All the practice tests in the WORLD don't prepare you for how exhausted you are when you get out of that test. Dude.
This is what I sent to my awesome friend Courtney who also took the LSAT this morning. It's a pretty decent picture of my state of mind at the time.
The order of our tests was totally the same, too. I had to guess on
three questions, from three different sections. Which pretty much
sucked. And OH MAN so foor some reason the games section seemed SO
MUCH HARDER than any of the practice ones I did -- did we have the
same games? For some reason the one that really fucked me up was one
about 7 people who work in a five-story office building? And then I
had this one about birds drinking our of some stupid pool in a park
that for SOME REASON took me like fifteen freaking minutes to figure
out. Which meant that I couldn't go back and finish the office
building one right.
ALSO my study book, which CLAIMS to be the 2006 edition, completely
NEVER MENTIONED THE FACT that there are different FORMATS to the
writing sample; I was expecting the "so and so has to make a choice
between a and b. Which should they pick? and instead I got Here's an
editorial on print media advertising. Can you pick apart their
argument? which threw me for a minute. I do have to say, though, that
the best thing I got out of my IB high school was that I can bullshit
about pretty much any topic there is. So I'm not TOO upset about it.
OH and we had the STUPIDEST PROCTOR EVER -- in one test he told us
time was up and everyone's all !!! and he goes, OOPS I'm SORRY I mean
five minutes! Ha! Sorry. And also he told us NOT to fill out the
part on the answer sheet where you write down your address and then he
collected the sheets and we're all, Wha? and he had to pass them all
back out again. AND ALSO the room was like nine million degrees? So
they had to open this door to the outside which was RIGHT NEXT TO MY
DESK so I fucking FROZE through the whole thing. It was stupid.
But, yeah. That's how it went down. February 27. Gah.
I kind of don't want to make predictions about how I did, because I have a secret fear that I totally bombed it and when I get the score everyone will be like, Hey, I thought you said you did okay or something, and then I'll just feel dopey. But I guess I think I did reasonably well enough to apply to the places I want to go. Which is fine. I don't find out until the 27th, which is totally lame, as I totally require instant gratification and they're totally not giving it to me.
In unrelated news, I'm going on a business trip! On the 25th! To Charleston!
...does anyone know anything fun to do in Charleston? Besides buy some Chew?
