@dcstyles51317, Another mouse fan here. :)
^I wonder if we can keep our laptop plugged into a charger? My battery isn't abysmal but it is a little old and I'd feel more comfortable if I could just keep it plugged into the wall
^^Thank you!!!! I feel like I'd rather just use a handheld mirror tbh, it seems easier than using a small phone mirror. But you're right we do need to have the phone to show them it's off. I wonder if we can turn it off before or if they need to see it physical shut down

“ What electronic devices are prohibited?
One cell phone is allowed for use as a mirror during check-in as instructed by your proctor, but it must be turned off and put away as instructed by the proctor before the test begins.“
Can anyone explain this to me? Why do you need a mirror during check-in? Can you opt to just not do this?
There's a video about everything in the set up from proctoru. The mirror is to directly look at your computer screen. Regardless they say that they want you to have your cell phone so that they can see you turn it off.
Here's the video.
Will they ever stop doing LSAT Flex?
is using a mouse allowed? I can't find anything where it explicitly says it's not allowed. I'm assuming it should be okay?

Those who signed up for the May test -- what were the time slot options like? Were they all weekdays during regular working hours (EST)?
I believe I will be ready to take the July LSAT, but can't take a full Monday off work so I'm planning to take the August test due to the Saturday test date. Wondering if I should reconsider my plans if July is offered after work hours/on a weekend.
To my knowledge, the standard slots are Monday & Tuesday during normal hours, but exceptions can be made I believe if you reach out
Will there be a digital timer on the exam screen?
What if your cell phone doesn't have a mirror feature? Would you need a small mirror in the room that you then put aside?

^I think the issue would be having a clear advantage over people who take this in-person on tablets or paper.
Personally, I would avoid doing this because it’s not worth risking having your entire score cancelled over it. Even if they don’t explicitly ban searching.
yea not worth

@ahnendc623-1 @gloverlandon747 I'm not so sure about that. They've said that the interface would be the same as LawHub, which does allow finding. Unless there's an explicit rule against it listed somewhere, the worst they can reasonably do is warn you during the test not to do it again.
That being said, I haven't seen where it's made much of a difference for me. It saves maybe 2-3 seconds scanning over the passage (they're pretty short) and I don't see where that provides a meaningful advantage. As we all know, there isn't enough time to substantiate every answer and finding doesn't really change that, so I don't see why preventing it would be a priority for LSAC.
@ahnendc623-1 I would be extremely shocked if they left that in. Lots of RC questions rely on memory so that would be a ridiculously unfair advantage. Even if the test software doesn't disable command F searching, I imagine it would be a test violation that would result in having your score cancelled.
I presume that using the Command F feature to quickly search the Reading Comprehension is absolutely restricted since this functionality presumably wouldn't exists on 'regular' in-person tablet version?
I searched on LSAC but was not able to find an answer or anyway to ask them this question.
If anyone has any insight into this (or knows how to reach out to them with these types of concerns) it would be great to know.
@dcstyles51317 Got it! Thank you :)
@leahsingleton201698
On the website if you click "What am I allowed with me during the LSAT-Flex" it specifically states No.2 pencils or HB pencils. Says nothing about pens.
@gloverlandon747 Hi! if you don't mind, where in the LSAC website did you see that we're not allowed to use pen? Trying to find the specific guideline around that on LSAC web but can't seem to find. Thank you!
Also some people have been asking if they can read out loud or talk to themselves during the test - that is specifically mentioned as not allowed in the newly updated guidelines!
Lol I wonder why they are so strict with allowing people pencils and not pens? It's not the biggest deal, I can go out and buy pencils, but I don't understand the purpose of only allowing No 2 pencils and not pens.
Some university students have made comments on forums about privacy concerns in relation to online proctoring. It seems that students deserve more privacy protection, and I hope these issues will be addressed more going forward.
According to the website, which was recently updated, there's a maximum of 5 blank pages of paper per person--so 10 single sides.
Will scratch paper be allowed on the LSAT Flex?
Hi rachel,
No, the LSAT-Flex will only have three sections and all of them will be scored!
