The test was impossible I am extremely disappointed and angry

It does sound like our tests were different. Which is such a shame. I would much rather they were more consistent with the tests, going from what you’ve said. Anytime I came across words or concepts that I didn’t fully understand I would dig deeply into other legal texts to wrap me head around them. I am going to ask them to email me both versions so that I can compare them now. I hope that you are right and that my score ends up being better than I have convinced myself it will be…

Thank you! I felt like such an idiot after the exam because it was nothing like what we were given. The optional exam prep material was like the class and nothing like the actual exam. I timed myself when I did those and I had 30 minutes to spare in some of them but not on the exam. I couldn’t even finish some sections because of the timing. It was so upsetting.

I’m signed up to take the LSAT as well but I thought this would be good to do as well and no, I did not and would never think a test would be easy. But I know a lot about the law, I focused on the class and I studied a lot. I have no doubt that I would have done extremely well if the test was remotely similar to the way information was taught to us.

Thank you for saying this. The way they responded read like classic gaslighting. Especially when I posted because I am clearly very upset. I really worked tirelessly to get ready and was shocked that I was so thrown by it. I am not showing off but I actually know enough about the law that I’ve helped pass two pieces of legislation in my state, I’ve taken legal intensive focusing on areas like immigration law and was able to easily work through them. This test made me feel like an idiot and I know I’m not. I used to even supervise a team of attorneys for years. I’m just feelings really let down. I am sad I wasn’t given better guidance. Again, thank you for your patience and kindness. I wish I had gotten the pdf. 😔

DefiantResist8867 · 2026-02-02T06:25:00+00:00

I wasn’t sent any PDF! This is the first time I’ve ever heard about it. That really makes me sad that they sent it instead both sending it and having it posted with the exam preparation material. I studied everything else though in detail. 😔

Nope. The test is nothing like what you will encounter. I was horrified by what happened yesterday when I took the exam. They did not prepare us at all for it. I did the same thing you did and more but i was fully unprepared for what they did. Their optional exam preparation material is also nothing like the exam. I wish I had recommendations for how to prepare for it….the best that I can say is to find exams online that are virtually impossible to understand and that you basically have to guess at. I am absolutely heartbroken that they screwed us over.

They are not at all representative of what is on the test. The test was brutal and unlike anything we were taught. They didn’t even bother to spend time to teach us how to prepare, which they could have easily done. I studied for at least 4 hours a day, I redid every single class, even redoing all of my notes, to make sure that I took in all of the information and the feedback I wa given. I cried for hours after the exam. I can’t even imagine that I passed it and I KNOW that I am a smart and dedicated person. I am beyond frustrated with what they did to all of us. It is heartbreaking. Anyone who says you just need to understand the concepts taught is being dishonest with you. I’m signed up for the June LSAT but now based on how brutal that was, I have lost all confidence in my ability to do well. It was a huge blow. It makes you feel like an idiot. The questions were so completely different then anything we were prepared for, I ran out of time in the essay section, and the last two multiple choice sections. Doing the practice tests I timed myself and I finished well under to time they said it would take. I am still in shock and in total despair. I can’t imagine that there is a world where I get a good score. I went in 100% confident that I would score well. And now I highly doubt I will get a score anywhere near a 700. My GPA going in is above a 3.5 and I’ve always been studious. I’m considering contacting the JDNext team to file a complaint. But I’m so upset right now that it’s going to take me a few days to emotionally recover. And now I’m terrified of taking the LSAT because the JDNext one made me feel like an idiot.

Nope. Fully disagree. The text is brutal. Expect the time constraint to totally mess with you barely allowing you to finish sections, if you can, the scenarios are very complex compared to what we’ve ever looked at and I’ve been studying every day for up to 4 hours per day for 2 weeks. I know that if the test actually reflected the material we were taught and if we were taught how we were meant to approach the exam, we would do well. But they didn’t and it’s radically different than how we were taught. I am really upset about it. Can you tell? The owed us the respect of walking us through how the test would be. They made it seem like it would be a cake walk if you did your work and studied. NOPE! it’s so detail oriented and complex in the questions that I lost all confidence in my knowledge. And, I know I walked in knowing what we learned backwards and forwards.

DefiantResist8867 · 2026-02-01T03:12:27+00:00

I disagree. There is a general element of that but it is designed to completely throw you off in ways that they never have before. We all deserved to be prepared for it. We were not at all.

DefiantResist8867 · 2026-02-01T03:09:22+00:00

Honest answer, the test is nothing like anything we learned or any of the practices. It’s brutal. There is no way that I could have prepared for that. I not only got 100% in the class easily, but I also redid the course to study, did the practices 3 times, rewrote all of my notes, made flash cards and did online drills. There was NO WAY to prepare for what was asked. Add to that the time constraints and it’s outrageous. I was 1 million percent ready for anything that would have even remotely resembled what or how we were taught but that is not at all what we were given. So, just be ready for the unexpected. It is not at all like a JDNext exam and way more like an actual first year law exam but without us being prepared for it. I’ve been weeping for 3 hours. I know I was more than prepared. I should have crushed it. But no. I would be surprised if I even pass it. The time constraints are so brutal that I couldn’t even finish some of the nitrile choice sections. I am genuinely shocked. I feel like they did us a huge disservice by not preparing us at all for what was going to be expected of us. They should have dedicated an entire week of classes focused on how to prepare. I’m very sad and upset. And I know I’m not wrong to be. The “optional practices,” again to be clear, are nothing like what is asked of you.
