Never in my life has three hours passed more quickly than during each of my law school exams this year.

This. I remember 3 hour flights that felt like an eternity. But during these exams it feels like 3 minutes.

you should be in such a zone that you shouldn't notice all this shit.

Never in my life has three hours passed more quickly than during each of my law school exams this year. I mean, I noticed when people left for about .2 seconds. And, geeze, I don't care what they do when they're out there.

Here's how you deal with dudes sneaking out and checking stuff on their phones: know your stuff so well inside and out that, when they leave the room to look up Rule X, you've already written a paragraph about it.

moast definitely. Everytime i saw someone get up during an exam i loled inside about it

well bro, i got up 2-4 times during each final, including 1-2 cigarette breaks per final and top 5%'d it 1L year. Sometimes taking a breather is the best thing to do.

I mean, of course you notice when somebody leaves the room. It's impossible not to notice because of the sound of the door.

The things I'm referring to is looking to see where their phone is, looking to see that there's a "phone imprint" on their pants, noticing the same people leaving, etc. All that is a bunch of bullshit you shouldn't even be paying attention to.

How much "research" can you really do for a law school final on your phone in the bathroom? Maybe I'm spoiled because all of my exams were open book issue spotters, but it seems pretty silly to worry much about someone sneaking into the bathroom to check their phone.

Some schools treat their students like adults, whereas others they treat them like delinquents.

This.

Plus, if someone has to run to the bathroom multiple times to look things up on their phone, they are probably not a threat.

I keep telling myself that, but when it comes to the curve...

I don't want some kid to get two more points than me on an exam after he/she looked up something on his or her phone.

Oh gawd I just got told by my own avatar!

[buckilaw]

walking into the exam room and seeing that around 15% of my classmates are gone. I wonder where they are...realize they are taking extra time.

Why? I get up to go to the restroom or clear my head at least once every hour during exams. It helps me stay focused and keeps me from overstressing. Different things work for different people, and getting up a bunch of times doesn't mean they'll do poorly or that they're cheating.

finals grievance: when your professor makes 25% of your test based on an optional reading assignment taht wasnt discussed at all in class

If you think people are cheating because they go to the bathroom multiple times, you are way too paranoid.

1. Caffeine makes you have to go more often
2. Adderall makes you super thirsty so that you end up having to go more often
3. Anxiety makes you have to go (fight or flight response is to dump everything in your body to make you run faster)

A large portion of your classmates probably have one of those three things or combination thereof happening.

i literally stop drinking water the night before the exam and i only drink 5 hour energy drinks and use energy strips the day of so i dont have to risk losing time to go to the bathroom. 6 exams this year and didnt question going to the bathroom once

You are going to die so soon.

As for the dweeb all paranoid about people getting up to check stuff: Jesus.

I don't know, man. I feel like every minute is precious during those htings. To each his own, though

He he. 6 days out of hte year won't do anything. I'm a rather healthy person outside of exam time.

Okay fine I lied about the kid looking stuff up on his phone. Dude actually had an outline stashed in the bathroom.
