I noticed a few days ago that it says "please write (do not print) the following statement." Is this still on current tests? i ask this because i never learned how to write in cursive, also does the written portion of the lsat have to been in cursive? thanks.

Are you kidding me?

1. Yes, technically, but it doesn't really matter.
2. No, and no one will read it anyway.

Yea it's supposed to be in cursive. Just mash your letters together :) Seriously, they don't care.

I somehow remember that the current test does NOT say cursive is required.

Either way, no one cares. This has been debated a lot, and no one's ever gotten in trouble because their statment was printed. I, for one, can't write anything longer than my name in cursive.

Does this mean I'm a freak for always writing in cursive?

My proctor specified to just write in your NORMAL hand writing. She said that by do not print they mean do not write in all caps, for instance, or a writing that is unintelligible from your standard hand writing.
