You took the LSAT on Saturday.
True, you expected there'd be no "Roman Numerals" or."Triple/True False" question type on this exam. You knew what kinds of question types were likely to appear. You saw that you used every minute and dollar against the LSAT as it turned out to be.
Brilliant.
And true again, those who studied others' materials - including the"Princeton" Review, the LSAT Intensive Review, and TestMasters - sat scratching their furrowed brows.
They asked themselves: "Where is that question type I drilled and drilled and drilled for?"
For their sakes, we ask you: Be kind. You aced the test. Let that be victory enough.
