I took the LSAT 2 years ago, on paper in a testing center, I have decided to take it again to try to get my score up. I'm a bit nervous about the digital format but am slowly adjusting to it. I'm not sure what to expect on test day, I've heard so many different things. Can anyone elaborate what the check-in process is like, and in general what to expect? I also heard on the PowerScore Podcast that there was no bathroom breaks, can anyone confirm?

If for some reason you can't register Jan 21 shouldn't be too late, depending on schools. Some schools you can send your application in and select an option to wait for LSAT scores for final review. Check out the podcast Navigating Law School Admissions Ep. 2 - It's About Time. They talk about timing for applications, also check out Spivey Consulting's Blog you should be able to find something there as well!
Does anyone know if this applies to people who are taking the Digital LSAT for the first time, or is it for first time LSAT takers in general?
"For the November test, score preview will cost $45 before 11:59 p.m. ET on November 6, or $75 after testing has concluded. First-time test takers who have an approved LSAT fee waiver will receive score preview free of charge."
Has anyone tried to come up with a system for the colors/underlining that constantly mean the same thing? I was thinking of doing this but I feel like sometimes I can too wrapped up in trying to highlight things and I loose a lot of time.
They typically want your PS so they have an idea of what story you are trying to tell the admissions committee, it's for your benefit and really common in my experience. If you are having trouble throwing together a quick draft for them I would give them maybe like a paragraph or two about what you will be writing about with bulleted goals for your essay. Let them know that you are focusing on the LSAT right now and this is what you can give them for now. You can also send them your CV/Resume so they can more to reference.
Also, if there is a specific reason you are asking this person be sure to tell them. For example, one of my professors who wrote my essay I asked him to bring up specific stories and ideas that lined up with other aspects of my application.
Hope this helps!
I find it really helpful especially for inference questions, it mostly helps save time! You just have to know what words to look for.
Hey Mallory! I totally understand where you are coming from, I have a list of resources I send to people that have things like books, podcasts, and blogs you can check out, I would be happy to send it to you!
Thank you that was really helpful!
