Self-study
I admit I haven't read everything very carefully but here seems like a better way to get answers anyway... I take the LSAT this Saturday online. I have downloaded the ProProctor app to my computer and opened it with no issue. Is the LSAT exam given through the ProProctor app or is it given on Lawhub and the app is just for the monitoring during the exam?
Second question I have a laptop and a monitor set up. I like to use my monitor as its far bigger than my laptop screen but my laptop has the camera on it. So when i use my monitor its clear that i am looking well to the side of my laptop... will this be an issue with the ProProctor? Maybe just depends on the Proctor but worth asking.
Thanks for any insight!!

Hi Reice! I just took the online LSAT last November. Definitely the proctor wouldn't allow an external monitor.
I took the LSAT in my father's office with my laptop, and the room had an external monitor, some books, a computer, 3 large printers, and a out-of-commission flat-screen. TLDR after a lot of phone calls with Prometric I had to cover and unplug all the printers and the monitor, and carry the books and flat-screen outside of the room even though it was unplugged.
Keep in mind that everything depends on your day-of proctor. I'd suggest you keep some extra towels/blankets nearby in case you need to cover anything. Aside from that, you can refer to the Prometric website and it has a list of items that are allowed to be in the room with you during testing, although there are some discrepancies (for example, I had to cover and unplug the printers even though the website says that they just need to be turned off, and the website also says that books can stay in the room as long as they are not accessed during the test, but my proctor told me to remove them.)
If you have any questions, I'd highly recommend calling Prometric as well. The quality of the person on the other end varies, but usually you get all of your questions answered within 1-2 calls.
I hope this helps!
Hi! First, good luck on your LSAT this weekend. I’ve taken the exam proctored before, so I wanted to share a few things to help you prepare. The test is taken on LawHub with a live proctor, and you are monitored throughout the entire exam.
Unfortunately, you cannot use an external monitor. Your desk must be completely clear, nothing except approved scratch paper and a pen (I took the November proctored test).
When I took it, they required me to disconnect and remove my external monitor and place it on the floor before I was allowed to begin, so it’s best to set everything up in advance to avoid delays.
