Am I the only one who stared at the essay for 10 minutes pondering the meaning of life

Pretty sure I spent 10 minutes shaking my hand and making a fist to try and get rid of the massive hand cramp I was getting after 5 sections and not writing that much/fast by hand in 11+ years...

I was all about the toll roads. There simply was no other way.

Friend and foe markings for users are going to be determined based on this choice for those that took June, assuming its all the same question...

Not like it matters but are there actually different writing section stimuli for each test?

Also #TeamTollRoads

I don't know how I'm going to wait three weeks for my results. I could have either scored a 165 or a 173 based on the reading comp. Dear god.

I just want to say I am not ashamed that when I was told by someone in my section that I "looked smart" I replied "Well, yes, you can judge a book by its cover."

But I hope the guy who said that is on TLS because I throughly enjoyed our salty banter

dear god i hope you didn't actually say that. I'd punch someone if they said something like that

ETA: If it was in jest then I can appreciate the joke and would not have thrown hands.

Carry on then good sir! I wish I had been there for the context. If delivered as you say, I would have gotten a kick out of it

It was v funny.

I also think the guy who said it to me was hitting on me a little bit? So I don't really mind in those situations playing the cheeky asshole.

Support. If you're going to hit on me at the LSAT I will want to know your score, goal school, and what you want to specialize in if you're serious...

Man, I love torturing myself on myLSN seeing that with my GPA my chances at Columbia dip from 75% to 0% with a 170 vs a 169

Why is the 170 floor such a thing for the top schools? Like why is the difference between 169/170 is so much different from 170/171?

I think it's probably the same reason we're all like "OMG WHEN AM I GOING TO BREAK THE 170 BARRIER".

I was thinking the same thing. The schools care, because people like us religiously check these things and GASP at even a 1 point drop in median LSAT scores.

The more sleuthing I do on the internet (Reddit), the harder it is for me to tell if I'm actually smart or if I fell for every trap answer. Part of me is like, well these people are probably idiots, who's to say if they got the right answer, maybe I'm actually the smart one and they're all wrong. I was praying for an easy LR, but now that I think the LR was ridiculously easy, I'm not so sure. Trying to get all the bitching/self loathing/self doubt out before midnight. Can't swallow in self pity for forever.

Idk. Maybe he's drinking Bowman's Rum or something. "Swallow in self pity" is an accurate description of most of my Friday nights.

There's an obvious trend that when LG is easy, there is a more difficult LR and/or RC. If the consensus is correct that today's LG was easy (though I think it was harder than some purport) I would venture to guess a good amount of that was pushed into the LR difficulty, which was the opposite of what occurred on prep test 80. The RC difficulty on this June test has been overhyped thus far.

LR was not ridiculously easy, not even slightly.

I slightly disagree. usually they'll have an easy, medium and hard section. I think RC fit the bill for the hard section - LR was right around the middle. Some tough questions, sure but nothing crazy.
