Practice Test without Scantron

Hi all,

The other day I took a PT without a Scantron out of necessity (I'd forgotten to take the one I'd printed out with me). I just wrote my answers down instead. The amount of time I had per section really shocked me. And the point increase I experienced seemed significant. It made me realize I was spending way more time being obsessive about bubbling in than I'd thought I had. I just wanted to share this experience in case it applies to anyone else -- you might be surprised how much speed you can gain by just bubbling a little bit faster! Doing a section or two without a Scantron might be a good experiment.

    This is another reason why I think the digital LSAT is a step in the right direction. The bubble sheet will be eradicated. In any case, if you are testing before the digital version rolls out, it's definitely a good idea to work on bubbling!

    @Sprinkles fair point. the switch to digital would also totally eradicate the chance that someone could bubble their answers into the wrong questions.

    I also suggest bubbling by page not by question. That really helped me move along.
