Friend of mine said she’s been waiting for almost 2 hours for a proctor to “arrive” so she can start her test.

This happened to me too. I waited for a proctor for like an hour, then as soon as I was assigned one they disconnected, so I had to re-download the proctor app which put me all the way at the back of the line. Waited over an hour again, all the while unable a hold of anyone on their live support chat or on the phone. Finally got a support person on the chat who was like "Sorry you should receive the next free proctor." All said and done it was basically more than 2 1/2 hours after my appointment that I was finally able to take the test.

Other than that no technical issues, once I got a proctor I didn't have any problems, I just left them on mute and we communicated through the chat box. Test was definitely challenging.

Did the LR section seem more difficult then normal?

Yes, I thought so. Probably the hardest of the three for me, but I already see someone else thought it was the easiest, so it just really varies.

If you're registered for the March or April LSAT like me, you probably got an email with this sentence in it: "Candidates currently registered for the April 2020 LSAT will be automatically registered to take the LSAT-Flex in the second half of May unless they choose another option (see below)." So of course I assumed I didn't need to do anything to be registered for the May LSAT-Flex test.

I was surprised then to see this tweet from Dave Killorian (CEO of PowerScore and a must follow for updates):

So I log into my LSAC account only to see a banner at the top of my home page that indicates I have to OPT-IN to take the May LSAT-Flex, and that the deadline to do so is 4/17. I don't know what the hell LSAC is doing telling people they are automatically registered and then requiring people to opt-in, I was so pissed.

All this to say, if you were signed up for March or April, log into your LSAC account and DOUBLE CHECK that you are registered for the May LSAT-Flex. You may still need to opt-in.

At the webinar by LSAC regarding LSAT-flex, they mentioned that LR will not be double scored. They also stated that the questions will not be easier or harder than any other LSAT.

Interesting, I don't totally understand how that will work... did they say anything else about the scoring/weighting?

I haven't seen anything about how they are weighing the questions, but here is my thinking: if i was aiming to get -2ish per section for a total of -8-10 and a 170ish, i can't go wrong keeping that same goal in mind for the Flex as well. That is, I'd think that missing about -2 per section on the LSAT Flex would give me about the same score.

Does this make sense or do y'all think I am way off?

does anyone think the annotation that it was a flex will hurt in admissions? i dipped from the april test in late march so i am not eligible but i think the june test will count for more

Powerscore CEO says it'll count the same https://twitter.com/DaveKilloran/status/1247675444343660544?s=20

I'm signed up for April and I think I'm going to do the May flex test. Also it looks like Mr. Killoran agrees with you @ and good tip on following him @

My main question is, are we better or worse off only having three sections? Less to draining but also less room for error? What do people think?

Are you sure?
