NoahTheWeebWolf Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 As some of you may know from talking to me I have spent the past year getting ready for the challenging exam known as the LSAT(Law school admissions test). I took it on the September 28th and got my score back today, did really well(73rd percentile... not as high as my 80th percentile scores on practice exams but still substantially above average). Anyways here's my question... The books and other materials are in perfect condition(except one book which I tore pages out for reference purposes, that one will be 70% off and yes the pages are included). I am wondering if it'd be worth it for me to go on amazon(where I bought all my prep test/books etc from) and just try to make my roughly $500 back from the sale and just walk away with the money and finally enjoy my life after working non stop these past 2 years? Or keep my books as a weird trophy of sorts showing my triumph over 9 different books and 17 practice test? Trying to figure out what's a better idea.

Swizzbeat Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sell it, would you rather have a keepsake gathering dust or cash? The point behind your years of study should have been to learn as much as you can, not do well on some test that hundreds of thousands of people have passed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point behind your years of study should have been to learn as much as you can, not do well on some test that hundreds of thousands of people have passed. These are excellent points Don't worry despite my year worth of studying on the LSAT(which Law schools tend to look at as equally important to GPA) I still did incredible in my undergraduate studies. Specifically I hold a 3.91 GPA, for a Bachelors of Science (specifically entrepreneurship which is a business major similar to business management but instead emphasizes the growth and innovation of a new business not so much the management of an existing one). Also became a senior this september having only been a freshman in fall 2012 so three years of college done in two. Although I must say I am tired as F because I literally did nothing but study for two years straight. Granted in addition to all my college stuff I did commit myself to three different student groups on campus(senator for student government two years resigned in April, Secretary of the Anime club since march and am the proud president and founder of my own college libertarians group on campus). I definitely learned a lot and made good use of my time with college(not so much socially but I will catch up there now that I am basically finished with college).

If you go through school memorizing, you're doing it wrong. You should have an understanding of how things work and reference material as needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have one hell of a drive, keep going! If there's one thing I've learned these past few months it's that continuous hard work pays off. I wholeheartedly disagree with this. If you go through school memorizing, you're doing it wrong. You should have an understanding of how things work and reference material as needed. That's exactly my point my mistake if it was worded poorly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 10 of my engineering books for reference sitting on my desk at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Keep it. If you put so much effort into it, you will soon have a successful career and become rich. Might as well keep it and use it to look back when you're filthy rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
