Did anyone hear anything funny or unusual at the LSAT sitting? One person at mine was taking it cold and claimed her gpa was strong so the LSAT shouldn't matter much. Another person had studied for over a year and claimed she never scored over a 140 but her goal was a 145 so she could get into an unaccredited program. Another person said their logic games strategy was to spend all of their time on sequencing games (the person said games where you place things in order in a row) if they got one because they are the only ones that are even possible to do quickly. She said she would just guess on the rest of the logic games because trying didn't really change the result. Any others out there?

    Oh wow. I may have gone in cold for the SAT and the GRE, but the LSAT? No way. It's hard to.believe that some of these people who aspire to go to Law school haven't done enough research on how to get there.

    @jhaldy10325 Improve that curve a couple more points!

    I believe I have read that the curves are already preset, determined by the experimentals.

    But... I guess it would still be true. All of those people who just decided to take the LSAT cold years ago are helping us now?

    @msami1010493 I can see why they got confused on the writing "sample." Especially if it was referred to as a writing sample and not a writing section.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure the proctor said section, but this was asked of the proctor before we started during the "any questions before we get started portion". Half the room looked terrified and the other half it seemed to relax.

    Oh no doubt @stepharizona288, I wasn't trying to belittle anyone but it just caught me off guard. It actually scared me because I'd hate to study for a year and not improve my low lsat score.

    The funniest thing I heard from someone at my Oct LSAT was....

    "What do mean there are 5 sections?!?!? And what is a writing sample? Can I send that in from home?"

    @476 How do you AIM for an unaccredited school??? Also how do you not go above a 140 after a YEAR OF STUDY?!?!

    Well everyone has different goals. Maybe they started at a 125 so a 140 is a huge gain. I agree, its not a great plan (especially for an unaccredited school), but who knows what has motivated her and her future career goals. Maybe she has no intentions of practicing but needs a JD.I know someone whos goal school was a 100+ ranked school with a 145 average, but she has a guaranteed job because of family connections. She just has to get degree. We are all different with different goals & abilities.

UM WHAT?!?!?! How do you AIM for an unaccredited school??? Also how do you not go above a 140 after a YEAR OF STUDY?!?! Holy crap your post just gave an interesting twist to my morning loool
