Does anyone know if there is an issue with markings on the scantron sheet? I wasn't able to erase all of the circles, stars, and dashes i put next to the numbers before time was up.

I use scantrons in the classes that I TA and it picks up stray marks depending on how heavy they are. Call LSAC, but I'm not sure what you can do

As long as the stray marks aren't in the actual columns where the five A-E ovals/bubbles are/aren't really close to the bubbles but are to the side of the question #'s in the blank space between the bubbles columns, you'll be fine, it won't mess up or confuse LSAC's scoring machines. People put marks in the blank space next to question #'s on the answer sheet all the time and it doesn't cause any machine scoring problems, LSAC's scoring machines are fine tuned to only pay attention to marks in the areas where the bubbles are.

I've done this on every scantron I've ever used (including multiple lsats). As long as you erase the markings before passing it in, there won't be an issue.

Thanks, would stars/circles i made on the scantron be considered a violation or cheating of any sort?
