Also, I wouldn't retake, but it seems odd they penalize existing customers with a late registration fee by place the score release after the Dec. deadline.
Just wait until you get your score to submit. There's no advantage to submitting now compared to 3 weeks from now.

Thanks, I'm mostly done. Just ready to actually be done.

I think I would continue to do policy work and maybe get a masters at some point.

Finance/consulting

I'd probably do non-profit/gov't work.

I loved my sociology classes and thought about getting my PhD in Sociology but I think its hard to do much else with it besides teach and I don't want to teach

I decided to get my MPA because I wanted to work for government in some capacity, so I'd just keep pursuing that path if I didn't go to law school.

Great job OP! Keep it up. Your approval raising is rising.

Anyone take the test at JFK University in Pleasant Hill?

I planned to take Dec there but am now reconsidering due to of many complaints about the TC at JFKU.
the test takers were seated too close on desks with several test takers on each desk. there were barely any inches separating test takers, which is distracting due to sound of writing, erasing, breathing etc of next person.

I'd go back to Capitol Hill, which is really my eventual intention anyways.
Mind if I ask what you were doing on Capitol Hill?
Just interning for a Congressman over the summer. I'm pretty sure I want to end up in DC in one way or another.

Must have been a great experience. Honestly a bit jealous I never went for it myself.

Gonna be really upset with myself if I missed out on points on that game because I didn't take the time to seriously consider splitting (I thought I was going to end up with way too many gameboards on test day).

If I rewrite I will now always at least attempt a split on the slightest of restrictions. I regret this so much.

I would probably have started in real estate right out of college. After a couple years of practicing law, planning on eventually doing real estate anyways.
PS: don't quote me.

already very dubious of a generous curve for this test
What makes you say that?

Because the test wasn't really hard, at least not for a test in the 70s. I'm in agreement with gamer. I am thinking a -8/9 curve. To be fair, that was from my experience and I didn't really struggle with game 3 at all, so maybe it is a more generous curve.

Just to be the counter to make you feel a little more optimistic splitter, mist and gamerish have been the main two predictors of the low curve throughout the thread. LOL I personally think it will be -11 since game 3 of October seemed harder than game 4 of June plus 101.
