I haven't even started mine yet. I sincerely doubt he is done by now.

you and your crazy china time mona, it's in 3 hours ^_^ !

I'm going to take the LSAT next year. I already graduated from my uni but I am taking time off. I think 3 months of studying is plenty.
|
1 more hour, woot. Ok, time to go head over to the place. Like a boss ~_~!

You should be about halfway done by now...
How goes it?
|
It went well for me. No clue what happened to Xeris though. Maybe he went on a day long drinking party after the exam. if that's the case, hopefully it's because the exam went well.

Not too good (I think). I have a problem with exams... basically:
section 1: reading - raped that shit section 2: logic reasoning - raped it section 3: games - did 3/4 of the games, pretty confident, but ran out of time and guessed D on the last one
-- break --
At this point, I was like "ok, I hope the games section was experimental so I can have another chance at a games section to do better..."
section 4: logic reasoning 2 - much more difficult than the 1st one, but I didn't feel too bad, nervousness appears for the first time
Then I'm like, "ok games next, TIME FOR REVENGEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
section 5: reading (*FUCKKKK*) - not only was it REALLY difficult, but that means the first reading that I felt great about was experimental and doesn't count. at this point, I literally made myself sick and almost threw up and had started having back cramps, basically I fucked section 5 up really bad.
Really, if one of the first 3 sections is experimental (which I've heard is the case), I'm fucked. It sucks because everything hinged on the final section. I went from possibly acing 3 of the 4 sections, to fucking up 2 of the 4, all because of that second reading one.
So ya, I know I won't get the score I want, so I'm considering cancelling it. Thoughts? I have 5 more days to decide.
|
hmm, I wrote my LSAT about a year ago, and remember feeling that one section was a lot harder than the rest (I thought I fucked up but ended up doing a lot better than I thought), are you sure that it's not section 5 that's experimental? (ie maybe the hard one is usually the experimental section)
I don't remember hearing that the experimental section of the LSAT has to be located in a particular part of the test, but I could be wrong (are you sure your information is reliable in this case?).
|
Yeah, if you *know* you did poorly you're probably better off just cancelling it, since if it really is bad you're pretty much screwed... not like you can just have them look at your highest score. I just took the Foreign Service Officer's Test yesterday and compared to what the LSAT seems like, it was ridiculously easy. Not that I aced it ^_^;
|
Another thing to add:
I was also considering whether if I should retake my LSAT after I wrote it, the primary question simply had to be: If you do decide to re-do it, how confident are you that you will do noticably better in your next attempt? and I guess the only way to judge this non-subjectively (and it's still not all that objective) is to look at your practice results and think about whether if you have hit your ceiling or not... and maybe also whether if you will be able to use your experience from this attempt in a meaningful way next time.
Empirically at least, it does seem that people on average tend to do a bit better on their second try (by about a couple of points on the 180 scale). So that's also something to think about.

Same here. How do you know it's one of the first three?
Based on the practice exams I've done, it seems like there are always two logical reasoning sections. Therefore, I also concluded that one of the reading sections isn't scored. However, I don't think we can assume it's the fifth and not the first.

yea, so I am correct.. boo :p
|
Have you decided to cancel? I dunno what your expectations are and what exactly you need to get... so I dunno. I wouldn't be comfortable just winging it but thats just me.
|
if you aren't striving for HYS, don't retake.
|
Although if you're aiming for t14, and you believe you could do better for the October test, you should probably cancel and retake.
