. I know that none of these are an excuse for my poor grades but it was a heavy influence on how i handled

Although students may have enough time to prepare for the SAT/ACT, there are many distractions that could prevent the student from getting a good score. The SAT/ACT both require students to answer a load of questions in little time; the student would be more focused on trying to answer all questions rather than getting as many right as they can. One other distraction could be the student’s testing environment. The student may have

I have tried my utmost best in all my courses; both high school and college courses. I made it my responsibility to take challenging classes that are taught by rigorous and strict teachers that will give me an understanding of the real world and college; there will be no exceptions. However, my academic record does not describe my character as a student adequately. For History 102, I was on track to receive an A for the class after the final, but my older brother sadly died, and I could not complete the course. I am going to retake the

I failed AP English. I had missed the second quarter of the school year, almost completely, due to… technical difficulties. I got discharged from the hospital mid-February, and for the remainder of junior year, the majority of my waking thoughts revolved around passing 11th grade. With motivational speeches coming at me from my parents, friends, and teachers, I began to believe I had a chance of passing the year. I did my best, which apparently was not enough. My teacher had picked up on my tremendous amount of effort, and on the last day of school, bumped my grade up to a low D — just enough to pass. I was not exactly about to put my grade on display or anything, but I passed! Technically. This is not one of the underdog-who-succeeded stories. The real success for me was (look away, it’s cliché) realizing my best was enough. I sound disgusting.

In order to become a lawyer in Illinois, as I aspire to be, one must first attend an undergraduate institute to obtain a degree. Next, for formal legal study, one must enter law school to obtain a secondary degree called the Juris Doctor. However, before completing this, one must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) as an entry exam to law school. The LSAT is offered four times throughout the year, and consists of three sections which are: logical reasoning, analytical reasoning, reading comprehension, and a writing sample. Hence, this test predicates how one will perform in law school and often influences the school in which students are accepted. However, upon graduation, one must pass the state bar exam. Even for this examination, there are a few requirements under Rule 704 in the Supreme Court Rules: the person must be of twenty one years of age, be of good moral character to practice law, has satisfactorily completed exams on academic qualifications an responsibility as prescribed by the Board of admissions, and attend a school on the approved list of the American Bar

Generally speaking, the SAT is a one-day test where students are forced to test in specific areas such as math, reading and writing in an allotted time period. An individual’s success cannot be measured by a snapshot of time. Many believe that time does not help reflect a student’s overall performance because there are multiple of variables that can happen throughout the time period and day to that individual. In addition, the SAT testing does not take into account other academic areas that a student may excel in. While a student’s GPA on their transcript can show administrators the student’s strengths and weakness since it reflects an accumulative of four years in high school, thus it is able to better represent a student’s academic

Early in my sophomore year of college, I was involved in a three-car-accident. It resulted in me having a mild concussion and my home life was negatively affected due to the financial and emotional burden of the accident. It also affected my academic career, more specifically my advanced Organic Chemistry course. I managed to obtain a B in the course, and a B+ in the accompanying lab/recitation course. I was encouraged to switch out of honors Organic Chemistry and into a “less stressful” Organic Chemistry course my fellow peers were enrolled in by family members and faculty members. However, my love for chemistry and a challenge steered me away from taking the easy route. I remained in my Organic Chemistry course, despite everyone’s wishes.

To make a long story short, I didn't try hard enough on the ACT. For instance, I didn't study for it outside of a few online practice review sessions. I was too cocky. Regrettably, I knew I was a smart kid, but I didn't put in the time or effort to really succeed in taking the biggest standardized test of my life.

Throughout my educational career, I continuously challenged myself by enrolling in rigorous courses and participating in extracurricular activities. From sports to volunteering, I maintained my GPA and led my community. However, my GPA and test scores did not completely reflect my efforts and determination during my high school journey. Instead, my lower scores successfully reflected my struggles with Trichotillomania (a disorder characterized by the urge of pulling out hair). It was not until after the process of college applications and testing, followed by finals during this fall semester that I became aware of my hair loss in scalp and eyebrows. I recall the overwhelming nervousness during my SAT testing. A couple minutes in, I had begun
