Does anyone know whether a stylus pen is allowed for the Flex format?
No stylus pen is allowed for Flex. Tablet PCs are not allowed as well; only laptops and desktops. And even if your laptop does provide a tablet mode, you have to use it in the laptop mode.
i’m projected to take the LSAT in August or October, to send applications in Nov. Anyone recommend also taking LSAT in july in the event it is flex? to prepare...
I'm in the same boat as you! I'm planning on doing ED to 2 schools too...
@798033 I finally was able to get through, it took a solid 20+ minutes of just clicking on times and being told over and over that they aren't available. The system works exceptionally poorly, but if you keep doing it over and over again it eventually goes through
Thirding -- anyone know how we're supposed to register for the time we're taking the Flex? Still nothing for me and it's supposed to go live in one minute. Solid work by LSAC.
I'm really worried about taking the LSAT flex in June if it is anything like the LSAT Prep Plus setup. Sometimes during RC, the LSAT Prep Plus has you do a question using specific lines, but the passage isn't even numbered itself!? Am I supposed to count to line 45 myself? Also, sometimes it "teal highlights" for you during an RC question and then sometimes it doesn't. SO nervous. Any thoughts on this? DO you think LSAC knows about the issues the system has on RC?
I am curious how they are going to weigh our scores, since we will be tested with fewer questions. And the format can be an advantage or disadvantage to some. I wonder if the percentile will be altered as well.
Anyone else having these thoughts or have the answers?
@jenellyperez449, Seconding this. I realize the timeline had to be condensed, though am wishing there were trial tests to help see how these things play out before the real game.
I'm worried about the LSAT Flex because while I see the advantages, it looks like it will hurt students who preform significantly better in the LR section compared to the other two (like me). This is really worrying me, should I not take the LSAT Flex at the risk of scoring several points lower than what im pt'ing? #help
I'm signed up for the July test and assume it's going to be flex as well. I live in southeast Michigan and doubt there will be in-person tests before fall, and even that may be a stretch unless they open up more testing sites.
@8517 I am only giving it my best guess, so take it with a grain of salt, but I would be shocked if the July LSAT did not end up being a Flex as well. I think that August would be the first date that has much of a chance of actually going on as a "normal" administration.
@laurenladino408 Thanks for letting me know! I thought that might be the case. Do you guys anticipate the July and August administrations being Flex exams as well? I know its just speculation, but I'm interested to hear people's thoughts.

For the FLEX format, Is it allow to diagram on a paper of myself while doing the LG section, since test takers don't do LG on a tablet?
You'll get to use 5 blank sheets of paper. Total 10 pages.

I think the system was overloaded aka what happens any time something big online happens. Thanks for the reply! hope everyone was able to lock in
What is the institution name when you registered for the account? I’m not able to register for the test, it says there’s no active term available

anyone having issues actually scheduling a time on uproctor? it’s saying none of the dates and times are available but i signed on right on the hour

Also wondering if anyone has received instructions for registration -- thanks!
Has anyone received instructions yet on registration?
@jayleencouture313, I'm right there with you--lots of questions and hoping they get answered before the test is given.

"Yes, it will. However, during 2020-21, the limit will be increased to 4, since the March and April tests had to be cancelled."
^LSAC's response to my question of if the Flex will count toward test limits.
To be clear, we only get to the LSAT 5 times in total? And the LSAT Flex counts?

Is LSAT Flex available for international test takers?
Computers only, with some tech specs.
Will we be required to use a computer or can we use a tablet if we have one?
