The lawyer response is, "it depends!" Each person is different. I thought the prep was okay, but I struggled with the legal writing and research. My roommate really struggled with the testing, but aced the writing part. All of us struggle with employment at times in our life. It's going to depend on your own individual circumstances. The entire process is designed to be difficult, but doable, if you are capable. Your best bet is to develop good study habits now, practice for the tests, draft your entry essay early, and once you're in, ask for help early and often, develop a network of peers to assist as you study, and be ready to work hard and read a lot!

The hardest parts of becoming a lawyer are graduating from law school near the top of your class and passing the bar examination on your first attempt.
