It fascinates me how some people find the games to be so easy. I can score -0 to -1 on the LR, and average around -3 on RC, yet games are a crapshoot. Sometimes I do okay; often I get -4 or 5 and up to -8, like I did on the Sept. test.
The only thing holding me back from having an easy 170 is decent performance on the games....

Bear in mind that some people on this board have an optimistic interpretation of their average. Obviously people who have done the mean, median, mode dispersion are usually going to have a mathematically sound average, but there are assuredly people out there who get 161, 162, 164, 165, 160, who say, well my average score is 164-165, thinking that if they get a high score once, they will be able t...

I agree that being a part-time student might just be a blessing in disguise. I think you'll have a much, much better chance at getting some really interesting term-time work. Every law student east of St. Louis wants to come to NYC to work for the summer, but then they'll go back to school and you'll have your pick of jobs. You might even have better luck finding a paid term-time internship!...
