-At the end of section 4, proctor announces, "Look, we know someone in here has a phone, or some type of electronic. We've been hearing it vibrate since we returned from the break." Everyone is totally confused, no one has heard anything. The group (about 50 ppl) is unanimous that we haven't heard anything, but the proctors insist they've been hearing a vibrating noise. The main one says, "We know someone has an electronic in here, so to that person, you have two choices. Either just cancel your score and leave right now, or EVERYONE IN THE ROOM is going to get their score reported with an irregularity that they were suspected of having an electronic device inside the test room." That's when shit hit the fan. It was like Lord of the Flies. A handful of girls started crying, guys starting screaming & cussing at the proctors, it was chaos. One guy makes himself coherent above the other shouting, and yells, "We don't know each other! We're seated alphabetically, we're not friends! No one in here is going to cover up for anyone else. If anyone in here had a device, we'd throw them under the bus so fucking fast--" He started getting up out of his seat like he was going to punch someone, so the proctors told him to sit down and for everyone to wait while one went outside and called LSAC to ask them what to do. They come back and say that LSAC told them to resume the test, but walk around the room through the last section to see if they can locate the so-called device and then remove that person. I happened to be in the back row so I alone knew when they discovered the cause of the "vibrating". It was the fucking air conditioning vent turning on and off. Needless to say, they did not make an announcement of their findings.

Guy 1: Man, I remember the LSAT, that shit sucked. My goal was 155, I was getting low 150s on every practice test. Then test day came, and bam, 147.
Guy 2: Yeah, that sucks, but you got into law school, so whatever, right?
Guy 1: Yeah, barely!
Guy 2: Well it doesn't really matter anyway. All these fuckin' idiots, spending all this fuckin' money to go to UCLA, USC, Berkeley, are so retarded. Next year, I'm gonna have the exact same degree, know the exact same stuff, pass the exact same bar exam, have the exact same license as they do, for way cheaper.

dude just needed a quiet place to eat some yogurt. respect.R86 wrote:One of the guys I met and talked with a bit at the February test left an impression. He was retaking, and was working on some LG in the hallway before the test, chatting with people a bit.
Just before we go in, he takes the battery out of his phone and sticks the phone & battery in his sock. Pretty funny. He also walks in carrying one of those big ass tubs of yogurt for his snack. The proctor tells him it's supposed to fit in his bag, and he says to her, "I can pour it in if you really want me to." She said "no that's alright" and lets him in. I was cracking up. During one of the short breaks between two sections I looked back and he was just casually eating yogurt.
He let me use his concealed sock-phone after the test, which was cool.
Nothing else interesting happened. I'm retaking in October, so I'll try and get there early and overhear some shit.

A group 4 girls came around the corner, two of which were holding plastic bags. Two went to the bathroom. Two stayed outside. Then we all started to go into the room. The two bathroom visitors came back out and someone was like 'hey, they're letting us in now." Two of the four go, "Oh, we're just LSAT moms for today. These two are taking the test."
Then they started posing for photos outside the test center with their baggies. "Everybody say 'LSAT'!"

Lol, seriously. They weren't even assigned to our test room and ended up having to run out and find the correct one...with maybe a minute to spare before 12:30. Too many photos. Too little time.PennBull wrote:"MY LIFE IS GOING TO BE JUST LIKE ELLE WOODS"Mr. Pancakes wrote:wtfsuzige wrote:At my testing center I was walking around in front of the room before we went in to get the blood flowing.

Hahaha fck that kid.I distinctly remember some Princeton kid sitting by me when I took the test last year. We were chatting about the prep we did and he was putting me down because I took a course and spent quite a bit of time doing self-study. He said something along the lines of "Dude, this test requires no actual knowledge. Its all logic, which is something I'm good at already. So I didn't study for this."
...And he got up in the middle of the test and walked out. Guess he wasn't as good at logic as he assumed he was.

Dec 11 test.
Older lady comes into test area with her giant bag of pencils. I understand this, I also had more than a handful of #2s. She proceeded to stuff them into her shirt/bra, pointy end up. The proctor asked "Are you sure that is safe???". I don't remember her response, but she took the test with a dozen of them sticking out of her shirt, ready to puncture her face.
What is even the point of that??? It's not like they're easier to reach that way. WTF.Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

probably a calculated distraction to throw off other test-takers, haNorth wrote:I don't know, I think she might have been on to something. Having all 36 of you perfectly sharpened pencils in your shirt prevents you from having to worry about accidentally knocking them all off the tiny desk in the middle of an LG section.
Hmm, I wonder, what was so distracting that you forgot what she said?rebexness wrote:I know I posted this in a waiting thread, but its quality enough, imho, to repeat.
