knew this would be worse than ProctorU ..."the devil you know"
Why did they have to change from ProctorU lol
I just got off Hold w LSAC and they said that the no time slots available issue and only getting the in person option has been widespread and that they are trying to solve it. They also told me that it appears that there won't be a cap on the time slots to sign up for if you're taking a remote test and that we should be getting some sort of update soon when the issue is fixed !! So i would just wait for that update and come back and try signing up friday or monday.
@larsenemma2149 I've been getting test centers for a while but honestly don't want to miss out on a remote spot just bc they are having technical issues
anyone else trying to schedule for remote but only getting test centers?
same here
Did anyone receive a confirmation email from Prometric? I selected a time slot and clicked on "Reserve Test Time" but nothing happened later. How do we know we actually reserve the time slot?
The closest testing center to me is 3 hours away...
Even if you wait and enter their registration page, it only says no availability. This is insane.
I keep typing my eligibility ID and it says"The identification number entered was not recognized, Please try again." Anyone else having this issue?
So I walked away from my laptop for like 15 minutes, leaving the no availability page open by accident. I came back and it had refreshed on its own, showing spots available for registration. I was able to snatch one up.
(@shehani21618 I also clicked on remote scheduling option but ended up on the test center page so i'm going to do the test center instead.)
@lt175697 I also said reserve test time and clicked it multiple times but nothing happened..then it refreshed and now i'm back in the queue.
It’s giving me the options for the test centers but when i try to confirm a time it doesn’t let me. Is anyone else having that problem?
@lt175697 I finally got it. waited 2 hours trying to get remote but for some reason it just switched on me to test centers. waiting for an hour trying to get times and finally two times popped up for me. I am not sure what i did, but i guess enough refreshing and redoing the first few steps worked. Didn't want a test center, but at this point I will take what i can get
Has anyone gotten a hold of LSAC?
Disaster lol
Hopefully they fix it
@rdyoung12433 Hey, to answer your question about how I decided whether I was going to take the August exam online or in-person, I decided it would be best for me to take in person. I took the LSAT in June for the second time online. Unfortunately, I had a terrible proctor. She interrupted me 4 times throughout my exam because she couldn't see my entire face when I was writing something (even though another proctor came into the room and said that I was perfectly fine), made me rescan my room during the middle of the test, didn't stop the clock each time, and reported me to LSAC where they eventually got back to me saying that they reviewed and I was okay but I would not be given the option to retake even though I lost about 7/8 on the test in total. The second half of my test my anxiety was through the roof because she threatened to cancel my test if I went out the screen one more time (even though I was already given the go ahead by another proctor). All this to say, it's not worth me going through the stress and anxiety of taking remotely again. I ended up scoring 6 points under the average and felt that if I didn't have these interruptions I wouldn't be taking it again. Though I know the proctor was just trying to do her job, personally, there's already enough stress going into the test and I'd rather take in person with possible disturbances of being surrounded by other students and a real proctor (if there are even any distractions) then go through that again. Everyone's experience is different, so I say do what will cause you the least amount of stress and worry. If you are really concerned about the Prometric test in your area, maybe give them or LSAC a call to get more information on what the process will look like on the day of the test, this might resolve some of your concerns.
This was not fun.
@lt175697 I did get a confirmation email from Prometric. The email came through before the webpage finished loading. And when I log into LSAC account, I can see the corresponding registration info.
I was able to register--took about 2 hours of retrying
LSAC just sent an updated email and they are trying to fix this issue. It gives those who chose the test centre option to change it to the remote exam after the problem has been fixed.
Is anyone else thinking they don't trust this new provider with remote-proctoring, given what's happening right now?? (Not that anyone can even get a remote appointment at this time...)
I've been on hold with Prometric for two hours (and counting).
This is awful. I even tried a bunch of different time zones. Nothing works.
I tried scheduling remotely and then my laptop died after not giving me any slots. Then when I put it on the charger and went back in, it offered me testing centers only. Does anyone know if it is a problem if we switch?
