Apparently the LSAT Administration had equipment issues across North America so they had to cancel, but they never shared what they were. But then a later email sounded as if there weren't enough test proctors, so not sure what really happened but this threw my application process plan off a bit. Anyone else impacted by this? Has this happened before? Sometimes staying traditional with paper and pencil exams works best. I'm still waiting for my confirmation that I can take the January 2020 exam and I've been on hold for an hour with the LSAC line.

Well they cancelled the November exam anyhow, so most who didn't take it then either took a makeup option on 12/8, or will do the January date tomorrow. How far out do you plan to delay?
@biancarochester977 How did you score get cancelled without your consent? Their phone line is TERRIBLE. I literally was on the line for over an hour after they shared the unfortunate news of cancelling the November exam. I would send an email and ask them to escalate it up to management. For such a professional exam/organization, the latest happenings are so disappointing. I hope you can get this resolved.
Hi Umich,
Apologies on my delayed response as I didn't get the site notifications. Well they sent a follow up email with makeup exam date/options and I chose the one for January since I was out of the country for the December date. I hope this has been resolved for you. Also, don't forget to ask about the fee waive they were offering due to their inconvenience.
Hey there,
I received an exam cancellation email from LSAC literally on the evening of 11/23 while doing last minute studying for the 11/25 exam. They claim there were equipment issues but never explained what they were. This was an inconvenience for me because I'll be overseas for the 12/8 makeup exam (which is in paper). I literally booked my trip after paying for the LSAT thinking I would not have to go away with this exam on my mind. The only other option apart from fully cancelling is to sign up for the January exam. I did that but still haven't received my confirmation. This threw me off schedule because I planned to do a retake for January if not satisfied with November's score, so that way I can still make early admission. I'm also very disappointed that they will not allow November test takers to have a disclosed test. That was one of the other main reasons I signed up for November. I would advise you to call the LSAC line for more information (even though they've had me on hold for an hour)....215-968-1001.
Congratulations!!!
@erikareanne495 So sorry that you experienced that. I was told the November exam was cancelled for all of North America, so I'm a bit surprised that you were able to take yours. They claim cancellations were due to equipment issues but now I'm wondering if this was not true.
