Scenario: You sit down to take the LSAT. The room is hot, you’re feeling anxious, and you briefly regret not taking a prep course–remembering almost immediately, that you couldn’t afford one. Your nose begins to bleed, and in the chaos of answering questions while trying to wipe away the red droplets now covering your test form, you break not one but both of your No. 2 pencils. You begin to sharpen them with the only tool you have–your thumb–resulting in a nasty blister. Weeks later, you receive your results. Not surprisingly, you scored miserably.
