Had to get 170. Got 167.

I want to throw things. Master is going to beat me senseless *if* I'm lucky. Probably something much worse like a ban on seeing him for a really long time. I dunno. I'm freaking out.

Really. Freaking out. This is bad.

I'm worried he'll leave me.

Obviously I don't know you or the particular situation, but as a current law student I'dI can tell you that the LSATs aren't the end of the world, or the only thing law schools use to decide admissions. So, just take a deep breath and realize that things have a way of working themselves out. 167 is pretty damn good and you should be proud of it.

Dang, Kit, I'm sorry. By 3 points, wow. =(

Not to be a buttinski or anything like that.. but are you really afraid your Master will leave you? I mean, I can understand being disappointed, but he knows you did try your best, right? That just seems a bit harsh, that's all..

greetings kitttty,

according to chicagochick, who knows more than i do about these things for sure, and from the little bit i've read of lsat grading, 167 is pretty damn good. the highest is 180. 167 is nothing to shake one's head at.

i'm not going to speak about your situation in this post, but my master is very involved in pushing me in school and knowing my grades and that kind of thing. in our situation, as long as i do my best, i don't have to live in fear of him being displeased or wanting to leave me. if you did your best, in my opinion, that is all he can expect of you. we are not superhuman. sometimes no matter how hard you study or work for something, it doesn't always work out perfectly or the way you want it to. he wanted me to double major for job security, and so did i, but right now all i can do is one major - the thing i want to go to graduate school for - because of my health. so he accepts that. if i work my butt off for a c in math, he's at least as accepting of that as he is encouraging and excited by my as in other classes. i think the key here is that you tried to do your best both for yourself and to please your master - that to me is all that should matter.

in terms of what you can do from here, do you have more time before you plan to apply to law school? could you possibly try to take it again the next time it's offered? i screwed myself out of that with the sat because i had only one chance to take it before my applications were due (i liked my score, though)...but with the gre, i am going to try and take it early so i can retake it if i'm not happy with my score. maybe you can consider doing that and asking your master to be involved in your preparation to take it again.

best of luck to you in your relationship and with your schooling.

respectfully,
annabelle.

Kind of. Recently, because I want so badly to be his slut wife, he is viewing me in terms of wife potential and I think he started falling in love with me. I think its harder for him to be as sadistic as he would like to be with a slave. But in order for him to want me this way, I really do have to show him that I'm an equal and 167 aint equal. He's very smart. So, now I fear he will see no use for me as I am neither a slave for him to do with as he pleases nor an equal companion.

greetings kitttty,

i was hoping to keep my mouth shut on that, but if he thinks that your lsat grade is a measure of your intelligence, he's not very intelligent to begin with - so no, you're right, you are not equals. on top of that, book smarts does not necessarily equal intelligence, and other kinds of intelligence are not mutually exclusive. my master has taken some college classes, but i will have far more higher education than he would ever have thought of getting when i am done, and i'm already more advanced in some things book-wise. on the other hand, he has a lot of life experience, common sense, and intelligence about current issues that i don't. so we learn from each other. we don't sit around debating whether or not we ought to be with people who are our "intellectual equals"...we value the fact that we know different things and have different experiences to share with one another.

last i checked, 167 was like above the 93rd percentile most of the time. that's pretty damn smart in my book, anyway.

annabelle.

He says that if I don't get the score its because I didn't try hard enough because I have the smarts and I'm just not using it.

I mean, it is humanly possible that I could have tried harder. Its not like I spent every hour of the day on the test. Some people do.

Master has book smarts. Master has life experience. I cannot think of one thing I do better than he does. Sucking cock maybe. Cuz he hasn't tried.

greetings kitttty,

my problem with the idea of spending every hour of the day on the test is the fact that all that test does is get you into law school. it doesn't mean you're smart. it's not a measure of your intelligence or dedication. hell, it's not even really the primary measure of getting into law school. it's not going to teach you anything about life and it isn't a measure of how well your relationship will work. studying enough to get a decent grade - which you did, more than decent - and spending the rest of that time putting effort into things that really do concretely relate to who you are seems like a much better plan to me, personally.

