    This was helpful! I found it helpful to also look at the trial they provided. I think I'm okay with everything else, but the RC section scares me. I like being able to scribble along the sides :disappointed:

    It says we can bring out own pencil.

    "Will test takers be able to use physical scratch paper for making notes?
    Yes! LSAC will provide scratch paper and a pen for test takers to use during the test. Digital LSAT test takers will also be permitted to use their own pencil and eraser for making notes. We will provide a stylus that can be used to underline and highlight text on the tablet.

    Yes, bringing your own pencil is allowed.

    I'm thinking that just eschewing the stylus and use pencil and fingers for the test.

    Thanks for this. Is anyone else having major problems using the highlighter function? On my laptop, it works some of the time, which is super frustrating, and I can't get it to work on my iPad at all. I am a big fan of highlighting, so this is not good.

    Are we going to be able to choose the electronic version or is it randomly selected for the July date?

    no! it will be randomly selected. Basically you show up and they tell you whether you get it or not.

    Yes. I had this issue yesterday and figured it was because i was on my laptop... but good to know that it isn't just me

    Thanks for posting that! I was actually unaware that it'll be test center specific as to which students get the paper version vs. digital. That actually takes away some of the anxiety surrounding possibly sitting for the July test for me. I had been worrying about the possibility of people taking it in different formats in the same room!

    @alumivacui @2ndTimestheCharm Was the highlighting issue you experienced on LSAC’s site or 7Sage?

    On LSAC's site. The 7Sage version highlighter is working now. It would be nice to be able to practice on both...
    (I'm taking both June and July and so far having trouble finding enough time to do any full-length tests digitally.)

    The 7sage one is working now. I would go so far as to say it works BETTER than the lsac one currently. the fluidity was the issue... atleasst that is how i would describe it.
