Hello! I plan to take the January 2023 LSAT, and where I live, the WiFi can be spotty sometimes. What would happen if during the exam, my WiFi goes out? Would I be able to resume the exam if it came back on, or would I have to retake it another date?
Thanks!

I took my rescheduled exam this morning. I logged in 30 minutes early. I used the previously downloaded ProProctor set up, but it showed it downloaded again? I was connected with a proctor almost immediately and everything went perfectly well until the end. After I completed my exam, I chatted to my proctor that I was done, they did not get on. LSAC automatically timed out or booted me after a few minutes? Not sure, but I got a pop up screen that said I was logged out. The chat box was gone, so I was unable to demonstrate that I ripped up my papers.
A few things about the proctors--yesterday versus today. Yesterday, I had to show both sides of my tissues, today, they never asked. Yesterday, I had a necklace on, today I had to take it off. Yesterday, I had to show each sheet of paper, today I did not. Yesterday my bottle of water had a label, today I had to cut it off. Yesterday, I did not show under my chair, today I did. So it seems that they must have a checklist but maybe they only check a certain number of things? Not sure.
Overall, I did submit a formal complaint with LSAT yesterday and will again today. I feel my performance was affected due to the stress of yesterday and the inability to test yesterday. I missed a trip planned with my family this weekend to stay home and take this today, since the people I talked with yesterday (both LSAC and Prometric) said I HAD to complete it yesterday or today. I was only able to select from time slots 7am, 7:30am, 5pm or 6pm today. I have taken my practice tests (over 20) between 8-10am. I could definitely tell I was tired and not as focused. I'm just disappointed and venting at this point. :neutral:
I sincerely hope LSAC follows through on the email sent yesterday afternoon. I would like to retest later in the month. I hope ALL OF YOU receive successful outcomes!
I am in the same boat as you. Do you know if we can submit two formal complaints through LSAC for the August exam? I submitted one yesterday, but not sure if I can submit another one for today since technically it is the same exam. I am on hold with LSAC, but I understand their lines are super busy. Hopefully this can all be figured out soon!🙏🏼
