How's everyone doing this post LSAT morning

I feel better about it than I did last night. I still don't think I did as well as I had hoped, but don't think I outright combed it.

Also, I realized I've already been accepted and while a little extra scholly money would be nice that not everything was riding on this one score.

When a school makes a decision do they email you or do you have to just continuously check the status updater website things

Some email...some send snail mail...I've had 2 call me. I don't think I checked the status checker once since my apps went complete

Hey I just realized.. do the Sabbath observers who take the LSAT on Tuesday get a different exam? Because if not, they have a serious advantage in getting info from these boards..

Oh well, just one more way the LSAT gives unfair advantages, like to whoever can fork over the most $$ for expensive prep programs... or luck of the draw in getting an easier experimental version of the test instead of getting the insanely hard RC at the very end when you're the most tired.

BTW, I can understand the LR and RC being relevant to law school, but WTF about the LG? So stupid. Just seems to just be a measure of whoever spent the most time/$$$$ on test prep.

I didn't spend any money on classes & I mastered logic games. To me, it makes sense why they're on there. It tests your ability to make important inferences without fabricating details. I can see how that ability would be important as a lawyer

LSAT measures 10% IQ and 90% Socioeconomic standing

LSAT measures 10% IQ and 90% Socioeconomic standing

Actually the LSAT measures reading comprehension, logical reasoning, and analytical reasoning.

Yes, it will be a different test than we took yesterday. Although as I understand it, there's a chance that it was given as a previously nondisclosed test, the reason for the February administration being nondisclosed is so that LSAC has a pool of tests available for sabbath observers, international, emergencies such as the UCSB lost tests in December, etc.

riiiiiiiigggghhhhtttt

riiiiiiiigggghhhhtttt

If it measures socioeconomic standing it's a total failure for me at least.

Grew up in a single parent household with my mom only making 19,000/year.




That's not to say those with more money don't have an advantage, but money is neither sufficient or necessary for doing well.

So all day yesterday I felt horrible about my performance on the test....and now today I'm thinking I was just being dramatic because I was only remembering the hardest questions...so I'm like, oh I probably still did good. Still a chance I got those hard questions correct......but which mood do I believe?! Did I actually do ok? Or did I get a 130? The waiting is the WORST part

Abbey! You most certainly didn't get a 130!!!

I'd go with whichever mood had the most evidence behind it. Just look at your practice test average. That's the best predictor.

LG is a Joke. It tests your ability to do nonsense under time pressure. In no way does this measure any real world law school or law practice scenario. I hear people with autism do especially well on these games. So good, at least it gives a disadvantaged group a leg up. Other than that, it's bogus.That's why the GRE got rid of these games years ago.

Either way, they make the test a bit of fun for 35 minutes

you just sound upset because you couldn't do well on them lol....they're the most easily-improved section of the test. And once you understand them, they become easy points. Maybe they're testing your discipline and willingness to understand something. And if you're that upset about them, maybe you need to up your studying haha
