The impending LSAT drives students to pray - and write earnest, meandering articles in their college newspapers:
I have developed a better understanding of the LSAT through prepping, but I have always wondered what it had to do with law school. Granted, every test that you take for higher education will give some sort of unbelievable explanation of why it is important. But it was quite odd how the real answer to the question hit me because that answer is found in the word used for all big tests such as this: standardized test. Since every test given out each time is equal for each test taker, the results could be incredibly low but they would still test the overall intelligence of that test group. I never thought that the LSAT, the ACT, or the SAT were really beneficial at all to higher education. But, after prepping for this test, I realized that even if I study for 24 hours a day, this test will bring me back to the reality that studying goes only so far and that these tests were not meant to be studied for...With this thought in mind, I will continue to prep for the June sixth date and pray that all the hard work will pay off. After all, ambition requires motivation.
Reminds me of the old saying, "As long as there are tests in schools, there will be prayer in schools.'
