Overheard at the LSAT
I saw a few posts in the Oct. LSAT reactions thread, but I thought it deserved its own thread. What were the most amusing things you overheard other LSAT takers say?
Girl 1: "I studied for, like, and hour a day for, like, two whole weeks!"
Girl 2: "Whoa."

As soon as logic games section started, some guy raises his hand and blurts out: "Hey! Do we get scratch paper?"

Re: Overheard at the LSAT
The guy next to me: "So, yea, I took the test before and I was pissed because I didn't score anywhere near my highest practice tests. I studied for a few months, took a Kaplan test, and I even came to this room and took PTs on Saturdays before the test under real conditions. I worked my ass off and I scored way below my top practice test score...so I decided to retake. But I've really worked my ass off this time...I took another Kaplan class too. I'm going to kick some ass today."
Me: "That sucks, what was the score that you were shooting for on your first attempt."
Guy next to me: "150-155"

Re: Overheard at the LSAT
Overheard during the break...
Girl 1: "Oh....my...GOOOODDD. I didn't know youuuuu were taking the LSAT?!?!?!?"
Girl 2: "Oh my God, girl. We are so hot right now. We're like hot lawyers"
Girl 1: "Oh I know...I think about that all the time."
Girl 2: "So how did the first half go?"
Girl 1: "I don't know..did you study."
Girl 2: "Pssstt....no, that's gay."
Girl 1: "I know, right???"
...only at the University of Kentucky

Re: Overheard at the LSAT
lol...i have so many.
Another one from during the break:
Guy 1: I didn't bring a snack.
Guy 2. That sucks. (eating handfuls of planters mixed nuts)
Guy 1: Give me some of your nuts.
Guy 2: You would want that. (turns away from the other guy and does not share his planters mixed nuts)
Also,
Random guy 1: "Can I use the restroom?"
Proctor: "You have all been checked-in. Once you are checked-in there will be no restroom breaks until the after test starts, then you can ask to be excused."
Random guy 2: "Can I use the restroom?"

Re: Overheard at the LSAT
I just said, "Don't worry. You got it this time. It sounds like you've prepared better than most people I've talked to," which was a total lie, but I felt really bad because he was such a nice guy.kaftka juice wrote:what did you say to him? i think i would have a hard time disguising my "you should NOT be going to law school" look.longdaysjourney wrote:The guy next to me: "So, yea, I took the test before and I was pissed because I didn't score anywhere near my highest practice tests.

Re: Overheard at the LSAT
lol who knows, I know people who barely study and do well, really really well. I tend to overestimate people's capabilities too, so I assume those are the people who are naturally just good at this stuff-benefit of the doubt.

lol, that guy sounds like a D-bag. But I totally get what you mean. He's not a D-bag by choice or on purpose. He's just woefully unaware, it's almost kind of cute. I think some of the nicest people I've ever met, and nicest friends I've ever had, were major D-bags.
For the purpose of this post, D-bag just means people who say awesome and 'bruh' a lot.

Re: Overheard at the LSAT
This thread makes me so happy. And it definitely reinforces the sort of bubble that TLS is in. Yes, most people consider 165 to be a great score, and most people think Pithypike's study guide is completely insane/unnecessary. But not on TLS, oh no.

Re: Overheard at the LSAT
the best thing I heard, by far.
Girl 1 "I looked on Emory's website and they said they were accepting applications for 2014. That means they have a 3 year waiting list, JUST TO APPLY!"
Girl 2 "That makes sense, I think a lot of the top schools are that way"
Awesome!

Girl 2: They only test how fast you can argue.

Re: Overheard at the LSAT
This from one of my friends actually:
Me: "Do you know which one was your experimental"
Him: "What are you talking about"
Me: "You realize one of the sections isn't graded right?"
Him: "So that's why the practice test I took only had four sections!"
Me: "Do you know which one was your experimental"

Re: Overheard at the LSAT
This was as I was leaving:
Girl: Did you take a prep course? Did it help?
Me: Yeah. I took PR and had like a 13 point jump.
Girl: I should take one. My biggest issue is timing When I practice at home I give myself a little leeway with the clock. When she called 5 minutes on the 1st LR section I had just started #16.
Me: YIKES!
Girl: Yeah. So I guess timing yourself during these practice tests is important, huh?
Me: Yeah, I would say so.
Eventually she concluded that she would get a score of like 145. I kinda felt bad for her, but she was obviously not too bright. I couldnt believe it...

Re: Overheard at the LSAT
lol This thread is great.
At my testing location they split us up alphabetically and all the M-Z were in my room. (Kinda sucked b/c the 1st half of the alphabet actually got TABLES and we had those tiny little fold-over lecture desks...). Anyway, this one guy went up to the proctor during check-in:
Guy: So, my ticket says we're in X Hall. But you guys put the M-Z in here instead. I want to test there. Why can't I test there?
Proctor: Well what's your last name?
Guy: Z.
