How many pencils can I bring?

Is there a cap? Hope I can bring in at least 6, so I can have a sharp point for each logic game and a sharp point for the other sections. I really want to bring 10, just in case my experimental is LG.

    I brought a whole box because I'm paranoid. No one stopped me, so I don't think there's a limit.

    How many was in your box? I really just want to bring 10. That should be fine. That with my blackwing pencil sharpener!!

    I don't think so either, provided they fit in your plastic bag. I brought an entire box as well.

    I took more than 10 last time and plan on taking at least 15 this time. There shouldn't be a problem with this.

    I brought more than 10 pencils last time. I do not think there is a limit for how many pencils you can bring.

    LOL I took 4 but I saw a girl with like 20 sitting across from me, no one said anything to her, but just looked at her funny

    I brought at least 10 last time :)
    And there will be time to sharpen between each section, if you're quick.

    LOL always wondered this. I PT with at least 5 by my side so I expect I'll bring around 10 or just a box.

    Then bring 10 : ) I think it will all easily fit in that giant zip log back. Worse come to worse and the desk is too small, I think some pencils can stay in the bag.

    I was that girl and definitely got some looks :blush: but at least wasn't the idiot that showed up with nothing, not even a pencil...

    I took the LSAT twice and each time someone showed up without pencils. I may have been that weird girl with a billion pencils but to them I was a hero. It's good karma

    Thanks for the feedback all! Since everyone else is as neurotic as me about bringing enough pencils with a sharp point, I think I am going to be "that person" and bring 20.

    @"Darth Jurist" It's definitely a good thing! I'm taking more this time around myself, I just stopped myself because I wasn't sure the first time. Just watching her made me a little nervous that's all ;)

    We all want that LSAT geek intimidation factor, heehee

    @"Darth Jurist" one of my favorite tips in the "infamous" pencil thread - sharpen your pencils 1/2 way so that if you have to erase anything - you can flip to the eraser quicker :wink:

    lol so i took maybe 3 or 4 and trust me you do not need more than that. I ended up using 1.

    I brought enough to get the proctor's attention. He saw my bag, started laughing, and said, "guess you won't need that sharpener."
    The instructions say to bring 4 (I think), but most of the people around me had 8+

    You honestly need 1. Just 1. Though I suggest 2 just in case you snap 1 out of frustration.

  • camcam Alum Member

    I brought 8-10. I think I used 2 per section, including the writing sample.

  • Pi031415Pi031415 Alum Member

    The people sitting around me had no less than 15 on their desks plus sharpeners. Seems extra to me but whatever you need to push thru! I had 2 and a sharpener and did just fine. My hand gets so weak from writing. I never write anything these days.
