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.
Word.
Well alright! I guess I had been practicing LG's with a nub for nothing. Thank God!!
lol sheesh I only brought two.
no limit
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.
I
minutia!
Hi, my name is Scooter, and I'm an LSAT nerd.
BEST ON SATURDAY!! WOOOHOOOOOO!
Don't think there's a cap. I know someone who took 16
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
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.
I'm bringing one.
@"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
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.
I brought 8-10. I think I used 2 per section, including the writing sample.
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.
