LSAC just emailed me back and they say that I can use an external monitor because "[it] is an extension of the MacBook."

I am sure you are right, and I don't know if I am going to push the issue, but the way it reads, "any separate monitors"--I feel like I could argue that the monitor is technically not separate (depending on how you define separate) because I'm using the monitor as a part of my computer setup--the external monitor would be the only monitor I use for the test (I wouldn't be using the MacBook Air monitor at all). I feel like the Proctors should be able to see that I'm not doing anything nefarious by using the monitor. I don't have a ton of money to drop on a nice desktop computer with a large screen, just to use for the LSAT.

The screen on my MacBook Air is small. I am planning on hooking up my 27-inch monitor to the MacBook Air, which I think will help me with Reading Comprehension, and really every aspect of the test, having the larger screen size and larger font. I'm guessing this is not cut and dry as far as the rules, but I don't see anything in the rules that specifically prohibits using an external monitor to take the test. Any thoughts? It will be the MacBook Air, and the 27-inch monitor on my desk (along with the other materials).

I am planning on using an external monitor which I am hooking up to my MacBook Air. I don't know if this is going to be a problem, because the MacBook will be side by side with the monitor. I am also planning on using a wireless mouse (again, don't know if the Proctors will tell me to put it away).

I don't believe it affects the argument at all, but the first sentence says "almost no new businesses" and JY reads that as "no new businesses." Wouldn't "almost no new businesses" imply that at least one new business moved into the region in the last 10 years?
