What kind of room: The first time I took the test here in June 2014, the classroom was adjacent to a busy intersection, and there was construction nearby. The second time, in February 2015, I was placed in a large auditorium style classroom tucked away from the busy intersection.

Other comments: As long as you are placed in a good classroom, everything should be fine for this test location

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: June 2014, and February 2015

Proctors: I found the proctors to be very professional. They made the instructions clear and they were quiet during testing time. They all seemed to be calm, and that helped me to feel calm as well.

Facilities: the facilities were great. I wrote in a newer building (CCIS building). The room I was in was close to many bathrooms, which were very clearly marked.

What kind of room: I was in a big theatre-style lecture hall. It had good lighting and was very spacious.

How many in the room: approximately 100 people.

Desks: the room had 3 sections of long tables on the left, right and middle of the room with many rows. I lucked out and had nobody down my entire table and I was front row in the middle section. Even with people sharing rows of tables, there was plenty of room.

Irregularities or mishaps: none

Would you take the test here again? yes! I had no test center hiccups, which helped with my nerves.

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

Hi everyone. Silly question, but I hope y'all can help me out. About a month ago, I found a website -- that I can no longer remember the name of, and it doesn't show up in my browser history -- that laid out each LR question type and, if I recall correctly, a guide on what to do when you're down to two answers: i.e. when it's this question type, it'll almost always be an answer within this scope, or with this degree of modality, etc. Let me know if this rings a bell or if you can redirect me to this (or to a similar and free) resource. Thank you!

Proctors:

Friendly, but didn't give 5 minute warning

Facilities:

Fine

What kind of room:

Small Classroom

How many in the room:

20 something

Desks:

small individual desks with attached chairs

Left-handed accommodation:

N/A

Noise levels:

Fairly quiet

Parking:

N/A

Time elapsed from arrival to test:

A little over half an hour

Other Comments:

I was placed in one room and after I got settled I was moved to another

Would you take the test here again?

Only if I knew I'd have better desks

Date of Exam: 06/8/2015

Proctors: 5 proctors total, with 2 in the back watching. Overall very good. Stuck to the time well, gave clear instructions, announced 5 minute warnings. Only drawback was the proctor who passed out the test forms excruciatingly slowly.

Facilities: Facilities are comfortable. Bathroom wasn't too far away, chairs are comfortable, rooms are well-lit. Bring a watch though, it's hard to see the clock from certain areas of the room.

What kind of room: Medium sized rooms divided into three sections (left, right, middle) that all face towards the front and center.

How many in the room: ~50 in my room. There weren't many people, and it was very spacious. They staggered seating so that you have empty seats on either side.

Desks: My favorite part! LOTS of room for you. They don't have individual desks, they have one long desk for an entire row. Plus, no people on either side of you so you can fan out all of your items to your heart's content.

Left-handed accommodation: Doesn't apply, the desks are for both right and left handed folk.

Noise levels: The only noise came from the other test takers (flipping paper, coughing, sneezing, yawning). But since there weren't too many people, the noise was minimal. The area itself is secluded enough that you won't hear urban noises from the classroom.

Parking: I'm not sure exactly how large the parking lot is since I personally took a cab, but AU provides parking for test takers.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: They start checking you in and putting you into rooms when you arrive. So if you arrive earlier, you will start earlier and vice versa. I would say ~20-30 minutes.

Irregularities or mishaps: None.

Would you take the test here again?: YES! This is a great test center, with ample room, good temp, no noise, and competent proctors. What more can you ask for? (Other than an easy exam, of course)

Date[s] of Exam[s]: December '15

Hey does anyone have good links or a list for the different type of cookie cutter questions? I know there's the oldest trick in the book and the like, but I'm drawing blanks on everything else. I'd love to get as many as these together to drill and foolproof them!

Proctors: Militaristic. No nonsense. There was a lead proctor, and four others. Instructions were clear, time keeping was on point, and generally they did a great job.

Facilities: Very clean, well maintained.

What kind of room: Stadium seating, large lecture hall type of room.

How many in the room: Over 50.

Desks: A single long desk that accommodated 5 or more students per row. Chairs were anchored to the desks. Were not the most comfortable.

Left-handed accommodation: Not needed due to nature of desks not being for each individual student.

Noise levels: Extremely quiet.

Parking: Excellent and easy. Huge parking lot right outside of the building where the exam is administered. Parking is free

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 90 Minutes approximately, did not really keep track of this.

Irregularities or mishaps: Someone came dangerously close to being asked to leave the exam for working after time expired.

Other comments: No brainer if you are in Suffolk County, I heard horror stories from people at Hofstra (huge campus with a ton of buildings), so probably a better choice for Nassau residents as well.

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: June, 2015

Proctors: 4-5

Facilities: 2 story - testing upstrairs, split into different rooms based on last name

Hi, I have finished my personal statement. It is meant to be of the "overcoming adversity" variety. Is anyone willing to chime in with some feedback? I was told it was too long, but I am struggling with what to cut out. Any critique would be greatly appreciated!!!

PM if willing and I will send it. Thank you

Proctors: The proctors were great and very thorough about all of the rules. When you first walk into the building they check for phones and check your bag. Several people were sent away because of this.

Facilities:

Clean, easy to find facilities.

Classroom

How many in the room: 9

Yes, left handed desks

No noise at all. Proctors even went around the room telling people to stop tapping their pencils on the desk

Parking:

Ample parking approximately 2 min walk to testing room

Date[s] of Exam[s]: I took it here on June.

Proctors: Three very nice facilitators from the college

Facilities: Very new, private test taking room. Everyone sat in small carrels/cubicles so you could not see anyone else or be distracted. Plenty of room on the desk for extra pencils, sharpener, watch. They would not let you keep a water bottle or kleenex on the desk though.

