You Go Girl! I’m sure you did great. If you don’t let us know how it turned out, I’ll have to put this in my next request for updates thread. So keep us posted, k? And good luck!
Yes, and then in a subsequent post, he spelled “support” with two "t"s and stuck a “4” in the middle of “credit”.
Drain Bead–congrats! I’m sure you did well, and we all want to hear what happens next.
(I, as a paralegal, really have to make a point of sucking up to any potential attorneys because they might end up as a summer associate or associate at my current firm and kick my ass! :eek: )
Congratulations! Now go out and enjoy yourself, you earned it!
Way to go, Libby.
My son’s going to Law School. When he becomes a big-ass Corporate Lawyer I can retire.
Oh, wait, a lawyer is going to support me? What was I thinking?
Ah, yes… starring my favorite, the Fertile Octagenerian!
Congrats on the LSAT, Libby - and sympathies for what lies ahead!

Condolences.
You still have time to change your mind and do something interesting. Just wait til you get to law school and get to spend all your time with future lawyers - an exciting bunch, believe me! The practice of law wouldn’t be all that bad if not for all the other lawyers. Oh yeah, and clients, too.
Sorry to be a wet blanket. But I don’t remember law school as being a laugh riot, and the practice of law is just a job. Not outrageously fulfilling. Whatever type of law you envision practicing, someone has to hire you to do it. Law school has very little to do with the practice of law. And I know lots of law school grads who work really really hard for not all that much money, and many more who make lots of money, but also work really really long hours I would not want to give up.
There’s no doubt you blew the test away, tho. Suggestion, try to avoid running up too much debt in law school, or that will seriously cramp your style when you get out. Hard to avoid whoring yourself if you owe $100G.
Congrats Libby-dibby-doodle all the day! I’m glad you think you aced the test… You’re 10 pounds of funky in a 5 pound bag my dear!
Wow!! That is great, Drain! I mean it is hard to even get yourself ready to take the test! That takes so much work and studying and I think you have done great just to get to this stage. Congratulations!! And I hope YOU are happy with your results!!
Way to go, Drain! As for the ‘bloodsucking parasite’ comments (Flyp), I’m sure you will only use your legal superpowers for good, not evil.
Congratulations, Drain!!! I’m really happy for you!
Sigh. All the good invective is already taken. So let me just say:
Congrats, Drain!
Just for the record, Drain hopes to go into Child Advocacy law - adoptions and the like. She wants to make a positive difference in her life.
What the hell did I do to deserve her, I’ll never know, but I think God every day she i with me.
Honey, when you read this, please know that I love you very much!

Sorry I’m so late with the Congrats, Libby. I’ve been pulling for you, and just knew you would ace it! Have fun with Brian, and get lots of rest. 
I mean, lots of loving!
I just crawled online and saw this thread. Y’all rock–especially you, Brian. And of course I’ll share my results as soon as I get them. I have a good feeling about how it went.
Hell, I might as well tell the whole story. The morning of the test, I woke up terrified at 7:00. Test didn’t even start until 1:00, so I ended up spending most of the morning packing, trying to eat, and talking to my stepfather and my friend Chrissie. When I got to the testing center, I was pretty much calmed down. I just sat around and read my book (Sophie’s World–a pretty good novel/philosophy textbook that kept my mind sharp) and waited to be called in. I had a seat with a window right at my back, which worked well. I love natural sunlight, but if I had been next to the window, it would have been way too distracting. By the time they passed out the test, I felt pretty calm.
And then I opened it to the first section. Logic games. NOT a good section to start off with. And the very first problem was a stumper. I looked at it for about a minute, skipped it, did the rest of the section, and when my brain was properly in gear, went back to that first one and got it. The rest of the section wasn’t at all bad. I finished it with about 30 seconds left. Cutting it close, I know, but I am relatively certain I didn’t miss many. I’ve gotten it to where I miss no more than 3 or 4 per games section, and I have done as well as missing none at all in practice.
Next section was logical reasoning, which was the hardest for me. I’ve been struggling with it for weeks. And then, while taking the test, it just seemed as if something clicked. I was getting more of them straight off than I usually do. Even when I had to narrow it down to one of two, I was always confident I was making the right choice. Very few of the questions made me go “huh?” which was much better than it had been in practice. After finishing that section with about 8 minutes to spare, I kicked back and relaxed. By this time, I was actually enjoying the test!
Third section was another games. That means that I got half of my logic and my experimental section finished before the break, which was great. I breezed through that one. I think the first section overall was my experimental, because it was a bit harder, and there were only 23 problems in the section when there are usually 24-28. I finished this one with about 3 minutes left.
During break, I managed to eat about five pieces of popcorn and three chocolate-covered coffee beans before time ran out. That’s the hardest part of the test–it’s hard to sit there for five hours without really being able to eat. After break, two people in my testing room didn’t even come back, one of whom was the guy who had been sitting to my right. I noticed throughout the test that people weren’t finishing the sections in time, which I can only think helps me. The section immediately after break was another logical reasoning, which was even easier than the first. By this time, I was having a blast. I finished early, leaned back, looked around at everyone as they were working, and relaxed. I’ve always been a really quick test-taker, and this was no different.
Finally, reading comprehension. This one was harder than it usually is, but still not that bad, considering it had been my most consistent section. I marked the numbers of the ones that I guessed on, and looked back when I was done. There were four marks in my book. Not so bad. I usually miss about that many in that section, so no different here.
After the multiple choice, we had the writing sample. Argue a position in an essay. You have 30 minutes to write about half a page. It’s amazing how many people found this difficult. I’m used to writing, being an English major. I’m used to arguing, being me. The guy to my left didn’t finish. He ended up with about half a page and had to stop in mid-sentence. I felt pretty bad for him. I filled up all but the very last line, and I feel like I did a good job arguing my point. Looking over it (they give you a carbon copy) I can see a lot of stylistic stuff I would have fixed on editing, but with only 30 minutes to prepare and write it, I think I did a decent job. This part isn’t graded–the law schools just look at it to see how you can write, think, and argue under pressure.
All in all, I feel REALLY good about this test. I’ll let you all know how I did. And Max, I didn’t say I’d send you a picture of my boobies–I said I’d send you a picture of me kissing my own ass. So there. And hell, I don’t even remember what I had to do on the test before I was forced to do this. Anyone else who was there remember?
I know I have a minority view here, or anywhere, practically, but I like lawyers and I like what they do and I’m glad they are there to do it.
I know you will knock 'em dead because most lawyers are idiots (you don’t need to respect people to like them) and a standout person like you will, uh, standout.
Congratulations on finishing the test. This means you will pass. Maybe only get a good enough mark to end up in some unaccredited night school, but that was good enough for my dad and he ended up a federal judge.
And a quick English majors rock!!! I can’t say hello in half a page anymore.
I’m so glad you did well! Way to go! (I know I’m a little late here, but oh well.) I hope you have a nice visit, and let us know about those scores!
For the record: that was your original offer, but you did indeed mention boobs not long after. And the original offer was “French-kiss my own ass”, as I recall. All contingent upon scoring over 165 (the rough average of your practice tests).
So what was the position you had to argue?
Congrats Drain!
She has positions she likes better than others, but we don’t usually argue about any of them…
