Truth.

I took the LSAT twice. Based on my circumstances at the time I was eligible to take it twice for free, so I signed up to do it twice.

First time, I was anxious as hell and made myself so sick I almost missed the test. But, I still did well enough to get accepted to law school with a 65% scholarship.

Second time, I took it because I could, knew what to expect, and didn't care about the outcome. Ended up scoring high enough to bump my scholarship to 85%.
