LSAT Timer

Post by carasrook » Fri Jan 08, 2016 5:05 pm

Hey everybody!

This is my first post to the forum, so apologies if this is an overdone topic. All I noticed were advertisements for these sorts of watches, but I wanted to check on the validity of them.

The LSAC website only specifies 'analog' watches. I'm considering purchasing one of these watches with the four different sections - http://lsatwatch.webs.com/apps/webstore ... ow/1229879.

Can someone confirm whether or not these are okay to use during the June 2016 LSAT?

Thanks :D

Those will do fine! As long as they are analog, you're good. Digital watches generally just list out the time in numbers, while analog watches have three hands on a circle, like a traditional clock. Also, remember that you're not allowed to bring your cellphone to the testing center. Good luck!

Keep in mind, you could just buy any analog watch with a rotating bezel, and mark the time for each section with a sharpie. That's what I did. The watch was cheaper, the battery lasted longer, and it was actually just as quick (if not quicker) to reset between each sections with the bezel.

Just my $0.02. I think the "LSAT watches" are sort of a rip off.

I used one (from this site) for the October test, no problems. I found it really useful actually, really glad I spent the money. Having the instant visual of what section I needed to be on at that moment as well as a small buffer at the end to fill in blanks or review was worth the small cost.

Thanks all! I actually bought a Casio with a rotating bezel. Cheaper and I don't have to worry about resetting it every time.
