Does anyone know when we'll be able to register for a specific time/day for the October flex? In the email I believe they said the registration would be available 2 weeks before the first test date, but I'm not sure what day I should keep an eye out for.
LETS KILL THIS TEST!!!!!!
If you don't have your LSAC/Proctor U email yet!!! Go to ProctorU anyway and select User Login. Then say "forgot password". They will email you a link to reset password that you can use to login. People are currently scheduling their LSAT-flexes so see if this works for you!
@hebein157719 I have heard that it does not
We can register for our LSAT-flex times on Tuesday 9/22 at noon EST

I’m taking the October 3rd international exam. I’m a little confused about the writing sample. Will I select the time to do at when I choose my Flex test time? Or do I have to sign up for it separately?
When I took the August LSAT they opened up the writing sample 8 days before the test date and you just click a link and it takes you right to it. Make sure that when you receive the link from LSAT, you don't use it until you're in a quiet, empty space so you can focus because once the link is used you gotta start the writing sample.
Also, you can do it at anytime before or after your test but you won't get your score until after your writing sample has been approved.
Do we have to finish LSAT writing before they release our score to us? Secondly, does 7sage have any resources on the writing portion of the test? I’ve been out of college for a long time and would really benefit from some tips. Thank you!
When does the time slot sign up begin for the October flex?
Does the October score cancellation preview option extend to all test takers or only first-time takers?

So I've set my test time for the 3rd. Just to clarify, should I go to ProctorU or to LawHub first on the day of the test? Also, does anybody know how long the breaks are between sections?
You go to ProctorU at the time you signed up for, have no other windows or programs opened. Then your proctor will walk you through the rest. LSAC says there are no breaks between the 3 sections. Good luck!

Are we allowed to use pens or just pencils?
LSAC said pens or pencils are fine

ummm guys, I checked proctor U and it seems we can register now. Do you guys have the same situation as me? (fingers crossed)
Just contacted ProctorU rep through live chat and the rep got me scheduled at 6pm. Did the registration period pass alreday? I thought the test-time registration period is supposed to begin at 12 (noon), September 22nd.

@benblessbolton970 wait how did you get your account with proctoru. I tried to sign up but it said I needed an approved code to login
The time hasnt passed yet, I just logged in early to check, because according to some users on reddit, some were able to do it earlier than the stated 12 time.And after logging in I found that the scheduling seems open.
As for the account, mine was the same as my previous flex session. Ive heard (from reddit) that you can do it (if this is your first flex) by signing in with your lsac eamil and then click forget password or smth(or maybe with lsac password? not sure). Hope this helps!
@emilypferg997 said:
I understand we should be hearing back from lsac soon regarding our test day assignments (be it the 3, 4, 6 or 8th). Does anyone know where/ when we will be notified? I thought Tuesday at noon was specific to the time of day...
Tuesday at noon Eastern Time is when you can pick your test date and time. It is NOT automatically assigned to you, therefore right at noon EST you want to be waiting for the email to come in so you can sign up for your LSAT-flex slot right away before all the good ones are taken.

@hebein157719 I have heard that it does not
quite liked that feature:(
Thanks!
Called LSAC this morning and they said email would be out in a few days when we can sign up for time slots

Hi! I typically PT on my second monitor, which is bigger than my touch screen laptop. I believe I won't be allowed to use my monitor for the actual test, but does anyone know if the touch screen option will be allowed? ie. can I touch my laptop screen to skip questions/highlight/flag/etc. or must I use my mouse/touchpad?
I reached out to LSAC with the same question and got an email confirmation that a touchscreen laptop and using its touchscreen features are approved for the flex!
Great thanks!

Does anyone know if we have to set up a ProctorU account prior to getting the link/code/whatever it is to sign up for a time/date?
If this is your first time, LSAT should have the account set up for you. When the email comes around in the next week or so for the sign-ups, it'll contain your username and temporary password for ProctorU (you can use this temporary one forever, but it's better to change it to something more memorable right away). Entering these in on ProctorU's website will immediately grant you access to the system.
@sarahemissimer998 I'm signed up for the October 3 one and my registration didn't say online for a while. Eventually they'll send you an email to sign up for your day/time slot! Or so I've been told. I think the email is supposed to come 2 weeks before the "first test date" (so for me that would be October 3). When it comes, you can go onto ProctorU and sign up for a slot.

@emilypferg997 and @attaltaima647.taima I don't think the previous comment by @emilypferg997 is correct, you can't just take it whenever you want. You must sign-up for a time slot. If you read your confirmation email, it says you will receive an email approx. 2 weeks before the test date with information on selecting a time and day to take the test. Specifically, the agreement you are required to read when registering for the LSAT says: "Reporting Time: You must report to the LSAT Test no later than the reporting time indicated on your LSAT Admission Ticket. You will not be admitted to the LSAT Test after the time set forth on your LSAT Admission Ticket. You must report to the LSAT-Flex Test no later than the time you schedule for your LSAT-Flex Test. You will not be admitted to the LSAT-Flex Test if you report to the LSAT-Flex Test more than one (1) hour after your scheduled time for the LSAT-Flex Test. LSAC will strictly enforce the reporting deadlines set forth in this provision. If you are a candidate at an international Test center, please carefully review the actual Test date, day, and reporting time printed on your LSAT Admission Ticket for the LSAT Test." YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST SCHEDULE A TIME, DO NOT SHOW UP TO TAKE THE LSAT-FLEX WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT!
I was referring to LSAT writing LOL. Of course you have to schedule a time for the actual test!
@hebein157719 Doofenshmirtz thank you! I was sincerely worried that someone might have thought that he meant the actual LSAT-Flex (I read it that way at first) and if they just showed up randomly w/o a time, they would be screwed. I apologize to @emilypferg997 for attacking your comment, you are correct and thank you Heinz Doofenshmirtz for clarification!

I believe the previous comment was referring only to the LSAT writing portion, not the lsat flex. In which case, they were correct, because the LSAT writing is self scheduled and you can take it whenever you would like

Is the flex exam on something similar to law hub? Because I can't highlight or underline on there at all. I don't know if it's just my computer but I'm worried I wont be able to on the test
I took the January 2020 LSAT which was in person, but on a tablet in the same format that the FLEX will be in. From what I remember, the format on 7Sage is similar to the format for the LSAT. There is some confusion as to whether or not there is more than one color to use for highlighting (as in 7Sage we have pink, yellow & orange). There may only be one color highlight. But from what I remember, there is at least one highlight color option. Best of luck in your studies!
@juliet7sage Thanks for this, really appreciate it.
