Here are my notes related to the LSAT Flex from the LSAC webinar about law school & COVID today:
Equipment/computer requirements for LSAT Flex can be found here: https://support.proctoru.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011772748-Equipment-Requirements
Going beyond June, LSAC is prepared to hold LSAT Flex until restrictions are lifted on gathering in larger groups. They don't want to call July too early, but they will monitor how states' regulations are changing.
Don't let technical challenges worry you. If your computer is not reliable, LSAC will work with you. Don't hesitate to contact them with concerns.

Each of the three sections (LR, AR/LG, RC) will be equally weighted.
It seems like the level of difficulty varied a lot for today's test-takers. Personally, RC was rough and LR was great, with LG somewhere in the middle. Overall, it wasn't the worst I've ever had but it wasn't the best. I definitely worried a lot more about missing a few than I would have with the typical LSAT, since there are fewer questions overall on the Flex. It seemed like each question had heightened importance. But it was my first test so I don't have any real point of comparison.
I had LG first, then RC, then LR. It was nice to end on a high note because LR was definitely my strongest section today; I've never run out of time during RC before, so it was discouraging to have that happen. I've worked so hard to get my speed up on LG but still couldn't quite get to all the questions on the final game. I'm not sure how I'm feeling but at least happy it's over after so much anticipation.
RC has always been strong for me, so I was unused to feeling so rushed. I've never liked science passages though, so I guess I should've expected to struggle on that. LG seemed typical to me and it was nice to have it first so that I could get it out of the way, but I didn't quite finish the last game, which was frustrating. I thought that LR was a breeze and I had 7 minutes to check my answers -- I wished that I could have applied those 7 minutes to the other sections!
RC was the hardest it's ever been for me, I thought LR was easy, and LG was fine except I ran out of time on the last game. One blessing was that LG was first; I hate it so much, so getting it out of the way was nice!

I got this question wrong because when I read choice C, I thought about how the passage says that all social systems follow this pattern. If all social systems' values are going to be undermined by labor-saving technology, wouldn't it be true that choice C is impossible, because "a social system whose values are not susceptible to change" does not exist?
I had the correct answer originally but confused myself during blind review. I misinterpreted "always almost impossible"to mean "almost always impossible" on my second go-around, which made me think that A was too strong of a statement for something that would not necessarily happen in every case. Tricky!!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing. Good luck with your decision!
If you want to push back your test date to do more PTs, that's one thing, but I would not delay simply in the hope that future tests will not be LSAT Flex. I would be very surprised if the July and August tests are in-person. LSAC is prepared to replace future test dates with LSAT Flex indefinitely depending on restrictions.
