I just received an email from lsac saying the answer sheets from my test center (sep 2016) were stolen so I will have to either take a makeup test on the 8th of october or wait until december!

I'm wondering if this happened to anyone else and if there is any specificity to makeup LSATs that I should be wary of??

    @hazelverdin194 hypothesis: to quickly use that as someone else's answer sheet?

    Right like what would the point even be

    phenomenon: someone steals LSAC answer sheet

    why?

    hypothesis: to quickly use that as someone else's answer sheet?

    ??? lost in transit I understand. stolen?

    alt hypothesis: LSAC trying to use different words to obscure the same thing happening over and over again: them fucking up.

    at least you get a second shot! that's pretty cool. good luck!

    @pcoelho113, que foda isso! Brasil já tem tão poucos applications pra J.D. por ano e o LSAC ainda faz um negócio desses. Mas, como a galera já falou mais pra cima, bora pensar positivo, que vai dar certo! Boa sorte para vc e espero que dê tudo certo!

    @476.rizeq It's nullified either way. It won't be scored.

    Yes this is horrible and so not fair. What is the reasoning behind this still being a paper exam?

    This is so terrible. I am so sorry this happened. It's nice to try to look on the bright side, but you have every right to be upset at this situation - as well as the other testers affected. LSAC shows absolutely no mercy for things like this, but they drop the ball regularly. Sad.

    @bondo007man235 LSAC really needs to make this exam computerized.

    Shhhhhh let's not speak of such things!

    @bondo007man235 What happens if the exams show up after you retest?

    It's nullified either way. It won't be scored.

    Oh my god. That's crazy! But you should definitely look at the bright side. You have another chance to kill it that many others don't. If you did it once you can definitely do it again!

    Best of luck on the retake.

    I just died 5x while reading this thread. This is by far my greatest fear. LSAC really needs to make this exam computerized. What happens if the exams show up after you retest?

    Are you kidding me? AGAIN? Jeez, LSAC needs to stop focusing on people stealing (illegally downloading) practice tests and direct their attention towards those stealing actual tests.

    @476.rizeq . If this was in USA I'd say hey no computer virus game

    That computer virus game gave me an instant virus during the test.

    That is crazy. I like the idea of looking at this positively. You got a free trial run of the LSAT without using a take. You are one of a select few to do this. Take this practice and go kill it on the retake! The admissions committee will get the letter from LSAC explaining the delay. That should mitigate any problems with a later application.

    Haha, gotcha. First read of a few of these comments, and they made it seem to me initially that it was the same test. I couldn't believe it.

    Lol no @danielznelson160. Completely different test. If this was in USA I'd say hey no computer virus game :D but it's still an unfortunate situation.

    So they have to administer the same test, right?

    This sucks, no question about it. I'm big on silver linings though and think at this point you should look at this as another chance to do even better! Consider Saturday's just a practice run. Now you know what to expect AND you know what you need to work on.
