me too. I feel like a lot of people would get nervous/anxious but I don't really feel anything. Rather than feeling nervous, I feel like "ugh, another PT, alright." lol

My only problem is I don't get to score it right after. The wait will be more annoying than the actual test.

I'm still here! I'm a really late sleeper usually, so I'll probably turn in at around 11. Just came back from a long and hopefully exhausting run so that I can actually fall asleep then, ahaha.
Haha that's good. I worked out extra hard this morning so I'm pretty tired already. TC is only a 15 min drive on a Saturday morning and in a familiar neighborhood (took my BP course down the street lmao).

Mines literally less than half a mile. Lol

Yeah that it is annoying but we have the waiterz so I'm looking forward to that.

On the MCATs they do the essay grade separately and you get your "estimated" score right away. The problem is that the LSATs aren't computerized. If they were like the MCAT or GRE then they could get you an immediate score before you even leave the test center. It could end up changing based on questions being wrong or something like that, but usually you would have your score.

my theory is that they have the delay to allow takers to challenge questions

I have taken the LSAT once and have read exactly two essay prompts to date. Looking forward to reading my third tomorrow.

I kind of wish the writing sample was graded, tbh. I am so much better at writing-based tests than multiple-choice. The SAT was like that too. I killed at verbal and writing and then died on math.

There was no writing portion when I took the SAT. When did that get added?

I took it 6 or so years ago and I think it had been around for like 4 or 5 years at that point.

Well, I feel kind of old now. I took in the fall of 2002.

I took the ACT and the SAT in 2004 and there was no writing portion. But I know it got added to both in early 2005 because they were telling us we were going to be the last graduating class to take those tests before the changes. I've heard that they are changing the SAT again and this time the score for the writing section will be separate from the score of the main test. Also the writing portion will become optional. Personally I think the new changes sound good.

I must be about two years younger than you. I often feel old as well, though sometimes I still feel like a kid. :p

I often have to look up acronyms because there are so many new ones. When I was a teen there were only a handful and mostly it was gamers who used them. It was usually called leet speak.

Also I remember when everyone one used dial up and Windows 95. Alta Vista was the search engine of choice. And the computer was mainly used for playing Carmen Sandiego and using Encyclopedia Britannica.

I had a computer in my house at an early age because my father has been a computer programer since 1979. Plus my elementary school had us start using computers in 1st grade which for me was 1993 - 1994. In first grade we mostly just played the educational game Word Rescue which I have fond memories of.

Anyone have similar childhood computer memories or am I just old?

I can't tell if you are Rigo just being Rigo or if you've had too much fun celebrating your last day of alcohol for awhile?

Maybe some sort of middle ground?

Also I had to look up what that mean't in hebrew since I didn't know. It's a sweet sentiment inspite of the go fuck yourself part!

EvergreenStateLady · Post by **EvergreenStateLady** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 3:51 am

Good night anyone still awake. I am not testing tomorrow but I am heading to the testing center with the person I know and I'm going to hang around downtown tomorrow waiting for them to finish the test. I found a free art museum near by that I may visit while I wait. Main point is I should get to bed since I need to wake up early. :p

Good luck everyone! I know you'll all get a 180 because like Prof Trelawney I'm a master of divination.

Also I saw the grim; one of you will die a mysterious death tomorrow but I'm not saying who or how. Just know this beware of the one-legged goose at midday. And stay away from sagebrush near a meandering brook.

Good luck and sweet dreams! ^_^
