the girl i'm thinking of was a jewish princess who was clearly smart but just did not want to do this and was only in the class because her parents demanded it

there were a few ESL indians that got in that range as well

how did you handle them in class? did you ever find that some people just couldn't understand most of the sentences on the lsat? to the point where they wouldn't be able to form intelligent questions about the material -- so confused that they couldn't ask a question to help untangle that confusion?

yes, all the time. you do the best you can and try to triage where they can get points.

obviously a huge chunk of people just never even get close on logic games, even though that's pretty much the only section that's objectively gameable on test day. if you can't read that's not something i can teach you in the six weeks before the test.

logic games are gameable in the sense that there is a technique to working the problems quickly and even really smart people have trouble doing them within the time constraints without those techniques, but, even if you know the techniques, you still need to be reasonably smart to do them all correctly in the time allotted

it's particularly aggravating when you have to deal with students who can't accept their own limitations. you get 140s who are convinced they should be getting 175s, but they can't figure out basic concepts no matter how many times you explain it. and then they blame you for their intellectual deficiencies. and you really just want to be real with them and be like, "look, you're fucking dumb. don't go to law school. you should be working at a car wash." but you can't.

lots of depressing stories, although they tend to look the same. kids that didn't try never really bothered me, but experienced lots of kids who try and yet fail spectacularly. either dumb as rocks or the kind who can follow how to set up a logic game, and parrot it back to you, and even do it correctly themselves as long as you're sitting there, but the minute they bring you a game they did at home you can see they've completely fallen apart, set it up all wrong, misdiagrammed rules, made dumb mistakes and gotten 1-2 questions right out of seven at the very most.

hooked up with a few girls though.

I've told this before, but the smartest student I ever had got a 123 diagnostic. She took the refund and never came back.
