You really think by missing 5 questions and a game you will get -35 questions? That's what you'd be looking at to hit 155. That means roughly 8 or 9 wrong on each scored section. I doubt it's that bad.
-
What it seems like they're trying to do is to preserve the LSAT as being "cram-proof." That being said, it doesn't seem like they're doing that without preserving some or most of the elements of the older LGs. Even the seemingly familiar newer games…

I always want to come up with some formula for the question types, but every time I do the test spanks me by capitalizing on my formulaic approach. Also, this process you describe sounds like way too many levels of abstraction to handle under the pr…

@Daniel LOL Nah you have to use the handheld during the test.. @Pacifico Haha cute sometimes the blade becomes dull.. you have to apply TENSION to that sucker! At any rate, I feel a lot better with another 3 months to study for October. The only s…

Are you sure law is your forte? I think you may have a talent for literature. Taking up pencils and bubble sheets in arms was beautifully poetic :-) But yeah. The experience of itself was a huge teacher. It's kind of like diving in the pool for the…
-
Oh and I'm also throwing down for an electric pencil sharpener... Fook twisting this little thing around the pencil 100 times and it usually breaks anyway.
-
I'm not sure about X law school, but I know UT uses the highest LSAT you have. So.. cancel-cancel-180 is just as good as 180. The only time when that would matter is if there's someone else with the exact same pattern.. like 170-175-180. But how oft…
-
Yeah man it's probably not going to even be that terrible in retrospect. I think the way they got us was confusing wording. We were all psyched out, and the way they phrased this game just totally confused everything. I can tell you right now I'm go…
-
LOL Sounds like you had the same experience, plus some several-hour period of shock right after. Perhaps you got a "denial" stage. I Went right into the "vomit" stage
-
I know what it's like. The words finally came to me. It feels like getting broken up with and that person convinces you it's your fault. You're sitting there frustrated, angry, worried, sad, etc. all because you wish you could have done it different…
-
Yeah well.. I didn't want to have to hang my hat on the shotgun answer choices. But Let's cross our fingers!
-
They'll email it to you from what I understand, if your e-mail with LSAC is current. Personally, I don't even need to wait a month to see my score. I already know it's not what I want it to be.. so might as well start getting back on the prep band…
-
Yep. We got it. It was funny.
-
(Tosses prep tests in the air) We're in, baby, let's party!
-
Yeah you have a point.. nepotism is never cool, man
-
LOL but.. just.. no.. reading A B C D E literally just made me nauseous.
-
@ashley.. well tis true that law school admissions as a whole are decreasing.. what with the 150k pricetag and the economy and everything. I'm sure UT's not allowing students to work the first year and not having a part time program also isn't helpi…
-
@Legal Babe.. definitely flawed. I am not trying to be a dick, but seriously, you can't really hang your hat on that. Additionally, your particular testing center being empty doesn't do anything.. the curve is based on all like 20,000 test takers.
-
^ This.. I wish I could share in this optimism right now. Maybe like some kind of.. selective.. creative memory tactic. That would be nice
-
@kyle yep.. I think the rationale some people have is that "well.. I'm good at tests. I did well in my undergrad.. let me go see what I can do on the LSAT to boost my admissions somewhere.." little do they know.. it's not like any other test they've…
-
@ashley.. I think it must be mentioned that people tend to exaggerate the LG. We're used to hitting perfect or near-perfect in practice, then on test day if one single game throws us, we think the world has ended. In all honesty, if you are confiden…
-
@ashley.. No joke? Cause several PhD's that I've worked closely with during my MA are in there like swimwear with UT faculty. Now you got me licking my chops
-
Actually, yeah I would delete that..
-
@nicole.hopkins Nice.. I have no problem with the "dalitude." SMU is one of my runner-ups to UT. @blah Yep. I have been having that existential crisis since I left the test center. I ran for an hour.. I've just been trolling every forum that I can…
-
Welp.. finishing on time has never really been an issue for me. I routinely have 5-6 minutes left in LR and LG and RC to go back check my answers. I usually have the most time left in LG practice. On this one, LG had me almost in tears when proctor …
-
For me, RC was a breeze in practice when I just read the passage, light notating, and used my memory to map the passage and even answer some questions right off the bat. This proved to be an abysmal strategy on test day. I was just too hyped up to r…
-
That seems wildly optimistic about the LSAC accepting "patterns" but maybe I'm wrong. And lucky you for grasping this material so quickly.
-
@josephellengar Yea I think the general consensus is that the real Logic Games F'd everyone in the A. But, on a slightly less useful note, the games this round confirm my hypothesis that we need to be studying ALL those weird games from ALL the earl…
-
IDK how your schools go, but my target school (UT) will take the LSAT from October for early admission. I'm like you.. splitter.. GPA blows. Have an MA but it doesn't count for shit. From what I hear, people who have had disasters like that with bub…
-
That's a tough call to make, man. I guess you know better than anyone what happened.. Would you get held back from anything if you re-took in October?
