Heh...I was expecting at least SOME comment on my badass moustache.
In any case, it is now 24 hours away from the LSAT. I have taken 11 practice tests in June, with the following scores:
178 168 170 164 168 173 166 174 175 169 168
This is an average of 170.2.
What do the numbers mean? The LSAT is a scaled score test with a range of 120-180. The test is taken by all students who are trying to get into law school, and by ONLY students that are trying to get into law school. There is no such thing as a "passing" grade, but the score that you get on your test will determine what type of school you have the possibility of being accepted to.
The mid-range of scores (where the middle 60% of test takers fall) is from 146-159. This is where most law students end up. The 20% that are below this could get into law school, but it wouldn't be a very good school at all. The 146-159 students are all pretty much in the same boat, as in going to whatever state school they want and having a normal career, etc.
Me? I intend to be elite. I intend to get into the best schools and have the best career. This means that I need to get into the 90th percentile.
164 90th percentile
167 95th percentile
172 99th percentile
My work has indicated that I am between the 95th and 99th percentile of all students trying to get into law school. It is very possible to get into the 172+ range, as I have done this on 4 occasions. If I get a 172 on the LSAT, I am pretty much going to any school in the country I want, perhaps for free.
My work has consistently shown that I have Ivy League potential. I am confident that the score I get on the test will be definitely above the minimum that I will be satisfied with (164), and probably above the 95th percentile (167). The goal that I set for myself at the beginning of study was 170. To be honest, I did not really think that this was a realistic goal; just one that I was setting my sights for. Now that it is within my reach, I feel very proud of myself for setting my goals that high.
Please think kindly of me for tomorrow...I'm ready for this test, but I have a lot riding on it. I quit my job in February so that I could study for this test full time. I have made sacrifices that I cannot even begin to describe here, just to put myself in the best possible position I could be in to succeed on this test.
I've got one more practice test to take and then it is up to Ft Lauderdale to stay in a nice hotel room for the night.
Please wish me luck, it means a lot to me!

That is an interesting mustache. It reminds me of a biker stash.
I dare not show my guy, he wants one so badly, however, he can't really grown facial hair.
