Hi all! For those that have already taken the LSAT, what are your experiences in taking it online or in-person? 🥲
Which is better in your opinion (pros/cons)? Even if you haven't taken the other format, why did you prefer the format?
Context:
I am very new at all the LSAT test-taking experience. I planning to take my first LSAT in April and am very nervous. I want to register tomorrow (don't want to risk doing things last minute) and was considering doing it online, but am not sure if my choice on where to take the test impacts admissions in any way and such (e.g. online test takers are more at a disadvantage for admissions). I want to think taking it in-person is better but am not sure what testing facilities look like, procedures, etc. and if I would be distracted by other test takers. For online, I read there are camera requirements, and am not sure if I need to buy special equipment? My house is not the quietest place because of pets and busy family members, and was planning on taking it in a neighbor's home...hopefully that's allowed? If there was some unprecedented noise, such as siren noises, dogs barking, etc. would I be cited? I took the written driver's test online during COVID and my first account with the proctored system disqualified my test because there was a front door chime going off every time my parents were opening the door as they were bringing groceries inside and the test thought I had my phone with me. After this experience, I became more nervous on taking proctored tests especially when there is a cap on the number of LSATs one can take...
Thank you all ahead of time.
I may not reply to comments, and thought to leave this forum here also in case others have similar questions
So sorry to hear ):
I kept postponing my LSAT because I felt I would be in this situation honestly. Manifesting that your next test will be higher though. 🙌🥺
(I found live sessions to be helpful in giving confidence/more speed and some tips the syllabus leaves out.)
