26. GRE is like the SAT, or at least it was, and is quite easy
The LSAT, I don't know. If you are a good test taker, you have nothing to worry about. You quickly grasp the basic question structure and are able to deduce the desired answer. That is what's wrong with standardized tests. They don't really test knowledge or show anything but skill at test taking. I always scored high, and I know that the tests are total bullshit. Anytime people can take classes about the test and dramatically boost their scores, you know the tests have nothing to do with knowledge. More schools are realizing this, and the ones that do still require tests still look at the bigger picture. When applying concentrate on related coursework you did well in, leadership, and extracurricular and community activities. High scores can open doors, but will not alone get you through.
