He quips:</p> <p><em>“Don’t you love it when people in school are like ‘I’m a bad test taker’ — you mean you’re stupid! Oh you struggle with that part where we find out what you know? I know, I can totally relate, see, because I’m a brilliant painter minus my god awful brush strokes.”</em></p> <p>While it is incredibly tempting to pick apart the flawed logic used by Mr. Tosh in this analogy, I am simply going to disagree with his overall statement; being a poor test taker does not mean you are stupid, nor are standardized tests an exhaustive or conclusive measure of one’s intellect.</p> <p>There are many among us who are quite sharp yet don’t excel in the realm of standardized test taking. There’s a TON of pressure, and questions are often phrased in a misleading or confusing way. In the case of the LSAT, the exam writers are constantly setting answer traps to trick you. With all of these obstacles present in most standardized test formats, it is no wonder that many folks simply do not perform well on these exams.</p> <p>Luckily for you, we at Manhattan Prep have your back. On September 15th we are debuting our first ever “Reaching Your Standardized Testing Potential” workshop in New York City. The session will be run by <a href="//www.manhattanprep.com/gre/jdziura.cfm" target="_blank">Jen Dziura</a>, owner of two perfect scores on the GRE. Jen will discuss the various habits and practice routines that can help improve your performance on test day, as well as hack away at some of the intimidating myths surrounding such high stakes exams.</p> <p>The best part? It’s totally free to register. Join us and begin learning how you can maximize your standardized testing potential.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/lsat/blog/bad-test-taker-weve-got-a-workshop-for-you/">Bad Test Taker?
