Proctors: Both were very professional. In my room which held about 30-40 students, there were two proctors.

Facilities: It was held in SU Sullivan Hall, their law school. Very nice and new building. Bathrooms throughout and close to classrooms.

What kind of room: Large classrooms, set up stadium style, with desks quite like tables, rolling chairs.

How many in the room: 30-40 students per classroom

Desks: Large table-like desks. Stadium seating. Seated every other chair, so there was an entire table for one tester, and space to spread out booklets, etc.

Left-handed accommodation: I am not a leftie, but with the seating arrangement, I am sure it would've been no problem.

Noise levels: SCARY SILENT.

Parking: Easy on a Saturday to find paid garage parking.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 1 hour, 15 minutes. 30 minutes to check in, standing in line, 45 waiting in the room to start testing after listening to instructions, had 3 late admitted arrivals.

Irregularities or mishaps: None.

Other comments: Great experience.

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: 12/5/15

The proctor was really good, spoke slowly, and made sure everyone was ready. She didn't rush the test, but gave us a second before starting the timer again before the start of each new section. From time of arrival to test, it took about half an hour to have everything in working order. Everything was in good order, the the room had good lighting and space. The only problem I had was that the clock was too far away for me to be able to tell the time, which was a bit of a disadvantage for me especially since I didn't have an analog watch. There were around 40 people taking the test in that room, and more desks which were relatively comfortable. There weren't any left handed accommodations, they were standard wooden desks separated from each other. Noise level was perfect, nothing disturbing. The college is really really big so hard to find your way around, especially when I went in September 2014, when there was almost no one to ask for directions. There was plenty of parking space. It was a little far for me to get there from Milton, but if it were close by I could definitely test there again in the same environment.

The proctor went a little fast for me. She kind of rushed the paper work in the beginning, and before the start of a section she would start the timer a little too fast for me to be able to let my brain catch up at the end of the section. The facilities were good, the room was relatively well lighted, the clock was within a distance where I could easily discern the time, and the tables which were long wooden ones in rows with 2 to 3 people each were relatively comfortable. There were about 40 people in the room. I did not see any left handed accommodation but of course that was also because they were just desks and you had room enough to lean to the left or right in order to take the test, whichever your comfortable with. Noise level was good and minimal. I got a ride there so I'm not too sure how the parking was like. It didn't take long for us to start the test after completing the initial paperwork. Less than 20 minutes. There was one mishap, which was during my break when one of the test takers in front of me was called outside with his test because he had been in possession with a digital watch which the proctor failed to notice despite the fact that it was on the table. I'm not sure I would want to take the test there again, it was too far and everything felt too rushed. Our group was the first to finish the test and things seemed slightly disorganized. I took the test there in December 2014.

Proctors: One proctor in the room, her accent was quite strong but she spoke very slowly so I was still able to understand her.

Facilities: The LSAT was on one floor of the building, very easy to find with multiple testing rooms.

What kind of room: The room was small but everyone had an entire desk to themselves and there were plenty of windows, so the lighting was perfect. Also had a beautiful view of the North Shore mountains and the Lion's Gate bridge so that wasn't too bad either ;)

How many in the room: I think there were about 8 people writing the exam in one room, which was great because it didn't feel crowded at all.

Desks: Desks were huge! And there was only one person per desk, so tons of room!

Left-handed accommodation: N/A

Noise levels: Perfect. I was worried that with the test centre being downtown there would be a lot of traffic/construction noise but it was silent.

Parking: I got a ride down, but I imagine you'd be paying an arm and a leg if you decide to park. It is downtown Vancouver after all :/

Time elapsed from arrival to test: ~30 mins

Irregularities or mishaps: N/A

Other comments: I'd highly recommend this location over BCIT or UBC if you live in the Lower Mainland. Very few people chose this location in comparison.

Would you take the test here again?: I will never take the LSAT again for as long as I live. But if someone put a gun to my head, then yes, I'd chose this location again :D

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Saturday, October 3rd, 2015

Proctors: The proctors were very nice but also very strict about items allowed in the room. I was forced to throw away an energy drink because it had text on the outside and many people were similarly asked to throw away food items, etc.

Facilities: Very easy to navigate. There were restrooms, drinking fountains, and other facilities typical of a campus building.

What kind of room: It was a typical law forum room shaped in a semi-circle with tiered row seating.

How many in the room: About 20 test takers

Desks: Continuous desks throughout each row which provided more than enough room to feel comfortable.

Left-handed accommodation: Yes.

Noise levels: Low.

Parking: Parking was fairly straight forward and easy. The meters to buy your parking pass were sort of difficult to find at first but they're located near the elevators. Parking only cost about $5 for 12 hours so it was relatively cheap.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About 30-45 minutes.

