Perfect score v4 Watch

Maximus4

So was the perfect score v4 watch banned from the December lsat or was I the only one had his watch taken away 5 min before the exam started?

Damn. I'm really sorry to hear that.
I had the impression that they were more strict this take than September when it comes to watches. There were a ton of other people in my take (Orlando, FL) that had their watches taken away as opposed to last September, when there were people who got into the testing room with some watches that were clearly not legal (same location, same proctors).

I think they did make a few updates to their watch legality rules since September (the proctors has some kinds of pamphlets that they mentioned they'd received since the last take). There were folks with analog watches who got them taken away.

However, as far as I know, LSAC did not release any updated messaging about their watch legality, which is totally not cool.

I used this watch and they said it was fine! I’m sorry that happened to you.

Your proctor screwed up -- I used this watch, and I was paranoid enough to call LSAC on Friday to confirm that it was okay. They explicitly told me it was fine, but I brought a backup watch to be safe and then asked my proctor before the test to confirm that it was alright. Fortunately I didn't get any trouble, and I can only imagine how frustrating that must have been!

Ugh, yeah. I really think it's inconsistency with the proctors. I had a regular Casio watch, but the check in person never even so much as glanced at it. Seemed very unconcerned about watches. I think Perfect Score is supposed to be ok, but I heard similar stories from previous tests too. Even for things like photos and such, I've heard nightmare stories about proctors being excessively picky, so it scared me away from even attempting a special LSAT watch. So frustrating that things aren't enforced consistently. I don't even entirely blame the proctors, I think the policy is vague and deserves clarification so we know for sure what is and is not ok.

I used the Perfect Score with no problems, but the proctors didn't even check watches at my test site.

While waiting in line the so called proctors were actually checking inside the bags and 2 of the ladies told me that everything was fine. But once I got to the front the main guy who was in charge of everything tells me that I would have to toss it. Also I just spoke with the LSAC over the phone and the person said that it’s ok to use the watch. So I don’t know what the hell happened

I have and used the Perfect Score V4 watch during last Saturday's LSAT without problems. I would file a complaint!

I emailed LSAC with the name and link for Perfect Score V4 and they explicitly said it was fine to use on test day. I'd file a complaint!

Well that specific watch has a chronograph and that is explicitly listed as a prohibited watch by LSAC. https://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/day-of-test (keyword chronograph, youll find it)

Watches like the 180 and Mastermind have chronos, but the PS V4 watch doesn't have one. It's just a regular watch with LSAT markings.
