Great series and super helpful! One thought regarding test center vs at home, while it's true there could be malfunctions at home, it's also an environment you're much more comfortable with and you can mimic test day conditions almost exactly. Therefore when you end up taking the test, it'll be almost no different than just taking another practice test. Going to a testing center is a new environment, maybe the room is colder or warmer than you'd ideally like, maybe there's a bit of background noise, etc. At home you can control for those conditions and make it exactly as you'd like. Definitely trade offs, but for these reasons I think I'm gonna take it at home.
680 person to finish the series 🫡 it’s been insanely helpful for someone trying to go into law school without a poly sci/pre-law background, and has really inspired me to go for it!! thank you for this series of videos ❤️
I tried the RC tip and it works! The matrix is there for sure. It does take time but the " citation" is there every single time. I tried the platform but it's not launched yet. I am very pleased with your crystal clear lessons and tips that are pure gold on youtube and would like some more ( Please!!) until the platform is launched. Thank you so much!
I feel the same way! The matrix is definitely there. I too tried the platform and see that it is not yet launched. Do you have any idea when it may be launched? I feel that it will be another tremendous study tool I could use before taking my LSAT. Also, thank you Albert for taking time to put these videos together!!
@@aaronsheldon6318 when would it be launched?
GOATED
If anyone has taken the LSAT at home, please be sure to let me know your experiences. I would love to continue weighing my options before registration closes. Thanks in advance!
Like @oliverniehaus7159 mentioned, it's very much ideal to how everything will run smoothly for test day; same environment and other controlling factors. I've taken the test at home before (which I've completely enjoyed) also at the testing facility. LSAC personnel basically records you taking the test (you can't see the individual DURING the test; only BEFORE test administration (LSAC rules/regulations, and scanning your area for no distractions/violations), DISMISSING you during your approx. 15min break, AFTER break--to scan the room/area again, and when the time is up for test completion). They ask for you to SCAN your desk area ensuring there's no sticky notes, cheat sheets or distractions causing a penalty. Also, no phones are visible. Must have I.D., pencil/utensils, sheets of paper, etc. that's conveyed on the LSAC platform for 'Getting ready for Test Day.'
@@zacks963Do they post the locations of these testing facilities anywhere or do random nearby schools host them? Also when you took it in person do you have an option of computer or paper?
@@dominicekezie2011 When scheduling your test, it gives 2 options: In person or remote. If you pick in person or related terminology, you'll be updated with info about nearby schools/facilities in your area for testing (at your own choosing). Hindsight, I was provided notebook paper, pencils, snacks, and went through the admission process for self-identification. (Please get there on time since it's many students checking in, etc). The room was very cold to say the least, and quite intimidating when noticing others finishing a section before I did. But, everyone have different approaches and are unique individuals lol. Since it was a couple years ago, I remember an email sent with what's needed on test day. It was simple instructions. Also, we've gotten a minimum of 2 bathroom breaks AS A GROUP + Couldn't talk about the test with others as well. There were 2 instructors present and watched but not in a way where fear creeps in since you're more focused on PASSING the test. To think of it, one individual said, 'This my 4th time taking it.' When I say I got nervous and you could hear a pin drop, the AGONY LOL,. With much practice and a positive attitude, you'll pass! I hope this helps!😃
*Pen drop. In addition, the instructors place your phone in a storage container which must be on silent. You will receive your phone when test completed. You only move on to other sections when permitted by the instructors.
I agree with not wanting to take it at home. I under 0 circumstances want to be accused for cheating when I am not
How do I send you a personal message since I have some questions about some of the topic. Thank you so much for this educational materials because it has really help me with my preparation....
