February 2012 Waiting Thread (NEW POLL!!!1!) Forum

Just curious, how do unique posts correlate with scores?

They don't. But read his posts. The guy was so over the top and pretty entertaining in the process. I was just interested to see what he ended up with.

All of the February's were 3 days early.... Except for 2012 (2 days early because of the alleged snow storm)

Probably with photoshop.

Anyone else realize that the one additional day we get every 4 years happens to fall in between us taking the LSAT, and receiving the score!? Ouch

Anyway, I figured since we're getting seriously close we should make our final predictions. Anyone who guesses their exact score wins LSAT predictions props (no cash value!).

My most realistic prediction is 165, which I hope to be conservative.

Either I get a 170+ or I don't, meaning that it's either..

Longtime lurker checking in. I'll play it safe with my predictions: Monday and 167.
[But I'll be glued to this forum/LSAC's website from Friday morning on just in case...]

theres really no middle ground for me.
If I get a 170+ I will be extremely happy
if I get a 169- I will be extremely upset.

Put it in perspective bro. 169 is a sick score that most people would kill for.

+1 yeah, if there are 130,000 test takers this year, 99% is 1300 people... so 169 or higher around 3000 people total....

Except a 169 isn't 99th percentile...

This is definitely true, but it really depends on the person. If you're PTing significantly higher and end up with that score, it is pretty disappointing, but obviously it's still a good score. Same goes for someone who PTs around 160 but ends up with a 155...it's all about personal goals and expectations. That said, I'm going to put myself in the 169- = disappointed camp. Not to be elitist or anything like that, it's just a personal goal I've set for myself and it would suck to not meet that goal. Also, 169 is 97th...or at least it was in June

i understand that around roughly 600 people will score 170+ for this test. Its not about that, its that I set a goal for myself and wish to meet it. As I'm a Canadian, I don't think my score matters so much.

I'm going to up the ante and go with a 173+ will bring me neverending (maybe a week of) boundless joy, 170-172 is mediocre but acceptable, below 170 is a dark pit of hopelessness.

And 180 = streaking through the nearest major metropolitan area.

[ampersand5]

is it weird that I sort of want to write a practice test right now to see what I got to give me a better idea of how my score will be?

Last 10 PTs were between 167 and 171, with the majority being 168.

Although I felt a little rushed on RC section, I'm gonna say 168.

There were a few PTs where I swore I bombed RC and then had the pleasant surprise of only missing 1-3 when I graded/reviewed. Hopefully the real exam was one of those times.
