During my RC section a woman freaked out threw her test and had to be forced out of the room by the proctor and the helper. Started 3 hours late, so we ended up getting out of there around 8 o clock. 10/10 experience.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and except the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

Basically I guess what I'm trying to say is the LSAT is a tool to get a scholarship, or to get into a cheaper school, or a school that will poise you for big law.

My cousin had trouble getting into a third-tier school because of his LSAT score. With perseverance it happened, and he gained experience at a small practice, before joining a big firm as an associate and making partner.

The LSAT has very little to do with what kind of lawyer you will be (within reason). Once you hit a certain number in the curve you have enough intelligence to get through law school (and I think most people of average intelligence can get through it). There are great law students (who had great LSATs) who are shit lawyers.

dudes I just heard of a crazy thing, it was called like a "joke"! apparently they're supposed to make you feel amused or something, sometimes by lampooning familiar social or linguistic conventions. Idk. Sounds kinda confusing. idk how to differentiate it from trolling, the classic internet pastime.

I've heard of psychotic rambling that is influenced by the delay in receiving one's actual LSAT score. :P

I overheard a girl saying that she never completed a full practice test before the test day. Yikes.

It's ok. So did I. And I lived in that area for 7 years.

First post.

First LSAT take June 8th. PTs were coming in between 163 - 169. Hoping for the higher end of that range or a point or so better.

Nothing funny at the testing center but some time before.

I recently finished an MBA and told my academic adviser I was considering law school. He said that some years ago he wanted to go to law school, took the LSAT, scored a 172, applied to Vanderbilt and was rejected.

Here is where it gets funny. He claimed a 172 was the top score one could get. Said Vanderbilt told him they turned him down because he wasn't URM. He said he got that great score because he used to be in law enforcement. He advised me to study up on criminal justice and legal procedure. "You just have to know that stuff and you will have no problem with the test."

Good thing I know how to use the Internet, read books and think for myself.

Let TLS be your legal advisor. Here's one instance of why they are so ignorant of the field.

If this is true your adviser is dishonest, racist and incompetent, and should probably be retrained/reprimanded/relieved.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
