Official September LSAT Discussion Thread
Update: Topic Thread is now here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/1weswi6/official_september_lsat_topic_thread/
This is a thread gathering together people's experiences. Please don't talk about specific content here. Lots of people haven't taken this LSAT yet, and you don't want them to get an unfair advantage. Some ideas for stuff to talk about:
- Did it feel harder/easier/the same as PT's?
- How was your scrap paper experience?
- Any unexpected surprises?
- How was ProMetric? Were there any wait times?
- How was the interface?
- How was your test center experience?
- Overall impressions?
Please read the rules here to see what’s allowed in discussion. Short version is no discussing of specific questions and no info to identify the unscored section: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/va0ho2/reminder_about_test_day_rules/
Test Discussion: This is embargoed until testing is over, in order to keep the test fair. Please hold discussion of that until then. Once everyone is done testing, topic discussion is allowed, though without discussion of question specifics, answers, or without requests to dm to do the same. Thank you! If time allows we will make a thread to gather people's data.
Asking to dm to evade the rules: Don’t do this. People who haven’t taken the test can get an unfair advantage if you leak them info. Keep the test fair for everyone and wait till testing is over.
Section order PSA: The section order of tests is random. If you have RC-LR-LR-RC that doesn't mean you have the same test as someone else who has RC-LR-LR-RC.
FAQ
When will topic discussion be allowed?
After the last day of testing ends. We will have an official thread to identify scored sections at that time. Please keep the test fair and avoid discussing topics and questions until then.
Once testing is done, can we discuss test answers?
No, only topics. The test you took may be used for a makeup test or a future test, and having answers public will make future testing unfair. All test discussion is covered by LSAC's agreement, which allows none of it. There's a pragmatic exception for identifying real topics but that's as far as it goes.
Good luck!
Helpful Links
Here are two links from LSAC and Prometric covering what you can and can't bring:
- LSAC candidate agreement sections 18-20 covers what to bring and not to bring: https://www.lsac.org/about/lsac-policies/lsac-candidate-agreement/2026-2027#jump18
- Additionally, the prometric approved items list covers additional pre-approved items: https://www.prometric.com/pre-approved-items/
The latter list is quite useful and includes things such as kleenex, cough drops, eye drops, etc. Here's the full list of really common items from the pre-approved list. The list also covers many medical or religious items you may need for specific conditions and situations.
Note, however, that there is some conflict between the LSAC and Prometric lists. LSAC specifically cites this list, then specifically forbids some items on it. So, it would be prudent to contact LSAC to be certain of any item that is in conflict between the lists, and additionally request they clarify their own list.

one of the LRs had really weird and convoluted language. I felt like I hadn’t really seen anything like that before. The other one was OK. RC was fine too but I did notice a small grammar mistake
