Feb Waiters: is TODAY the DAY? [New Poll] Forum

[andy261]

157 --> 164 --> 172! I'm still in shock! It all seems so damn unreal.

Congrats!!!!! I'm so happy for you!

Damn impressive.

OMG CONGRATS!!!! Glad to see your retakes pay off so much for you!!!!! You need to post your story every time a 157 3.7 posts in CHOOSING A LAW SCHOOL Forum about a retake being NOT AN OPTION.

It's always fun to watch these threads on release day and know the majority of you falsify your score. 99% of test takers score below 170 yet almost all of you claim to be in that range. Since I am not fortunate enough to be in the 170s, please explain the flaw in my reasoning.

Dunno how you couldn't crack the 170s with those logic skills.

The 170+ are more likely to post. Also 170 was only 97th percentile oddly enough this test, and is usually 98th FYI.

TLS is an unrepresentative sampling of test takers.

157.
No prep whatsoever.
1st time taking the test.

<- Fails at life.

For people who have taken the test without any prep and then with some prep, is the increase in score worthwhile?

TITC attitude. Almost always worthwhile. Join us in the June thread, brother. http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... 6&t=198695

TITC? I'll definitely consider it if the gains are as substantial as y'all are saying.

For the love of god YES. If you got a 157 with no prep you are more than capable of scoring 170+ after prepping hard for a few months.

Whoa.

170 was 98th for a long time, but it's been slowly declining in recent years. It was 97.2% in October fwiw.

i'm saddened by the unsupportive nature of so many people on these forums. not everyone wants to, needs to, or can go to a T14 school for law. if the guy (who scored a 144) is proud of what he has accomplished, and is happy going to the school that he has chosen, who are you to bash him?

not everyone believes that working as a top corporate lawyer validates their worth as a human being. some people will be completely content living modestly and working as a small-town lawyer.

not everyone wants what you want, and who are you to judge them for that?

This forum is filled with elitist assholes who don't understand how the world works. That's all.

Well....the website is called "Top-Law-Schools.com". I'm not advocating anyones behavior but what do you expect.

this is the credited attitude. you are the perfect and noble example of a justified retaker. this test is very learnable

Interesting, didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. Damn effective TLS helping all these retakers get 170+.

Same thing happened to me. By the time I took it the fourth time I had a bit of a "eh whatever this again" attitude which I actually think calmed me down.

Well I had 3 LR sections and my first section was LR and because of nerves I think i bombed that section, was praying it was the experimental, but i guess not

Rad! I'll probably sign up for the June test over spring break and hopefully have time to prepare along with my 18 credit course load.

Thanks!

Triple LR? What a nightmare.

So you mega-bombed that section, say -10. What's a 158, like 20 wrong?
