I found the writing amusing, but I don’t understand the premise.

If I were a writer, I’d happily take any standardized test, with zero prep and zero consequences. Then I’d tell you how I scored. And, so what?

I did not find his manufactured premise of “always thinking I might be a genius at something” too compelling.

Suggestions to strengthen the piece:

1. Now, he should study hard for 5 months and then take it again.

2. Interweave a profile of another LSAT test taker who has hung his or her dreams on scoring well.

3. Take 3, or 10, standardized tests in other domains, and report on what it says about his greatest area of strength.
