Advice on fidgeting during exam

Hey everyone,

I'm pretty worried about the testing environment, especially around fidgeting. I tend to fidget a lot, things like touching my face or subvocalizing (even without sound) are big coping mechanisms for me, and I've been "warned" about them in other proctored exams. I've heard rumors that the LSAT is super strict about this stuff.

I'm planning to take the test in person, hoping the testing center might be a bit more understanding since they have more direct control over the testing environment. Has anyone else dealt with similar issues? Any advice or tips on managing fidgeting during the LSAT, especially for an in-person test?

Thanks!

    I took the LSAT at a testing center and I also tend to fidget a lot, including many of the things you mentioned. I think their main worry with you fidgeting is that you might be copying off something and trying to look around the room. Testing centers are set up in a way that this is pretty much impossible since you can't take anything into the room with you, and they had no issues with me fidgeting in my seat or anything. Only thing that is a big no is making noise/talking. I think you will be fine! You got this!
