Most Strongly Supported LSAT Blogs

Now that I’ve returned to my vices I can write this with a clear head. Wow. That felt good. The anticipation of taking the LSAT has been part of my every day life for the past 4 months or so. It seemed like only yesterday I was sitting on my friend’s couch playing Madden, the air as hazy as our minds, when I realized that life was fast passing me by. So I did it. I cleared my schedule and dedicated myself to studying for the LSAT once again.

4 months and 0 games of Madden later the big day arrived, conveniently, the day after the Super Bowl. As a Sabbath observer, my exam was on a Monday instead of Saturday. This was going to be a retake for me. I took the June 06 LSAT almost 4 years ago. Although it was also a Monday exam, the conditions of the exams were drastically different. In 2006, I took the LSAT in San Francisco in some ballroom with somewhere between 300 and 1000 people. I remember the moment after the proctor said, “You may begin Section 1 of the examination”, it was like the thousand test pamphlets opened in unison creating a sound like a wave crashing on the beach. Panic. I abandoned the methods I was taught and just fought to stay in the game despite my overwhelming nerves.

It’s time once again for the post-LSAT Blarnival. While the February LSAT has the fewest test-takers of any of the four administrations of the test, there was still some reaction throughout the blogosphere to the most mysterious of all LSAT administrations.

Seemie Now took the test on Saturday and cautions against assuming a section is experimental simply because it is easy. Seemie is holding out hope that cancellations on the eastern seaboard positively affect the curve, on the assumption that that is where all the geniuses live.

Apparently Georgetown students weren’t lucky enough to get their LSAT administration cancelled. Despite a foot of snow, the Hoyas had to march in and take the test.

Disclaimer I:
Apparently, LSAC regulations dictate that I refrain from dispelling any details regarding Saturday’s hateful exam (crazy, right?), so I am limiting my discussion to generalities and I would advise those who post, if and when you do, to follow suit and do the same.

The Morning Before

For me, getting through the morning before the LSAT was the worst part of the exam. For those taking the LSAT in Pasadena, CA the weather decided to match the excitement and so it rained cats and dogs. Seriously, I could barely see the car in front of me swerving through the 110 freeway. And of course, since it was the day of the LSAT—the exam that made you give up dieting, facebooking, quitting smoking, The Big Bang Theory (or whatever inferior show it is that you watch); the exam that determines the rest of your life—everything felt personal, and a small part of me (maybe a big part of me) wanted to accidentally intentionally ram my Toyota into the side of the road and have an awesome excuse for missing the LSAT that I’d describe as a great tragedy in my addendum. Though I managed to squish the urge and arrive at the test center safe and sound, the raindrops felt uncannily like hail as I walked in, and everyone I saw looked infinitely smarter and taller, better looking and better prepared than me. By this time, I had to face the fact that I was nervous as hell and tell myself to get an effing grip.
