haha but really. If anything it'll just help me stay more relaxed the last week.

it just seems like sometimes you make posts demonstrating how YOU did and asking questions about what YOU can do. Then when someone takes the time to answer those questions you respond "I can't do it that way because..." instead of saying "wow that's a really good idea i'll give it a try!" Some of us have a ton of experience from taking it twice previously, and that goes a long way. In MANY cases you'll come to find out experience>knowledge. So when we tell you something, its not like we're saying "we're smarter than you so do it our way." We're saying "we've taken this damn thing twice before, and we don't want to see you go through it." I only thought I'd have to take this thing once. ONCE. Now I'm hear looking at my 3rd take. Don't get cocky.zacboro wrote:I'm just saying I really don't see a situation where I shouldn't take Feb. I'm not on the same track as some of you. Like I'm a student, and I'm not taking a year off. If I can't get a super high score by the time I need to send in apps then so be it. Sometimes it seems as though people obsess over getting that super high score and lose sight of the fact that the LSAT is just an admissions test, like they spend so much time trying to get this amazing score and keep pushing back law school year by year. A high score isn't the end, its the means to an end. I'm not one of those people. I'm not saying anything bad about anyone who is, I find your determination respectable, but we don't share that same drive. And Rigo notice I said "I don't see a situation in which I will need them all" not, as you said, that I won't possibly need all of my takes. I'm not trying to argue with anyone I just don't like to be called naive or condescended upon.

At least I think that's what we're hinting at

The NHL all star game, along with the Pro Bowl and the NBA all star game, has never been worth watching. I'm glad none of the Wings are participating.RaiderRed wrote:In other news, the NHL all-star game is gonna be sick. hopefully
the skills competition in the nhl game was incredibly entertaining. But most all star games (besides mlb because it actually means something) are stupid.. especially the pro bowl.The Abyss wrote:The NHL all star game, along with the Pro Bowl and the NBA all star game, has never been worth watching.

My best PT since I started studying for a retake was the day after I had two glasses of wine with dinner. Coincidence? Probably. Still, team beer and carbs all the way.nlee10 wrote:whelp. I'll be gone all day next sunday for the Super Bowl. Will be sober....just eating a lot.
the thing is, I don't really see you do any of those things you mentioned. When you post here, usually its like "I went -2 today in LR and now I'm BR but i dont want to because I barely got sleep" or "I can't believe I have to make my 16 day study plan" or "I'm not totally pissed I got a 167, but I'm satisfied." I don't really see you providing insights. To put it simpler, it sorta seems like you use this thread to humble brag a lot. I've really tried to go out of my way to give you advice on two separate occasions, and both times you just put it down as if it wasnt good enough. So now when you ask, I don't even respond because I'm like "what's the point?" He's gonna do it his way regardless of what people say.zacboro wrote:Well sorry if it seems that way. I don't mean for it to. And in light of the current discussion, whether to take in Feb or not, I never asked for an opinion. And most other times I do take the advice people give me... Actually I'm very appreciative of the advice people give me, that's the main reason I log in everyday. To see how everyone is doing, ask for help, maybe shed light on something that worked for me, or see if my situation aligns with someone else's situation. I even tried the RC thing where I think to myself "why the fuck is this author acting like he doesn't know what's going on?" thing that was suggested the other day. It just distracted me though during my read. And I screenshotted Shak's BR post, that's how I took/BRed my PT yesterday... I'm just trying to say I do take the advice... maybe it doesn't seem like it but I do.
dude you're doing it again. We arent attacking you. We are genuinely giving you advice. And this quoted post is the perfect example of you saying "screw it. You people don't understand." That's literally the basis of our point.zacboro wrote:I'm not trying for it to be an argument. I was just trying to explain myself. But not that it's necessary for anyone here to understand. So let's just drop it, I don't feel like wasting anymore space being scrutinized.

I love this idea. It's my birthday next weekend, so I feel like giving good LSAT would be the perfect belated present to myself come March.Shakawkaw wrote:Sfogs: think of the LOLSAT as a one night stand. Wear your sexiest lingerie and rock PT74.5's world.
Zac, I like you but I'm with Shak on this one. I think the term naive was used simply because you don't seem to be open to any options other than what you think is best for yourself and because you don't have as much real world experience outside of college. The LSAT is not just an admissions test, it has a significant outcome on the rest of your life if you go to law school. People obsess over getting a good score for many relevant reasons such as not having to go into debt, to go to a school that fits with what they want to do as a career, or to have the best shot at getting a good job when the job market still sucks. I don't know you or what kind of experience you have, I am just basing this off of your posts from the past few weeks. I'm not trying to argue with you at all, I'm just trying to offer some constructive-critism that may help you to become a little more open-minded about things and not as dismissive about good advice that other people give.zacboro wrote:I'm just saying I really don't see a situation where I shouldn't take Feb.