Irregularities or mishaps: Someone's phone went off during the test and he was removed. Leave your phone in your car, it's not worth the risk!

Other comments: The classroom was very comfortable and the "continuous" desks in the room provided substantial room.

Would you take the test here again? Yes, absolutely.

Date[s] of Exam[s]:

February 2016

Proctors: The main test administrator and proctors were hires by LSAC for administering the test at this site. They were no affiliated with the law school. One of the proctors who was sort of an assistant wasn't very competent. She was asked to read the instructions before the start of the section from the test booklet like proctors are supposed to do and she had trouble reading basic english sentences and couldn't pronounce certain words. She also interrupted me just as the test began about something related to seating, which affected me during the section. If she had any questions, she should have finished them before the section began. Other than that, proctors were typically quiet as the test was going on.

Facilities: Restrooms are located on the same floor as the test rooms. They weren't crowded during the break.

What kind of room: The test was held in several small rooms. Each room had about 20 desks and for my test administration they seated 1 person on each desk. But for more recent test administrations, they seem to have taken to seating 2 people per desk which can make it very crowded. I would suggest any taking there first call the JFKU law school and ask about seating only 1 per desk. This crowded seating was the reason I didn't retake at the same location.

How many in the room: About 20/room when I took. For later tests, about 40/room.

Desks: About 4-5ft long desk.

Left-handed accommodation:i am not lefty so don't know. My guess is that based on the type of desks the rooms had, it shouldn't make a difference.

Noise levels: Very quiet.

Parking: Plenty of free parking right outside the building.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About 1 hour.

Irregularities or mishaps: I had the proctor interrupt me just as I was beginning the test, which threw me off for the rest of section and test. During later administrations during Oct 2015, I heard the proctors had trouble arranging rooms, and so they overcrowded test takers on desks.

Other comments: Fine test center except for bad seating and poor proctoring.

Would you take the test here again? Not unless they can fix the seating so there is only 1 person /desk. 2/desk is took crowded and distracting.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: June 2014

I am planning to take June and JFKU is one of the few centers nearby. However, I heard the seating at JFKU law in both Oct and February was very bad and multiple people were seated on the same desk.

If you took the test at JFKU recently, can you describe how seating was for you or message me?

Other Comments:

Would you take the test here again?

Only if I knew I'd have better desks

Date of Exam: 06/8/2015

Proctors: They were friendly. Did their job well in keeping everybody separated by one chair between each test taker and verified materials that were brought into the room.

Facilities: Test Center was located off campus in a small strip mall in a small building owned by the school. Clean and comfortable but kind of chilly. Take a sweater.

What kind of room: it was a big open room with various long tables as opposed to desks. There were about 5 test takers at each table with a chair in between each.

How many in the room: I think there were about 25 people

Desks: None, just long tables.

Left handed accommodations: Not sure what this means but, ok,sure.

Parking: ample parking.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: about 20 minutes

Irregularities or mishaps: I initially thought the test was on campus so I was wandering around campus looking for the test center. When I finally arrived to the testing center, they said it was off campus. I was almost late. Another thing that happened was that some guy showed up without a passport photo. He wanted to leave to go get a picture as required and they would not let him because he would have been late. He was unable to test that day.

Would you test here again?: no, I took my LSAT the first time here and the second time I went about a half hour further to get to another testing center. I'll review that one later.

Date of Exam: June 2015

Proctors: Very unprofessional. My proctor kept making jokes leading up to the exam and asking us personal questions. If I am about to take the most important test of my life, please take it seriously. She just made a lot of unnecessary side comments while going through the directions in the beginning, which was extremely annoying and distracting.

Facilities: I took it in the basement classrooms in Frelinghuysen. It's a basement for a reason. It was absolutely freezing during the exam. I kept my jacket on the whole time, which was really uncomfortable, but I had no choice because it was either I kept my jacket on or I froze to death.

What kind of room: Classroom.

How many in the room: Around 40.

Desks: Tiny. They are the desks connected to the chair. Barely any room to keep your booklet open and your answer sheet next to it.

Left-handed accommodation: I am not sure if there were left-handed desks in the room.

Noise levels: Not too bad. The room was small, especially for the amount of people in it, so it felt really crowded and stuff in there and you could hear everyone's little movements.

Parking: I got dropped off. The parking lot next to the Student Activities Center was full when I got there. Most people came from their dorms though.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: A lot of time. It was an extremely inefficient use of our time. The line was so long because no one knew that there was a second line if you went down the stairs. There were two different check-in points but they didn't make that clear whatsoever.

