Don't even talk to me about the LSAT like it's a thing

I never took the GRE. I took the LSAT after reading the Princeton Review book. I had no prep at all for the PSAT/SAT/ACT. I didn't know there were tutoring courses, etc, for most of them and wouldn't have had access to them if I did.

And yes I am bitter and whiny about it, I try very hard not to whine, and I acknowledge I've squandered my gifts, but I still think I got a bit of a raw deal.

We didn't have AP classes. I found out about the CLEP tests basically by accident. I took them cold because again, didn't have any other resources. When I started college I already had a semester's worth of credit.

Incidentally I paid for those tests myself with money I earned cleaning up in a meat locker. My father didn't think it was worth the money but gave me permission to drive all the way to Iowa City to take the tests at least. Even that was close.

Man, I haven't thought about that in a long, long time. I was so scared. Drove all the way by myself (I had just turned 17,) had to figure out how to get around on an actual campus in an actual city, surrounded by kids who looked like they knew what they were doing.

Eh, I'm probably just being dramatic. It *was* harder then than now, though. No smartphone, no GPS. Road map and handwritten directions narrated over the phone.

it amazes me that anybody survived the days of handwritten directions

Dude, when I wanted to talk to someone out of voice range I had to use a device which made SPARKS to send routing information.
