Possible explanations for why she may be acting this way may include self-serving attributions for her avoidance of studying for the exam (her life is too hectic, studying is inconvenient, she doesn’t have the necessary resources to prepare adequately, etc.); self-handicapping (she doesn’t get into law school because she doesn’t prepare for or take the exam); better-than-average effect (she might tell herself that most people can’t pass the classes required to get this far, let alone study for the exam); projection (she might see other students as being lazier or procrastinating more than herself); symbolic self-completion (she may have amassed symbols of competence such as her undergraduate degree, boast about being a pre-law student or studying for the exam on social media, etc.); and so on. Solutions for how to help her may include focusing on how her actions are self-determined, avoiding boasts about her exam preparations or future identity as a lawyer; reminding her of her positive qualities relating to the test subject, test taking, and her future as a lawyer; creating solutions to exercise control over her studying; and so on.
