I'll just say it: the time limit is destroying me. 
I sit down for my LSAT argumentative writing practice, and for the first 10 minutes, I'm golden—outlining, brainstorming, feeling pretty good. Then I look at the clock, realize I'm only 1/3 of the way through the time with barely a paragraph written, and my brain just... leaves the building. 
I know the argument itself matters most, but if I can't get it down on the page in time, what's the point? My study group keeps saying "just practice more," but I feel like I'm practicing the same bad habits over and over. It's getting discouraging. For those who've conquered the time crunch: What's your actual, minute-by-minute breakdown? How long do you spend outlining versus writing versus revising? Do you write the introduction first or save it for the end? I need a SYSTEM, not just encouragement (though I'll take that too!). Help a struggling future lawyer out!
