LSAT

After two attempts (one in December, and one today) I am officially retiring from the world of the LSAT. I would like to share a few of the lasting lessons this lovely test has taught me.

What my LSAT experience has taught me:

-At every LSAT administration, you are thumb printed. If,however, you do not have thumbs, the proctors second choice for prints is the pointer finger followed by middle, ring, and lastly- the pinkie. I asked multiple people this question to be sure. They did not confirm that a double hand amputee could submit an ass print.

-Hooded sweatshirts are prohibited which clearly means they make it easier to cheat on standardized tests, or represent an unfair socioeconomic advantage

-Same goes for mechanical pencils

-The sound of people sharpening old school yellow number two pencils with a hand sharpener is infinitely more obnoxious than the sound of someone clicking a mechanical pencil.

-I am the only person who enjoys a good old reading comprehension passage about prions and mad cow disease, and was able to answer most of the questions without actually reading the passage. Thank you Discovery network! (and my strange obsession with horrific diseases!)

-Your ability or inability to put into order when Abigail, B’nai, Calliope, Dexter , Ernie, Fu, and Garcia baked bread (and whether they baked wheat or rye) positively correlates with your ability to succeed in law school.

-The makers of the LSAT really like the name “Fu”

-Every group of five people must consist of both men and women, with all of their names in alphabetical order, each name being distinctively ethnic.


-Some people can tap their feet for hours without even noticing they’re doing it

-It is uncomfortable to be accompanied to the bathroom by a fifty year old man.

-No matter how many times people say it doesn't matter, you will question yourself when you get three A’s , three B’s, etc. in a row on a scan-tron test.

-Scan-tron sounds like a horrible science fiction movie.
