I love this thread. Nothing much ti report from my testing experience except a small argument. After the first section our Procter made it a point to remind everyone that when she called time, we were not to make any more marks and we should all put our pencils down or suffer the consequences. Time is called on section 5 and the proctor goes on to say a few sentences about signing the testing booklet when another proctor calls out a girl for continuing to bubble in. The girl loudly yells about how she was just finishing up the section and it was unfair that the procter decided to report it. She looks around at the room of testers looking for someone to back her up and we all just stare at her like "Girl, we all threw our pencils down 2 minutes ago. STFU"

Definitely getting the "Let's laugh at the little people" vibe. And since when was the LSAT a proxy for intelligence? Missed that memo.

The guy might surprise you. One of my good friends took one practice test while waiting in line for a star wars movie before taking the actual test. He got 168, got a decent scholarship from a decent school, and worked biglaw for several years. It can happen for this guy too!

Lol some people only need to take 1-2 prep tests.Too score in the high 160's.. Those are the people, that will crush you on the 1L median curve.

Ehh, not necessarily. There's always people who crush the LSAT without much studying (or crush it with a ton of work put in) and don't end up way above median after 1L.

I see why you think that though, based on that whole LSAT predicting 1L success stuff, which honestly isn't always the case.

I saw an acquaintance at my testing center (1.5 hours from where we live) had stored a coke in the bathroom of the testing center for the break. When he went to open it, it exploded all over him and it looked like he wet himself. Classic fourth grade embarrasement.

So do we get anything that can be used as scratch paper in the test?

You'll receive the same amount as appears in the prep test books from LSAC starting with prep test 66. It's two pages per LG and it's plenty.

“It’s really dumb to take the test multiple times because they average the score and look down on multiple attempts.”

Me: “But that doesn’t make sense. If you score higher you have a better score. Anyways, they don’t do that because all they care about is your top score because it boosts their rankings.”

Them: “Well I talked to the schools and that’s what they said.”

Me: “The schools.”

Them (confidently) : Campbell.

Me: “Sure,sure.”




And then the usual people that can’t seem to remember but think they scored a 168 or 170. ... ... ... right. And Trump isn’t obese either.

My favorite (not in test though) came from a guy that had a mutual friend with me:

Him: “Yeah, I’m going to Stanford.”

Me: “Oh damn, that’s awesome. What was your LSAT score? I’m studying a lot and would love some good words.”

Him: “171.”

Me: “you must have had a pretty good GPA huh?”

Him: “You can go anywhere with a 170 or higher.”

Me: “Oh, I didn’t know it was automatic like that. That’s crazy.”

...

A week later he told our mutual friend his score was 174.

..That guy..

The girl in front of me came in with a fresh pack of pencils. The proctor told her she was only allowed four and needed to dispose of the rest. Meanwhile, when I get into the room the guy across the way has over 20 pencils out on the desk. I was amazed by that, I would have liked to have more than four, but I don't know what I'd do with 20.
I brought in a full 12 pack of pencils, would have been PISSED if I could only have 4. That sounds like some bullshit the proctor made up.
That is a bs rule. There are no stipulations of that sort on the LSAC official ticket package
I think they might have interpreted four pencils max from this on the LSAC's site:
"Pencils: Bring three or four sharpened No. 2 or HB wooden pencils with good erasers."

Well, it is written by lawyers. :/

Yes Campbell lies to prospective students....in other news....the sky is blue...water is wet....and recent college grad unemployment is double the national average.

I’m just stationed in North Carolina, but if I did plan to go to law school here, I wouldn’t be considering them.
