Do proctors know we can use Ctrl +F during LSAT?

Hi everyone, just a question for people who might have used the Ctrl + F function on the real LSAT with a proctor.

I was wondering if there were any cases where the proctor did not know if it was allowed for us to use that function, and if so what happened!

    I used it multiple times, they should know that it's allowed. If they don't, it doesn't matter what they do because LSAC made it clear that test takers can use it. So, worst case scenario (at least to me) is that they stop you from taking the test then you complain to LSAC, who will get you a retake on a different day.

    Can we tell/double-check with the proctor before starting to take the test that LSAC allows Ctrl + F so as to avoid unpleasant interruption during the test?

    Yes. You should also tell them to stop the timer if they need to stop you for anything during the test.

    I believe that we are allowed to use Ctrl + F, but the only thing is that in the newer lsats they actually highlight the portion in the passage where they expect us to go back to. I haven't taken the actual lsat so I don't know how effective using the text search engine will be.

    There is a search bar function that you can use built into law hub

    This is like a massive part of strategy for the test. They should be aware and if they aren't they shouldn't be proctors

    I took the test before and used it with no problems you can use it. They know it exists and they know we can use it. Plus they have the search bar anyway. The tool is already available and permitted

    Haven't taken the real LSAT yet so might sound dumb, but why would ctrl F help?

    There are some questions, especially in RC comparative passage questions, that have one or two word options and then ask you to pick which one is used in both passages
