Did you see her eat it? Maybe she's the LSAT MacGyver and fashioned a peeler from her pencil sharpener during the break.

I'm quite serious actually. She quickly placed him in the corner with her coat. And it slept most of the time. She took it outside during break.

Pretty sure that's allowed. Doesn't mean it's not ridiculous, though.
Never understood why highlighters are OK, but mechanical pencils aren't.

Not a student but a proctor: a cell phone.
Which rang.
And was answered.

Mechanical pencils are cheating devices devised by the devil to help more students get 170's.

Some little brainiac from MIT probably figured out a way to turn one into a 2-way communication device.

Which is impossible to do with a highlighter?

It's not that ridiculous, but my second time taking the LSAT people brought hooded sweatshirts and hats (obviously against the rules) and at least with the hoodies, people left them on during the test. I guess this is more a comment on the care given to the test by the proctors.
People who are dumb enough to use their cell phones during the LSAT break always amuse me.

When the proctor told the people in my group to take their hoodies off you could hear murmurs of "WTF NO HOODIES? WTF HOW STUPID AHH." Instructions are hard to follow. It was a very cold room too.

I followed all the rules, but our proctor pretty much told people they would not be dismissed for mechanical pencils after he asked who brought them and 15 people raised their hands...

The proctors were making fun of the contents of my baggie: two 5-hr energies, a red bull, a banana, cashews, 2 packs of tissue, about a billion pre-sharpened pencils, a pencil sharpener, my cracked but lucky wristwatch which I left in the bag because I was wearing another wristwatch, and I think I had one more thing....
I was also wearing my Illini croc flip flops (I thought I hated anyone that wore crocs but I've gone thru 3 pairs of these in the past couple years and keep coming back b/c they're the absolute best flip flops I've ever found), and my hair looked like I just rolled out of bed.
And my lips were slightly blue from my breakfast gatorade, but I don't think anyone noticed that but myself.

...a cavalier attitude. I had one guy tell me he took the LSAT years ago for the first time without studying, just to see how he'd do. That's an awful way to spend a Saturday morning and waste over $100...

One kid brought a suit, on him, obviously, not with him on a hanger. I kept thinking, "Why would you do that to yourself."

well my proctor apparently thought that it was ridiculous of me to bring a passport with the signature of 16 year old me and a ticket with the signature of 22 year old me. I was forced to cross out my first attempt at a signature during sign in in order to attempt to duplicate the way I signed my passport back in 10th grade.
He didn't seem to mind the girl wearing pants with the phrase "stuff goes in and stuff comes out" spelled out in rhinestones on her ass.
Another test taker was wearing a sweater with a stuffed Pikachu the size of a small melon sewed onto the shoulder (like a parrot).