Irregularities or mishaps: When I got there, the line was out the door, so we were standing in the rain for 30 minutes before getting inside. I waited in the second line that was down the stairs because I thought it was another check-in. That line took another 30-40 minutes, and when I got to the front, she told me that that desk/line was the same thing as the one upstairs. So I wasted that time waiting in line instead of getting in the right mindset for the exam. By the time I got in the classroom, we waited another 30 minutes for the last people in those lines to get checked in. Overall, it was a complete mess and the worst way to begin test day.

Other comments: My proctor let someone go to the bathroom after they entered the test room (which you're not supposed to do), and then 6 more people said, "Can I go to?" so we waited another 20 minutes for all of those students to go to the bathroom when you're not even supposed to leave the classroom as soon as you get in unless you go to the bathroom during the exam. Just shows how unprofessional the proctors were and serious they were taking the exam.

Would you take the test here again? Not at all. Please, sign up to take it at another school. It's not worth your time and money to take it at a place that will waste your time and money.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: October 2015

Proctors: The proctors were the school staff and were reasonable. The main supervisor did announcements regarding test instructions from the podium in the lecture hall over the mic so everybody could hear it. The test was done in a very large lecture Hall and all the test takers were in that single big hall.

Facilities: The restrooms were right outside the lecture hall. It got crowded during the break and there was a small line in front of the restrooms, but not something that was too bad.

What kind of room: The Hall was very large with seating for about 300-500 people, but test takers were seated so that one seat between consecutive test takers was left empty. This was almost necessary as else the test takers would have been seated too close. There were around 100-150 test takers in the hall.

How many in the room: ~100-150

Desks: The desks were long continuous lecture hall style of seating. The chairs were individual and height-adjustable.

Left-handed accommodation: Not left handed so I can't tell, but the desk chair style didn't appear to pose an issue for left-handedness.

Noise levels: The nature of large lecture Hall meant that there could be people sneezing, coughing, sniffling at times. I happened to get the wrong seat where two test takers right next to me were sick and were sneezing for various sections of the test. This did distract me in the middle of a very tough section as it got louder. Other than test takers noises, there wasn't any other noise.

Parking: Right next to the lecture Hall room. The parking is marked with a notice that it requires parking permit, but they said one could park there. It would have been better if they put up a notice next to parking notice that the LSAT test takers could park there during the duration of the test.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About an hour.

Irregularities or mishaps: None that I noticed.

Other comments: The only main issue was noise from other sick test takers due to the nature of the large Lecture Hall

Would you take the test here again? likely yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Dec 2015

I noticed that the graph in the LSAT Analytics page that displays your section performance over various PTs has two different curves for Logical Reasoning. I don't see why this should be so. The curves make no distinction between the two LR sections on each test, nor should there be one in my opinion. I can't glean any insights from a curve if I don't know what dataset it represents, and there doesn't seem to be any relevant distinction between the two LR datasets. So would it be possible to combine those two curves into one that represents the total amount of LR questions missed on each PT?

Hi guys,

I am planning on taking the LSAT in Sept and was wondering if anyone knows what the Marymount University in Alrington, VA testing center is like? I want to go there to do some practice tests but I'm not sure which rooms they used. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

In the link below, can someone explain number 8? The comments don't provide a clear answer, and I have no idea what it means. It makes no sense how dull means "placing demands on readers" to me

I've created 2 new listicles for you this week.

Reactions Everyone Has to LSAT Logical Reasoning https://classic.7sage.com/reactions-everyone-has-to-lsat-logical-reasoning/

I just got my LSAT score. My UGPA is between Harvard's 25/50 and my LSAT score was 170. Now I'm very worried about my chances at Harvard. If I were American, I would be an AA male. But since I am not American I don't know how much of a boost I'll get. My goal is patent law and I am in the last year of a Stem PhD. Should I prep for September or should I take my chances with 170? Oh men. The curve was -11. Why couldn't it be -13?

I am looking for a group of individuals who would like to work together during the blind review process. I attend Fordham University and I can get us a small study room with a white board and everything else that is needed. Looking for a dedicated and serious bunch of people who are ready to kill the LSAT together!

Anyone want to blind review or want to study together that is from Westchester or NYC?

Is it just me or does PT B (February 1999) from the SuperPrep series seem more difficult than all other PrepTests? If so do you guys have any ideas on why this is? Maybe I just had a brain fart really struggled with this one haha

I'm looking for a study buddy in Chicago who would be willing to meet in person maybe 1-2 evenings a week. I'm prepping for the September LSAT and would prefer to work with someone already scoring at least in the 160s but I'm pretty flexible. Send me a message if interested!

Who's going this Saturday??

I'm going and would love to meet up with some fellow 7Sagers!
