Dr. Dre, will you add this to the OP? I think it's exactly testimonials like these that we need to let everyone know about.CR2012 wrote:My only regret during my LSAT prep was that I didn't take the time to purchase quality pencils for my first take. I only realized this after receiving my second score and putting two and two together.
Sorry for the testimonial, I just really appreciate the work that is being done ITT for future test takers.
I don't disagree with you, it could prove annoying... but consider the following: I really only sharpen my pencil 3-6 times per PT, at a maximum of one square inch of shavings per sharpening (a little more than 20mm, the circumference of my pencil), meaning I produce at most 6 square inches of shavings, which I—inconsiderate sod that I am—won't mind just just sweeping off my desk onto the ground (I'll probably try to make it look like an accident) then disposing of them properly after my test. That seems like less hassle than going with a sharpener with which I don't feel 100% comfortable.ManoftheHour wrote:I don't know how I feel about that...mlansky wrote: I usually have a trash can nearby or make a mini-pile that I dispose of during my break/after the test. I'm aware that this might be a handicap I should eliminate prior to the actual test, but none of the sharpeners with compartments has really won me over, they seem to loosen the graphite or sharpen at too acute an angle or some such annoyance...
I'll probably buy one with a compartment. The mini-pile will drive me nuts. What if I accidentally cough and all that shit goes everywhere?
With that said, my sharpener sucks. Does anyone know which sharpener is best? It absolutely HAS to have a compartment for the shavings.

Amazon has the 602s and pencils.com has all the Palomino brands. I haven't seen them in other stores.rebexness wrote:Can you get those Palominos at -Mart type stores? Or do you need Amazon or an office supply store?

I suppose so. But yeah, I don't think I'd be comfortable enough with that. I need one with a compartment.

I bring mine presharpened. My sharpener is kind of TTT, I got it at Target.ManoftheHour wrote:

The Golden Bears are also pretty legit and probably the best value of the four in the picture at $2.51 for a dozen on pencils.com.
Now I need to find a better sharpener so I don't get shit everywhere.

Golden Bears' erasers are slightly larger than the regular Ticonderogas and smaller than the Tri-conderogas. 602s are a little easier to get small things because of the shape. All of them have similar material and erase the same mark equally.Dr. Dre wrote:A → B ⊨ ¬B → ¬A wrote:Just got the 602s and the Golden Bears in.

How are the attached erasers of the Golden Bears and Blackwings in comparison the the attached eraser of the black ticonderoga?

hmmm... It doesn't say on Amazon whether it's HB/No. 2... I suppose I'll wait until after June to get accustomed to a luxury pencil I'm not certain I'll be able to use on the LSAT.

fuck pens
These are fairly rare. Unlikely to find a box stores, or even chain office supply stores. You might get lucky at some independent office supply/stationary type places.rebexness wrote:Can you get those Palominos at -Mart type stores? Or do you need Amazon or an office supply store?