my master is actually really happy that the one thing i do better than he does is suck cock :P but my school and career choices are vastly different from his and he knows that his "old line" way of thinking doesn't always apply, and thank god he has the intelligence to remember that.

your master reminds me of my mother. i loved her to bits and pieces and mama was an amazing woman, don't get me wrong, but she fed me that "you're just not using it" line from birth, practically. i'm still recovering and learning that i am way more than my test scores and gpa. i hope either your master wakes up or you find someone who values you for who you are as a human being and what you DO have to offer as a slave and/or partner. so you don't have three extra points to offer on the lsat. whatever. i'm sure there are lots of other reasons to love and value you. if he doesn't see that, his loss.

respectfully,
annabelle.

Perhaps he was using such words as a motivator. I have a feeling once you talk to him, you will see things will be fine. So often our fears are bigger than what reality actually brings. Keep breathing, see if you can improve your score by Feb, if that is what is necessary, and wait until you talk to him before thinking the worst.

Kit

A little reality test here, please. Did you take the LSATs to prove to this guy you're smart or to get into law school? Because according to some LSAT site I just visited, your 167 puts you well above the 83% percentile... And, depending on your application deadline, you could always take it again and try to improve your score. Seems to me you should be more concerned about ranking high enough to gain admissions to the better schools. Perspective, kit. You need it now.

Best,

MNN

Pardon my hijack but an ignorant Aussie wants to know....

I've occasionally heard the term come out in American shows/movies etc, but wtf does 'SAT' stand for - and LSAT in this instance?

And to the OP, what is relevant about being 3 points/marks short - why did you have to achieve 170? 167 means repeating some course?

And finally, do you feel...

A) You fell short through being a little out of your depth on the subject; that you were always struggling?

B) You did give it your best shot anyway but couldn't quite make it?

C) You were always confident and just expected to cruise through without doing the work?

If I owned you, you'd only be in big trouble for option C).... But I doubt I'd dump you for it; not unless I was incapable of adjusting such an attitude that would undoubtedly manifest in most of your assigned tasks.

Focus.

Its pretty arrogant and in bad taste to "complain" about such good score.

Assuming you've characterized your master correctly, he sounds like an idiot.

For those that want to know, she's in the top 20% or higher of those who took the test.

And he determined that a minimum score of 170 was necessary because....?

I'd like to know his objective methodology for that determination.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way; that score is NOT a failure.

greetings focus,

in america there are several different kinds of standardized tests you have to take to get into different kinds/levels of schooling. the sat (along with the act) is a test you take to get into university - it stands for scholastic aptitude test i think, but it's usually referred to as the sat reasoning test or just the sat.

the lsat (which stands for law school admission test) is a standardized test you have to take to apply for law school. it's the same as applying for other forms of upper level schooling - to apply to most general graduate programs you have to take the gre (graduate record examination), to apply to other kinds of programs and professional schools there are other examinations to take. wikipedia has a list of standardized tests in the us if you're curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_standardized_tests_in_the_United_States

some schools, scholarships, and programs have minimum scores, but from what i understand, 170 is not a minimum score required by a program in this instance.

respectfully,
annabelle.

I have a kid that missed National Merit Scholar by just a few points. Guess what? She picked herself up and went for the gold anyway. A few years later her nice shiny Ph.D was on her wall--test scores don't mean everything, it's your goals that make the difference.

As for your Master...hmm...maybe you need to re-evaluate.

I took it because he told me to take it to go to law school (also his decision).

When I took the test, the very low 170s were the upper range of my practice scores. When I took a princeton review practice a month before, I got a 168. So, I did not improve although I studied on most days.

I do not think he is kidding. He says sometimes he thinks the goals he sets are too hard for me and if that is the case, I should tell him and he will release me and be my friend. But I dont want that at all.

My real father will also be disappointed about my score.

If he truly cares for you, and wants a life with you as his wife, I dont think he'd leave over a score. The 167 could be the result of him placing all that pressure on you, and caused you to develop a sort of test anxiety. You just need to relax, and yes. It is worth taking it over again, if it means you are one step closer to a career that you love and want to do. Be upset for another day or so, then cheer up and be determined to get a better score FOR YOU. Youre the only one that benefits from the education you are going through sweetie.

Best of luck.
