I did mediocre: 166. Def not what I was expecting. I'd been scoring 172-174 on practices. But! One huge thing that I think boned me. I'd been waking up at noon to 2pm and staying up till 5-6am for about two months prior to the test. Then I tried to change my sleep to something normal two days before the test. Suffice to say, I was pretty fucked up and jittery the day of the test due to my erratic sleep. The test itself I didn't find that stressful or anything. I just think I made some mistakes because I wasn't as sharp as I could be. So if there was one tip I could give... Get good sleep a week in advance. That early morning test time is brutal. Also, don't let any experimentals throw you off. The one I had was a logic games section and it was totally gnarly. Luckily, I got another logic games as my 3rd section and realized the first one must have been the experimental. Seriously, the questions were just wonky, like 6 diff types of puzzles mashed into one with all kinds of wtf throw in there. So yeah, if you get one super hard section, don't let it shake you up  . Good luck! | ||

I'm planning to apply for Fall 2013. I'm really undecided about shooting for a T14 school though. I've heard a lot of different opinions from people in the trade. I've also heard a lot of horrible things about big law from people IN big law, so yeah, I'm very iffy on the whole law thing in general haha. I'm really a writer, and just doing the law as a backup plan, so I'm thinking my best bet is to just go to a top 100 school on a full ride, pass the bar, and see what happens job-wise afterwards, without a giant elephant of debt sitting on my face. How bout you? :D | ||
