The Sun Will Come Out...

{TOMORROW}

To prove my sanity,

Allow my best friend and LSAT companion, Wally Wall, to explain to you, in the "simplest jargon she can summon", WHY the LSAT is awful:

1) It is incompletable to the average student. It is designed so that you inevitably run out of time without finishing. (Rude, I know)

2) Too often you can arguably justify putting A, B, C, D, or E as an answer. Well, that doesn't help eliminate anything..
3) You must analyze EVERY single word. "Should" might be switched with "could" in the following premise and welp..there goes your logic if you miss that.

4) If you were to ask me "what's the opposite of hot?" I would invariantly respond "cold". If the LSAT were to ask me that, I would be incorrect in my response. The answer is: "not hot". Assume anything more, and you're hosed. Sounds easy, yeah. But imagine a string of conditions lasting 8 paragraph-lines long, and having to keep that in mind for each premise, whilst simultaneously deducing the main point, method of argument or resolving a paradox.

Pure Nausea.

5) After testing 5 sections back-to-back (with a break between sections 3 and 4) they make you complete a writing sample. Which isn't even graded. Yeaaah way to suck up 35 MORE minutes of my life, whilst killing even more of my brain cells.

6) They switch from percentages to numbers. Those. Beezys. Love. To. Do. This.

7) They discriminate against mechanical pencils. Initially, I was perturbed. I felt ousted and ostracized. I was THIS close to taking it up with the ACLU.. all hail the Civil Liberty Union!

.....and then we both fell head-over-heels in love with Ticonderogas <3

(insert sappy love song here)

Anyone considering law school and in need of books?..

I have way more than can be humanly healthy. So come get 'em!

Happy Friday!
