Week 3, Standardized Tests

I could not go to my service learning project today due to near 12 hours a day of study for the LSAT. The bottom-line for me is that standardized TIMED tests are BS. Nontimed I can answer about 95/101 questions and score ridiculously high. Add a 35 minute time limit to each section, and that is reduced by about 15-20 questions. Going to law school and being a lawyer is all about being prepared, whether its doing endless amounts of Conn Law readings or working up case research, everything takes an extended amount of time. They say the LSAT is the best standardized test to gauge how you'll do in law school, but I question how being able to do 26 questions in 35 minutes really relates to how well I would do legal research or perform in trial. I guess what you can take away from this is: I'm really stressed out about this test that basically sets up the rest of my of life, and I don't think it's fair because it doesn't allow me to show my skills.
