First Step to Law School

This is it! I took the Law Aptitude Exam for UP yesterday morning. I wouldn't say that I prepared well, but I wouldn't say I wasn't ready for it also. I never enrolled in review classes and never memorized stuff. I just bought review materials and practiced answering sample exams so that I can get used to the time pressure and the techniques on how to answer questions quickly.

Yesterday, I evaluated the exam right after. And this is my judgement: If I do pass, I know the reasons why. If I don't, I also know the reason why. During the first half of the exam, I really felt pressured. I feel like I don't have enough time that is why I got tensed answering if the simpler ones. It was overwhelming. I did guessed some of the items because of the time. One thing I realized is that it is bad for me to skip questions. If I do skip questions, I definitely won't be able to answer that questions later on.

During the second half of the exam, I found it easier, since there was Math and Abstract Reasoning. I am pretty sure that when I know my answer is correct, it is correct. I hope!

When I finished the last subsection, General Knowledge, I just observed the entire exam room (Room 110 of Malcolm Hall) and think of all the possibilities that can happen after taking the exam. If I pass, this would probably be one of my classrooms. The proctor could probably be one of my professors (not sure, but I was terrified of her; although, when all of us were going out and one of us asked her a question, she seemed nice). I could be friends with the other exam personnel. I could be friends and blockmates with those other examinees.

After leaving the room, I went straight to my apartment here in Katipunan. I don't know what to feel. I couldn't gauge it. I really need to wait for the results around May. Again, this is my only choice--UP. I did't take exams for other law schools because I really want UP. It's UP or I won't enter law school. If I fail, I'll just take the exam again next year. But I do wish and hope to pass it this year. There may be time to take in the future, but I can't afford to spend another year at work.

Yesterday, I also got a guide for a possible admission interview. I practiced some of the questions. If ever I passed and would be required to have an interview, it would probably be around June.

It's a waiting game, and I'm just dying to know the results. T_T
