Ask a guy who took the LSAT 7 times and now going to a T14 Forum

[thecilent]

I was going through some personal struggles. But let's face it. The LSAT is a beast of its own. Not everyone is capable of getting a 170+ and it's reserved for the top 1% for a reason. I really had to dig deep and make some serious decisions to keep going until I got the score I believed I could get.

Pretty sure you are kinda contradicting yourself... if anything, you prove that a 170 is not 'reserved' for anyone.

170 is possible for anyone (minus obvious exceptions like mental retardation etc). Some have face more difficulties than others depending on their circumstances. If you really want it, you can get it.

So then how can you say 'not everyone is capable of getting a 170?'

Are you worried that you won't be as smart as your peers?

No, because they are not.

The majority of your class probably took 5 PTs and that was that. Good luck though. Your perseverance may more than make up it.

Do you think you are cool?

total dick, isn't he? he's convinced himself that it is his superior intellect, and not his effective preparation and better access to information that got him into his T14 (with a subpar GPA, I might add).

If that, most people probably cold diagnostic'd above his first score.

What was your mindset when you were takng so many LSATs? Did you hit a plateau and try to push through it? Or did you never hit a peak and just decide to keep going?

Try to understand my layman explanation contradiction in layman contradiction terms.

Ok.

Even if that's true, what does that mean? It just means they scored 170+s after 5 PTs.

I wouldn't assume anything beyond that.

It means they didn't take 2.5 years to get to their score. It means they will probably have an easier time understanding the material. It means you should not brag about taking the LSAT 7 times to get a 171.

Double posted by accident. I'll add this: you kinda suck.

Don't worry guys he'll be totally ready for law school by semester 7.

Hahaha. Thread title in 9 years. "Ask a guy who took the Bar 7 times and now a paralegal at Skadden"

Are you worried about passing the bar?

Meh. The bar doesn't seem that difficult to pass. People at T3s and T4s manage to, and they don't even manage to improve their LSAT before applying.

Way to ruin the fun, ATL.

What you have in bold her is really not true. The obvious logical fallacy is to assume that because you achieved that score through persistence that any other person could also. I know plenty of people who couldn't score 155 on the LSAT if they studied for years. They're just not smart enough. Same is true for 170+, though much more so.

Sorry. I just can't help pointing out the obvious.

Obvious things tend to not need the pointing..........
