It doesn’t count. People say that they aren’t read. SO why do it?
Even if they don’t read it they will definitely notice if it is blank.
Why would you risk having any adverse effect on admissions by not writing a few ungraded paragraphs?
If it’s really that hard for you to fart something out for half an hour then you’re not going to do well in law school. HTH
.
Still haven’t practiced one yet however
If you want to sit there and look like a retard for 35 minutes, be my guest.
For god’s sake, just do the damn thing! It’s part of the test. Don’t give a school an excuse to boot you. Don’t be the stupid one that doodles on it, either!
This is not rocket science, folks.

Thanks, I’m not too worried though. You have the link to that video? What school was it?
.
As long as you have like 5 semi-coherent paragraphs you should be fine. I seriously doubt schools will try to muddle through horrible handwriting, etc.
Just wanted to start a discussion. I thought some people would actually have a different point of view.
Why would they have a different point-of-view when theirs is correct? You by no means have to crank out publishable material, but to leave it blank would be retarded. You don’t even have to practice it. Just write for 35 minutes that makes you sound semi-sober and you’re good to go.
I’ve started plenty of worse threads don’t worry lol. But I did watch the video about the Adcoms reviewing applications and they considered the samples more than I thought they would (I figured not at all) but if you just treat it as a joke it seemed it had the potential to hurt you
Definitely do it. It’s pretty much irrelevant but if you leave it blank, that will be noticed. Don’t practice it. It’s an afterthought.
some schools literally say that not doodling is all they ask for on the writing section. Write something coherent for 15 minutes then go to the bathroom
That should be a good video to watch, its on youtube?
This. And good grief Charlie Brown, don’t prep for it. That takes gunning to the extreme.
