What the fuck you gonna say when I'm all like "objection hearsay" and the judge is all like "damn son, truth" and you're talking about the uniform commercial code?

So OP, what's the complaint? That people outside of the LSAT world are too tough on us?

And if it bothers you so much, tell people your percentile. I would say "I got in the 96th percentile" and none of my idiot friends realized my score was actually TTT.

You can even make this more impressive by saying "and that's 96th percentile of people who take the LSAT, who are all college grads and have the motivation to try to go to law school.

I can't lie like that though.

Re: For TLSers who get angry when people trivialize their score
That's funny because I grew up poor with minimal financial support from my parents. I studied my ass off for the LSAT and now I'm looking upward mobility in the face. But you're right, an objective standardized test is just the rich mans way of making sure the poor man has no way of encroaching on his privilege.Nikrall wrote:America has low rates of intergenerational mobility.

Re: For TLSers who get angry when people trivialize their score
Right. A test in which test prep is incredibly expensive and it is fairly impossible to do well without lots of study is a good way of increasing intergenerational mobility.KibblesAndVick wrote:That's funny because I grew up poor with minimal financial support from my parents.
