How do I take day off temp job for the June monday LSAT?

I have no official vaca days and I am too scared to risk it with a last minute sick day. I can’t do a drs note either since the test will last till about late afternoon and if its anything like my last one I will be an exhausted crying mess. What is a good excuse? I simply won’t get paid time which is fine, I just don’t want to get canned!

What kind of place are you working in if its not too personal?

It is a contractor temp job (such as a kelly temps or manpower) where I am not officially given personal days (paid nor unpaid) They can give them to me but its at their discretion. I don’t want to let them know and risk getting a “no” and then I have a conflict of job/lsat interest.

I have yet to ask for any days because unpaid is a huge loss money (in my opinion.)I am searching for fulltime with typical benefits but for now this pays the bills.

Nobody there is interested in law school nor grad school in general. I can call in sick (makes me nervous to pull this one). The other temps do not take days off. If they do, they work from home and answer emails/the phone all day. Grrr those goodie two shoes. I will try to see if I can do the dr thing. It would have to be for 430 pm lol! Or I like the personal day thing, maybe at times people have personal days where they cant answer emails like I will be on test day! Does that happen? Thanks so much everyone.
