It's often been said that the similarities between LSAT Blog and The Sartorialist are uncanny. After all, I write about the LSAT, and he takes photos of stylish people.
So, I wasn't at all surprised when a blog reader recently asked me what to wear on Test Day.
My thoughts:
-Formalwear
Pros: You can boost your self-esteem by dressing in formal clothing. Feeling good about yourself is important when performing difficult tasks.
Cons: Formalwear can be constricting, which might slow you down and make you uncomfortable. Also, no one likes that guy/gal, so they'll beat you up as soon as the test is over.
Protip: Don't wear a suit or evening gown to take a standardized test. Just don't.
-Homeless Chic
Pro: You'll distract other test-takers with how disgusting you look (and smell, if you really go all-out). Which is kind of funny, if you're an asshole.
Con: They'll beat you up as soon as the test is over.
Protip: As a general rule of thumb, if you dress in rags, you won't have many friends --- unless you're filthy rich. It's nasty, so don't do it.
-Casualwear
Pros: Just about everything.
Cons: You won't be asked to model.
Protip: Wear casual, comfortable clothing. Your favorite t-shirt, sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers work well. If you're a girl (or like to dress like one), you can also go the Juicy sweatpants route. You don't know whether the test center will be hot or cold, so layers are a good idea. Don't bring a hoodie, though. Test Day rules prohibit them.
