I've had some professors who graded in such a way that you could only gain points (you couldn't lose them). For those kinds of exams, it really is a race to see how much you can type. We still have a few people in every class who hand write. Boggles my mind. @Bria, Great point.

GET OUT NOW! SAVE YOURSELF! But that's just me. I still think the best advice is: DON’T DO IT! GET OUT NOW! SAVE YOURSELF!

I am a truly mediocre typist, and it was a hindrance to me throughout law school. Not a major obstacle, but something that added to my stress a bit during exams. My husband is a killer typist, and his ability to churn out exam answers as fast as he could think them was quite impressive. Seriously, I would advise anyone starting law school in the fall to spend a few weeks with Mavis Beacon (or your other typing program of choice) getting the kinks ironed out. Much more useful than any advance reading. As simple as it sounds, I tell every incoming law student I meet to get their typing skills in order.
