Feb 2011 LSAT afterparty thread Forum

Can't believe I'm already psyching myself out and thinking about this, but I did a decent amount of erasing on the Scantron. I transferred a a few questions over incorrectly (again! idiot!). Since February is undisclosed, is paying to have the LSAC hand-score my test the only way I can be sure that the Scantron machine didn't read it wrong?

I erased like a madman and the machine analyzed my answer sheet like it was nothing. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Thanks. I guess if I do REALLY terribly, I'll just blame it on the machine and not ask the LSAC to hand-score.

I should have specified that this happened in both October and December. I tried to see if the machine had screwed up and was disappointed to discover that it hadn't made a single mistake. Curses!

Well, there goes my hopes of blaming inconsistencies on anyone/thing but myself. Drat.

I'm sorry but I really need clarification on this. I had RC LR RC LG LR

The first RC had African-American opera something (I thought was exp), the third had rent control but a lot of people are saying they didn't have rent control?

African-American Opera? Definitely experimental.

Most of us don't remember "rent-control" but that it was something about economics? Something like that. The one with UNESCO was the real thing.

FWIW, I got to see my scantron from December and I was worried that my not-quite-erased bubbles were gonna cost me. Although it was fairly obvious that there had previously been pencil marking on those bubbles, the machine totally ignored it and took the answer I intended. So apparently the grading machine is sophisticated enough that if you made a good-faith effort to erase that mofo, it will be nice to you and give you credit for the other thing you bubbled.

LG, LR, RC, LG, LR
No African American Opera in my RC, but it did have UNESCO, Quinine.
