All you haters can suck my IQ

So, the LSAT was good for something after all.  But I thought the chemistry GRE was harder.

tl;dr: study for legal test make Hulk smarter.

Funny, I was just thinking about that. I think my brain was altered in the process.
What do you call 500 lawyers at the bottom of the river?

Not really.  Being able to fill out the timeslips for billing, there is your essential skill.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Regolith - he was making a joke.  ;/

Not a joke, but interesting Savannah tidbit. When James Oglethorpe established Savannah, he constructed the town around four central squares and four tenets: No lawyers, no slaves, no papists, and no liquor. Liquor was the first of these to fall off the bandwagon. Incidentally, the thing with Catholics had nothing to do with the religion, but Spanish spies were Catholic, so easier to just ban all Catholics.

Ironically, the town now has a huge population of Irish. Which are both Catholics and drinkers. Everyone still hates lawyers though.

So does this mean Law School is so easy they don't have to really study until they take that test?

In law there is no actual answer.  Lawyers and judges (most of whom used to be lawyers) just make stuff up and throw a lot of large and Latin words about to make it all sound, if not important, at least impressive.

This is a form of creativity.

Watercolor artists are creative.

Many lawyers are failed watercolor artists.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

I think we can all think of another failed watercolor artist who had a surge of notoriety back in the 30's and 40's.

APS godwinned a thread on the LSAT.

I stand... well, ok, I'm sitting... in awe.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Regardless of that, shouldn't they be able to see this same development as they study for class finals and other sorts of critical points in their academic life?  Surely the hardest thing they do isn't this one test is it?  Otherwise, I would think schools aren't preparing them very well. 

I didn't see if they mentioned whether this effect was permanent or temporary though.

Keep a stiff upper lip, and remember that only 99% of lawyers give the other 1% a bad name.
