I am traveling by train from out of town to my test center, so I will have a backpack with me. Do most test centers have storage lockers/rooms for students with a backpack? I will have my phone and some person items in my backpack.

And bring your ziplock with you when you take practice tests too! It actually becomes a source of comfort...like your trusty weapons to fight LSAT evil. :)
Yep. always err on the side of caution. I wouldn't risk bringing a backpack!
the rules seems excessive. i mean i get the cell phone rule so that it's quiet during the test but LSAC needs to chill.

Thanks for your reply.
Didn't expect this...kind of worried that would look weird.
(or get some bag that I can throw away...)
What if we need something on the way? We have to throw them away before enter the test center?
Yes and yes.
Hi,
I have a question about this....
So when people go to the test center,
they just bring the zip in hands...??

No. No cell phones allowed even near the testing center. Leave everything aside from your ziplock at home!
Thank you, everybody! I think I will just have to leave my bag at the train station.
I agree, at my testing center, no bags, other than your Ziplock bag was permitted. @jhaldy10325.lu2017

Yeah be careful with this. While some proctors may allow an exception, the rules are clear about what is allowed and a backpack is not listed. It is legitimate grounds upon which to deny you entrance to the test, so really not a great thing to gamble on.
I think technically they are not supposed to provide storage space, or allow you in with a backpack. There are however numerous stories on the forums about centers that allowed students to store backpacks at the front of the room, behind the proctors, so I guess it greatly depends on the individual center.
Your best bet might be to look into renting a locker at the train station, if you absolutely have to bring the backpack.
