Does anyone recall a TLS policy about getting banned for posting test questions?.

[MediocreAtBest]

Now that I'm finally done with the LSAT, I'm gonna read the autobiography of Malcolm X, finish Dirty Wars, and maybe read some Nietzsche for pretentious purposes.

I was planning to read some Nietzsche this summer too! I'm a philosophy major but I feel like I haven't had enough exposure to Nietzsche during my time in undergrad. I've had a couple of books in my cart on Amazon for a while now.

Unfortunately, yesterday I was feeling nostalgic and bought the Sims 4 because it was 50% off and now I'm unsure if I'll manage to do much of anything this summer

I've had "Beyond Good and Evil" next to my bed for about 4 months, haven't touched it haha. I go through phases where I read a lot then phases where reading seems like such a task. Waiting to get our scores back before I commit to any books, though.

Does anyone recall a question

I had this exact same section pattern and remember the question. A little upset that the LR section I thought I did best on was experimental, but my first section is usually my worst according to prep, so maybe this was for the best.

Also this confused me when others said "the 26 question LR was real" because this first LR section was also 26 questions, but I think the second LR in LR/RC/LR/LG/LR was the real one.

Does anyone recall a

If your section pattern for the test was LR RC LR LG LR, the first LR was experimental.

At the point where the score I think I got is dropping every day

Me too. I was pretty confident with LG and now I'm doubting it more and more. It's like, did I circle them correctly? Did I somehow miss a rule and got a game all wrong? What if I chose e and blackened d? And on and on. For LR2, will definitely get at least 2 wrong because I left them blank, and now I start doubting not only the harder questions (abuse of power, those "identify the role" questions, etc), but also the more doable questions. LR2 was my hell--really wished the experimental LR was the real LR. Can't remember much about LR1, so now starting to doubt that one too. For RC, 2-3 questions that I likely got wrong, and now I'm wondering if I misread something and got the rest wrong.

I think I should just bite the bullet and register for September at this point before the seats in the area are filled up.

Why did you leave 2 blank?????

Random: what are people's thoughts on investment banking?

Did 2 IB front-office internships in 2 bulge-brackets. It's exciting. Hours are brutal though (as expected).

Is it anything like Billions? In my mind (I know it's wrong), biglaw is still just like Suits. I'm hoping my vision of IB isn't ruined as well.

Um, didn't watch either of them so IDK. I never moved or tried the buy-side, so my knowledge is pretty limited.

I left 2 blanks because I'm an idiot

The reason I actually asked is because I just finished season 3 of suits, where Mike becomes an iBanker, lol (my god has this show gotten awful as it's progressed). I realize it's television and so you must take it with a grain of salt, but iBanking does seem to be badass. I browsed on Wall Street Oasis for a few minutes, and as presumptuous it may sound, the consensus seems to be that the "the bankers own the lawyers" lol. It is indeed true most transitions are probably from law -> banking and not vis a vis.

Oh gosh. If anyone here hears that you might be taking anything from Suits as truthful, prepare to be executed

I go into suits readily aware that what I'm about to watch is ridiculous. I can hardly bring myself to watch it anymore.

I'm kind of surprised at how many people have asked me if the LSAT is hard. Like a couple of my friends who know I've been studying since January asked me if it was hard. And I don't know why they think that it might be easy anyway.

Same :/ There's no section I feel I really fucked up for sure, but there's none I feel very confident about either.

[Mint-Berry_Crunch]

I don't get why anyone would think a standardized test is easy (except for the cahsee lol) but most aren't DOWSING FOR 180s

Exactly how I feel (aside from LG). That RC was pretty tough, there were a handful of tricky LR questions that I'm just unsure about so I'm thinking I overestimated my initial performance. I said 174 but I'm feeling more like 170 and a retake now

You have no idea how happy I was to see that as the science passage. I already knew what dowsing was (thanks mom for teaching me about it when I was a kid for no apparent reason), so that passage was super comfortable/familiar. I think the hardest part about that one for most people was just how weird of a concept dowsing is. Who tf thinks you can actually find water by walking around with a pointy stick and then jabbing it into the earth

I lost count of the times people said, "But it's like memorizing vocabs right? Do you have to memorize law textbooks too?"
Friends with well intention said, "It's just a test. They aren't going to punish your app even if the score is low."

Bruh -_-

MBC, do you still have the data from the first "how do you think you did" poll?

Would be interesting to put another one of those up there later this week and see how the numbers have changed on predictions

I think I mouthed "what the fuck" at least 3 times during that passage lol.

[Walliums]

Trying to restrain myself from quoting that mod edit... found it much funnier than I probably should have but i'm delirious from panicking about how low my score might be.

Hanging in there, tripling the amount of time i spend on TLS now that I'm not studying. Stressing out. Mostly stressing out and trying to tell myself that my score is fine.

Weird, I learned about this in some history class I think in relation to the Homestead Act and discussion of the Dust Bowl... I thought this was part of history class in general for everyone until some of you were like THAT'S FO REAL? I feel like it was also in Huckleberry Finn which was required reading for one of our English classes in my school...

My best buds and I just bought flight tickets for Japan for New Years, so my day's pretty good as long as I don't think about the LSAT.
