Timer without a beep or alarm?
I need one for the LSAT tomorrow. Anyone have any ideas about where one might get one? I suspect I may have something lying around here that I'm just not thinking of. My watch beeps, so thats out. Do they even make them without the beep. They, of course, sell a pricey test taking timer, but I'm hoping for a cheap or better yet "already have" solution.
thanks

1. Get a beeper with "vibrate" function.


It doesn't have to be in service just as long as it keeps the time. Get an old one from somebody.

3. They don't allow pagers or cell phones, unfortunately.
(Whether it's in service or not.)

You are allowed to have on your desk:
• Pencils and erasers
• A highlighter
• A non-beeping timer or watch (as long as the watch doesn't do anything but tell time -- no calculator watches, for instance)
• The test book and answer sheet.

That's it. I'd imagine they wouldn't kick you out for a crumpled-up Kleenex or something, but I wouldn't push it with anything else.

2. Hey, good luck!
I couldn't find a cheap test timer either, so I went with a good old-fashioned watch. (I took the October test.)

They do give you a five-minute warning and I found that was sufficient. (Then again -- I'm a naturally fast test taker, and didn't try to break down the games or reading sections into 8-minute increments or anything.)

4. Thanks. I'm pretty quick, too.
I haven't run out of time on any of the practice tests thus far.
