Most administers of the test require you to sign and date your ticket when your check in. I wouldn't do it before hand. I signed mine inbetween getting my finger print done and someone looking at my ID and they almost turned me away to print off another ticket.

I was just stopping by to check the confidence thread, lol, but also checked this.

I don't know if your LSAT ticket is different than mine (I'm testing in Canada) - but mine clearly reads: "Do not sign this ticket prior to the test. You will be asked to sign your ticket during the check-in process on the day of the test." In bold. Underneath the signature/print name thing.
What have you done to get ready for the morning?

I have 9 sharpened pencils, a pencil sharpener, my keys, my wallet, my analog watch, one logic game, one RC passage and a couple LR questions resting atop my admissions ticket. My clothes are all layed out including my belt, and my one litre freezy bag is on the fridge with my snack and water.

Did I forget anything? :mrgreen:

I finished HP 5 and started on HP 6.

For serious, I have my bag packed with Clif bars, pencils, an eraser, a pencil sharpener (although I intend to not sharpen my pencils but rather just put down a pencil when it becomes dull and pick up my next one since I have a set of 12 pre-sharpened ones...), my ticket printed out with my photo on it (Canadian version of finger printing), my wallet, keys, etc...

I honestly don't even know what I'm going to do for prep in the morning. I think I might do a logic game, a passage, and a few LR questions like you mentioned... and a few pages of HP6... eh. I'm feeling pretty calm about this all though.

P.S. You know you can have a 3.79 or something liter bag, right? It's one gallon, not one liter.

are we allowed to post about previous already published LSAT's in general?

obviously there may be a make up test or something so you can't do that, but is it also a fear of violating copyright? for example, many people post questions about questions on previous LSATs. is it cool legally to participate?

Unless you skipped a bubble (i.e. the other 23 are not aligned with their corresponding questions) then you should be fine.

You're totally right. I've been sick lately so I haven't been in the mood to actually read stuff. I saw your post this morning and had to print out another.

I had dos LG sections and I felt I destroyed both. mine was LR, LG, RC, break, LR, LG
I had exactly the same order(LR, LG 1, RC, break, LR, LG 2)
I made a mistake on last section of LG 2.
By the time I realized I made a mistake on setup, I only had about 3 min left, too little to review all the answers again.

I'm hoping that the LG 2 was the experiment, but I've heard that usaully one of the first 3 section is experiment so I'm probably out of luck.
or Would luck be my lady? :D

Nope. There hasn't been a post-break experimental since 1991, AFAIK.

Debating whether or not to study between now and the arrival of the scores in nov. to determine whether or not i should retake in december...

Ive done all the tests available, felt good on this test, and have completely exhausted all real lsat material... dont know what good looking over old tests again and again will do for me =/

That's what I'm doing. If I get my score and like it I'll just stop studying...but if it sucks I won't have enough time unless I study from now until scores come out soo...

You sound like you were pretty much as prepared as you could be though so it may be different for you.

my lsat buddy was telling me that it would make sense to maybe cool it with prep for like 2 weeks or so, just bc there is no more material left to study so perhaps if i forgot the material a bit, it would kind of still function as prep material.

its amazing that over 5 months i was able to memorize games/patterns, inferences in LR's, and answers to qeustions in over 50+ tests. I think that by itself is merit of some kind of medal/award/trophy .... something... gift card to radio shack at least.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
