If you're really scared about it, request a hand grading.Kess wrote:So I erased a few things (probably stupidly because I more often than not when I erase I change from right answer to wrong answer) and despite all my efforts, the bubble was still left a light gray. What are the chances those questions will not be marked?
Well, I tend to run on the paranoid side. In taking scantron tests at college, erasing always leaves light gray marks and it hasn't been a problem. I am just wondering if LSAT scantrons are more sensitive than unusual? In any case, I can still request this after my score, right?kahechsof wrote:If you're really scared about it, request a hand grading.Kess wrote:So I erased a few things (probably stupidly because I more often than not when I erase I change from right answer to wrong answer) and despite all my efforts, the bubble was still left a light gray.

Oh thanks, I didn't know that! This was my first (and hopefully last) LSAT and I thought they simply write your answers out. That's what my Testmasters course did.The Gentleman wrote:Not a whole lot of need to worry about this. You can view the pdf of your bubble sheet when the test is released. Just double check your bubble sheet against your official score sheet to make sure that they match up, and if they don't then fork over the $$$ to have it hand graded.
I did plenty of erasing when I took the test and had no problems at all. Good luck!Kess wrote:Oh thanks, I didn't know that!

The technology has advanced quite a bit since I was in HS, and it's pretty good at getting the test taker's intent if there are erasures, incomplete bubbles, and a bit of not coloring in the lines. The LSAC's machines are top quality, so I wouldn't worry about it. Check it, for sure, but don't worry about it.Kess wrote:I am just wondering if LSAT scantrons are more sensitive than unusual?
