Hello, I have taken it both ways once in person and once at home. My experience at a testing center was very smooth, comfortable, and such an easy process. As for my experience at home, I had technical difficulties for an hour. I would get to almost the end of the process and then something would go wrong, I'd have to exit and restart the process all over again. Once I finally got in, started my test an hour later than I was supposed too, I was already frustrated and my anxieties were through the roof. I was constantly loosing focus trying to make sure I was in the camera frame, etc. Unfortunately, I believe those events led to me scoring poorly, significantly lower than I did my first time in a test center.
It definitely differs per person, but I highly recommend taking it in a test center especially if you get easily spooked or worked up if things don't go smoothly and perfectly. I will be taking my LSAT this April one last time and have decided to take it in a center because of my experience. Good luck! :)
I definitely understand how you feel as I was denied from a few places last year. It really shot my confidence levels down, especially because I typically do well academically. However, here I am again retaking the lsat and going through my personal statement again. Keep trying, keep pushing, it may take some time and a lot of NO's, but don't give up. All it takes is ONE yes. :) give yourself some grace because not everyone has the dedication to go to law school and the processes it takes to get into law school
