I have not made the writing section a priority.

I've looked at many of the prompts and worked out an outline, but I haven't done that many full on actual writing sections.

Should I even give this a second thought?

No, you shouldn't.

I doubt immensly that anyone ever reads the writing sections.

i've heard that some adcomms will read your writing section if they have any doubts about whether you yourself wrote your PS.

but, you should always DO the writing section because law schools do receive a copy of it. don't draw smiley faces or apologize for your lousy lsat score or write some polemic about the law school admissions process (yes, true stories). just read the prompt and write.

I hadn't look at a single writing sample prompt until today. I sort of set today aside to relax and look over the writing sample.

I decided on a pretty good way to organise it so that I don't have to do much thinking (pros/cons of both etc) and I started to write out a sample one under timed conditions but gave up half way through... NO ONE is going to read this thing so who cares. The rest will probably help my score more.

How much credence would you put in something that someone wrote after 5 hours of a brutal exam... when they are probably exhausted, starving and ready to kill to use the washroom?

anyways... that being said... are you supposed to write or can you print? my handwriting isn't exactly beautiful.

um... it just says write. so i'm guessing however best you write, write that way. one thing tho: you can't erase (or at least you're not suppose to erase). rather, cross out and continue writing.

eh... I erased. oops?

I didn't do a single practice writing sample either. the rest of the test is much, much more important. although when you get there, like kmoneys said, take it seriously! just don't stress about it right now.

lenin, just write as readably as you can. that's the most important thing.

I never practiced an LSAT writing section before the test. If you know you can write well, you won't have anything to worry about
