I do not recommend taking the LSAT remotely
I want to share my experience so others can be informed before deciding. Even though I have a very stable internet connection, the remote system had multiple issues throughout the entire process.
ProctorU allowed me to log in, but when moving to another section, it would get stuck in waiting mode.
I had to log out and back in several times.
I had to repeat the initial inspection process four times.
I started at 8:30 a.m. and didn’t finish until 1:45 p.m. because of the constant technical problems.
All of this affects your focus, creates anxiety, and completely throws off your rhythm during the exam.
My advice: if possible, take the exam at an authorized test center. The experience is much more stable and avoids interruptions that can negatively impact your performance.

LSAT remote is horrible.
I took mine remotely today, no issues! It went smoothly in my case.
Edit: I do not mean to discount OP's experience. I am sorry that it was difficult. I want to share my experience to put a balanced perspective out there.
Same I took it on Saturday with no issues. Really sorry that happened to OP and hope they'll let them retest!
They are taking it away anyways
second that. i took remote and was kicked out so much LSAT cancelled my score. lost an attempt for something that wasn't my fault
@Hannah2026 did you file a complaint to try to get a retest? wondering because I'm waiting to hear back
I WAS NOT ABLE TO START MY EXAM AT ALL TODAY. IT WAS SCHEDULED FOR 12PM. AT 11AM, NO ONE WAS THERE TO RECEIVE ME. FROM 12PM-3PM I UNDERWENT SO MANY SECURITY TESTS -- VIEWS OF THE BACKSIDE FRONT SIDE CORNERS EVERYTHING IN MY TESTING LOCATION but nooo.....
Furthest I got was to LawHub log in. Logged-in, no LSAT to take. Was asked to log out again and log back in. Then, couldn't log back in at all
FILED A COMPLAINT TO LSAC AND PROMETRIC HOPEFULLY I CAN RETAKE
@baybunny408 Ugh I'm so sorry to hear that.... P.S. best username I've seen yet
taking it remotely is horrible Engllsh is limited and tech problems galore
I second this. You can only take the LSAT 7 times in a whole life time. I wasted an attempt and had many problems at home (loud neighbor, proctor couldn't get my test to load again after the break, had to re log back in and it took an extra 40 minutes, ect) Taking it at the testing center was a great experience.
Oh good Lord, I'm so sorry that happened. Well, I'm glad you were able to finish and I will keep this in mind when I register lol
