That test day individual...
I think it would be fun/funny to list the types of people you see/listen to when you're at your LSAT testing site on test day.
I'll list a couple of people to start it off.
Ditcher: This guy has no idea why he's there or if he's even ready. As soon as his name is called during attendance he gets up and says "I'm not ready for this, I shouldn't be here, good luck everyone." Making other students a bit more anxious than they were already.
That Guy: This is the guy (I say guy because I've never seen a girl do this, and I took the test twice) during break, who talks about the LSAT like it's no big deal. He barely studied for it because it's just so simple or he doesn't take it seriously. He says this while laughing and shrugs it off like it isn't a big deal. After the exam is finished he walks away with a look of defeat on his face.
Freaked Out: These are the people who are obsessing over the test during their break (they are usually a bit vocal). They feel defeated and want to cancel their score. Some do and some don't, but it doesn't make others any less anxious.
Pencil Person: This is the person who taps their pencil every so often and it's a bit distracting. They also tend to cross out answers like an angry 5 year old scribbling in a coloring book. Out of all the people, these may be the worst.
The Nail Biter (this is me): I bite my nails to keep the rest of my nerves under control. It may be distracting, but I'm not sure if it is because I never noticed anyone else doing it.
I'm sure there are plenty of others. Feel free to post some if you've experienced similar/other possibilities!

Three days if you plan on taking the CA Bar.
I bet there are nightmare tales floating around of leaky table/row mates ...
Seriously, what if you saw such a person and then you ended up at the same law school as them? Are you obligated to buy them a pack of Depends for 1L fall finals week? I feel like if you wore diapers to your LSAT and showed up to law school and someone there had seen you, then you pretty much have to drop out immediately. I'm sure law schools will be totally understanding when you write an addendum about how you had to leave law school because someone knew your dark secret.
I may be the worse type... I'm the nail biting, pencil tapping, under breath mumbler, nervous energy abounds type. But at the same time I am super prepared (except for the diaper. EWWW BTW) obsessed with perfection, but might show up in Happy Bunny pjs type. I think they balance out.

I am, literally, right in between Houston (30 miles North) and Galveston (30 miles South). Its actually a pretty great location.
The "over packer" is going to be me. I'm going to bring 100 pencils, JUST IN CASE my pencils keep breaking.
Lol!
