January LSAT Question

lsatqueen-1

Hey you guys,

My test is tomorrow (freaking out) and I've been on reddit... I've seen people talk about using ctrl/f or command f for the reading comprehension section... does anyone know if this is allowed? I want to make sure it's okay for me to do during the test because it'll def make things quicker!!

Also, heads up for anyone who needs this: you can use ear plugs during your test! esp if you live in a noisy apartment

yes ctrl+f is allowed

Power Score Podcast said that it's been confirmed you can use ctrl+f, but I asked the proctor today and she said it's not allowed. So, I'm not sure...

LSAC has confirmed that it is allowed! Some proctors aren't aware of all the rules so what I like to do is know my accommodations and allowed tools that seem 'unusual' beforehand and make the proctor aware that I know what's allowed on the test. Ex 'i just wanted to confirm that you have my 50% extra time accommodations and that you're aware we're allowed to use ctrl f during the test' and they always say yup you're good to go

Yes, it is allowed. Past test takers who have been taking the LSAT online have been using this feature with no issue.

When you get a dense passage, and a question asks about something specific (a specific term or part of the passage), just ctrl-f that ish.. sometimes with anxiety your mental image of the passage becomes distorted, and you forget where details are located.
