    Completely dependent on the proctor I'd say. I'd also say if you do it discreetly (not massive tissues coming out) they won't even know you did it.

    Don't think they'll make an issue out of it.

    I think they just can't make an issue out of it. Tissues are there to help us with our runny nose .

    On a different note, I hope none of the people I take a test with do that because it would be hard to concentrate and I would be laughing the whole time :) <3.

    Oh god, I always have a terribly runny nose and need my tissues... I really hope this isn't a problem. It's honestly something I've never even considered.

    Has anyone had any experience having trouble with having things like tissues? I usually always keep a couple in my pocket.

    I think they let us keep tissues on the desk.

    Oh god I hope so. I don't want to be sniffling and annoying the crap out of people sitting next to me. I better double up on my allergy meds just to be sure... Especially since I'm taking in June/September.

    By LSAC rules we are allowed to keep them on the desk. :)

    Im pretty sure they're allowed on desks. When I sat last December tissues were allowed on desks. Thank god since I unfortunately got a nose bleed at the start of the first section. Smh...I hope it doesn't happen again during my June retake.

    A mini pack of tissues is on my checklist. :)

    i brought it up because while doing a section i was seriously having problems. lol. Then i remembered i had an Exam once where i had the same issue but did not have tissues (which is way worse).

    So it got me thinking, to just plug my nose and then sync my watch with the start.

    When I sat the December test, a proctor told me that I can't bring in tissues, so I told him, "Please read the second page of the Candidate Information Sheet. We are allowed to bring tissues and have them on the desktop." And he was like, "Oops, sorry!" (I basically memorized the Sheet. If the LSAT were a test based on memorization, I would get a 180)

    The fact you memorized the Candidate Information Sheet only makes me appreciate you that much more, haha. You put that proctor to shame :sweat_smile:

    Glad you gently reminded them you were following the rules. This seems like a sign of a good future lawyer. :)

    It's amazing that a thread about runny noses has become so popular. Can't wait until I get the e-mail next week about top discussions in the 7Sage forum and see that runny noses rules the roost.