Left-handed accommodation: Yes

Noise levels: Very quiet

Parking: N/A

Time elapsed from arrival to test: We started promptly.

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

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.

What kind of room: Mock Trial Room

How many in the room: approximately 100

Desks: Long forum desks with room for one person in between every test taker

Left-handed accommodation: N/A

Noise levels: Low (However, there was a ventilator running due to lack of windows to circulate air in the room which can be distracting to the ones close to it)

Parking: Available close by the building, $6-7 dollar flat rate on weekends

Time elapsed from arrival to test: approximately 25 to 30 mins. Smooth transition.

Irregularities or mishaps: A student didn't receive a writing section paper by the time we got to it and had to wait for the student to be accommodated. Many students felt that Section 3 was cut short so they allowed 2 minutes extra.

Other comments: Compared to a previous facility (Madonna Catholic Secondary School), much efficient administering of the test overall.

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: February 2016

Proctors: Pretty good overall. Stuck to time, no errors with the alarm (had my own watch so it wasn't really an issue). Friendly and gave clear instructions. Had spare pencils as well.

Facilities: OK. Pretty old building and the layout is somewhat confusing. Could only find one bathroom (can fit maybe 7 people at the same time).

What kind of room: auditorium with those swivel desks.

How many in the room: 25ish or so.

Desks: swivel type, not that much space. leave the booklet on your lap.

Left-handed accommodation: didn't notice any.

Noise levels: none, dead quiet.

Parking: Unknown. Looks like there were some street level parking. I took public transit.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 15 minutes. Proctor wanted to wait a bit for people to show up, we had about 1/3 absentee.

Irregularities or mishaps: none

Other comments: This place ran slightly cold. This was summer so AC was probably on full-blast. Pack a light sweater if testing in June.

Would you take the test here again? Yes because its easy to get to.

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

Proctors: Two at the front of the room.

Facilities: In the basement of the University Community Center. There's around 5-6 rooms in total, all full.

Left-handed accommodation: not sure

Noise levels: Low in the room. But also depends on the people taking the test with you.

Parking: Paid parking available in the back of the community center.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 30 min. Test administered on time.

Irregularities or mishaps: None, except for proctor whispering to coordinate test procedure. Also, proctor was unfamiliar with procedure (she thought we couldn't go back to a prior page in the same section) so future test takers, please be familiar with the procedure.

Other comments: Lots of people (70+), so can be crowded during registration. If you're a student from uwo, very likely to bump into people you know, if you care about that.

Would you take the test here again? Yes.

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

Proctors: 2 proctors. Very good, only one minor complaint. See noise levels.

Facilities: Community college campus in suburbs

What kind of room: Classroom

How many in the room: 15

Desks: Not great -- the kind where the seats are connected to the desk. Not wobbly, decent desk size. Had to put the answer sheet behind the packet.

Left-handed accommodation: None.

Noise levels: Very low. The proctors whispered to each other at the very end of the test, which was annoying -- but I was the closest student to them. I doubt that anybody else in the classroom heard. Otherwise, they were very great.

Parking: Plenty of dedicated parking on campus, only a few minutes walking from the building where the test was given.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 5 hours. I was towards the end of the line to be placed into a classroom, there were others that finished over an hour before our classroom did. I was starving by the end of it.

Irregularities or mishaps: None.

Other comments: None.

Would you take the test here again? Yes.

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

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

Proctors: Proctors were overall very nice. In fact I remember that on my test day there was construction happening across the street. Honestly I didn't really hear it but the proctors told us before the test specifically that they were aware of it and had even sent students across the street to ask if they could delay their work until after the test or at least keep the volume to a minimum. I thought this was incredibly nice of them and showed that they really did care about creating a quiet testing environment

Facilities: Restrooms were pretty small I remember. There's a few of them scattered throughout the various levels of the building but each has only maybe one or two stalls inside so if you have to use the restroom before the test or during a break it might take a bit as I recall there being a bit of a line. Other than that the building was nice and cool (some people needed jackets, I was fine and preferred the a/c and cool classrooms) and the classrooms were really nice as well

What kind of room: Size of a 20-25 person classroom. Mine was on the third floor in a very quiet building

How many in the room: About 10-15 students per room

Desks: Huge desks! A full table for each person!

Left-handed accommodation: N/A, you get a huge desk

Noise levels: Very quiet throughout. The building is nice and quiet and nobody seemed to be around for miles on campus on the day of the test

Parking: Parking was pretty easy, much if it is nearby the building itself. Signage was put up so not hard to find. There didn't seem to be very much parking as I recall as far as number of spaces but I got there early so it wasn't an issue.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Arrived at around 7:45am and we went into the room by about 8:15-8:30 if I recall correctly and I want to say that the test started around 9am. Really rough times since this was so long ago now but I remember waiting in the building for probably at least 30 minutes before getting into the room

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Other comments: Pretty good location to take a test. I'm from a much larger university within an hour of redlands and didn't want to take it at my school because I've been in the ridiculously large lecture halls with their small desks and knew that wasn't going to be fun. Super glad I went to Redlands

Would you take the test here again? Definitely. From the quiet rooms and campus, the super nice proctors, and the huge desks honestly I doubt you could ask for a more perfect testing center

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

Hi, everyone! I'm retaking in December but am forcing myself to halt LSAT prep for a week to start working on my PS. I hope to have a first rough draft complete by Monday, and I'd love to get feedback from a variety of sources. Would anyone be willing to trade essays with me to give and receive some constructive feedback? Please PM if so :)

And if you don't have an essay to give me, but you want to read/critique mine, let me know!
