I took mine at osu. The room was so hot, we actually had to stop the test and open all windows.
You a beaver, or just visiting?
Absolutely nothing interesting happened at my test center.
I almost laugh out loud when I see that "city use goat" question in LR.
Ohio state?
Anyone listens to The Thinking Lsat? I agree very much with them when it comes to to not using a watch during the test. Well, my proctor today decided to take the wall clock off the wall and place it right in front of my eyes..... people where fighting to move it right left, and I was whispering underneath my breath "put it in the trash"
Oh nvm I was thinking of Oregon state
Yeah, I've listened to many of their podcasts. Do you know which one talks about not using a watch? That is so interesting to me and I'd really love to check it out
An opera singer randomly began belting in the room above us (as mentioned in my post). I imagine she looked something like this:
Nothing I can do but laugh now...

I'm just going to guess that if you are a Buckeye, you would've made sure to place "the" before the acronym. Ha
I broke into a coughing fit, had residual cold symptoms. Luckily it was the writing sample section.
After the proctor read the standard "how to take the LSAT" speech, he asked if there were any questions. Some jackass raised his hand and asked if any of it was going to be on the test.
That jackass was me. A few people laughed, including the proctor.
I also got some dirty looks because I got to use two desks. I'm left-handed, and they ran out of left handed decks for people to use. The desks were barely large enough to fit a fully opened LSAT book, so me having that extra desk to the side let me spread out a bit. To be fair, I just put my elbow on it. I didn't want to lord it too much.
There was a guy in my group who had 6 highlighters of various colors and at least 2 dozen pencils. I really wondered if he used all the highlighters but was too busy to watch obviously.
Older guy in front/left of me finished every section at least 5 minutes early. Not sure if he’s a super genius or over confident.
Similarly, a young man directly in front of me finished every single section 10 minutes early and just sat there motionless, with good posture, with his booklet closed.
I wonder if he was an android.
HAHA me too, had to reread it I was like, wait what goat?!
Whoa... just how ?
Not sure exactly which episodes, but they talk about it very often. Not using a watch made a huge difference for me.
Oh no! I forgot the "the" hahahahahahah always thought it's silly how much they care about the "the"
I also had someone bragging about how they finish every section in about 20 minutes... in my head I was like- you must not be doing too well.
One person left during the break. Why would you leave when you can take the whole thing and then cancel
Yeah I can totally see how sort of orienting your internal clock would be advantageous. I'm going to look into it. Always open to new and helpful strategies.
They booked a room for the test that some medicinal teaching thing already had in advance, so we had to test in a classroom with long tables where our tea
testbooks were practically touching the people to the left/right.
"Now, please could everyone wiggle in their chairs like this [proctor demonstrates the "wiggle"]" so we, oddly, do, and various chairs start squeaking... and then re-positioning begins. then.... resume instructions ... [hand raised] a protest "[turning to the girl next to her] I'm so sorry, I hope you don't ....but ...[back to the room of 50 people, and directed back to the proctor] "her chair is just a little bit of a distraction"
[girls moves to next seat]
[Proctor] "young lady, could you wiggle your seat for us" ... [squeakle sqeackles] ... [moves again]
[rest of room takes rigid zombie status for next 4 hours]
she eventually found a quiet home but ... I don't know how you recover from that drama.
Another ThinkingLSAT fan here. Nathan believes in the no-watch concept and it's been mentioned in maybe 5 episodes.
I found a watch to be really helpful, but I had practiced using it to gauge time after the 5 minute warning. As in, when do I need to start randomly bubbling to get every question filled in. I can 100% see how using a watch could end up actually wasting your time or breaking your concentration to check it. Luckily, I ended up finishing every section on this one under time anyway, so that was nice! Cheers to adrenaline!
