An exam I thought I probably got less than 70% on...

I actually got 80% on! Keeping my 4.0 average intact. Booyah!

Edit: I realize most of you don't care, understandably... My glee, however, knows no bounds!
 
Curve? I've had some profs who devised exams so devious, the average raw score was ~30%. The anxiety after taking them would nearly kill me, until the curve was revealed.

I doubt it for this one, the exam was relatively fair but I just hadn't prepared sufficiently.

Last semester, I took a class on State and Local Government.. It was a freshman/sophomore class (I was a senior) where the professor made it tougher than he needed to. He asked a lot of intricate questions.

Anyway, I picked the hottest girl in the class and sat by her for a while. Her and I started exchanging notes. I made copies for her for a day she missed.. Then she made copies for me for like 10 or 15 days I missed. I missed at least 1/3 of the days that semester. I think she missed like 3 days. She took really detailed notes. I only took detailed notes if she wasn't in class. Otherwise, I doodled. We talked some.. but not a lot. She was definitely one step above my league and her and I knew that and acted accordingly.

Final exam comes around and she has an A average and I have a low B average.. She studied a lot and I studied very little. I did the exam really fast expecting to get a B or C on it.. After I finished it, I felt totally worried because I didn't second guess sh1t.. I just did it. I answered everything like it was NOT a trick question.

I got a 96% and it was enough to pull my entire grade to an A. She got a B. It made me almost feel guilty seeing I put about 1/3 of the work into the class as she did.

Economics? I'm not quite as impressed now. Congrats on your 4.0

:roll: Econ majors are some of the most successful LSAT takers and law school applicants.

Here's some evidence.

Good for you? Still not impresed 😛

Heh, and what are you majoring in?

Physics and Math

*yawn*

LOL I like how prelaw was near the bottom of the list. I find that ironic

Pre-law is one of the worst majors to go into law with, it's not a sufficiently broad education. You learn what you need to know for law in Law School, therefore pre-law is useless. 😉

lol you were hoping I'd say a major that was below economics on that LSAT sheet. We rocked you and took first place 😛

Fair enough, I'm not even going to try to pretend that wasn't the case. You win! 😉 Not a major I would say is interesting to me, but I'll definitely credit you with a difficult major which puts you in a good place for many masters programs.

I find that awesome in so many ways. These people chose pre-law so they could get into law school (or they just wanted to take some courses and graduate), and in the end they would have been better off doing art

Keep in mind, that is merely the average that those students achieved on their LSAT and does not reflect their acceptances after. A student can get into a great law school from any major, it is just that some better prepare you for the LSAT than others.
