Here's a great timeline for you! https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/admissions-timeline/
I would also reach out to your top schools and just ask. I did that recently and they said an addenda was unnecessary.
I didn't show my paper either and my writing sample was approved within about a week!

do we have to create a proctoru account prior to signing up for our test day/time? I haven't heard anything about this and I want to make sure I get the date I want because it is the only day I am available. Also, how do I sign up for ProctorU?
They will send you an email! LSAC creates your ProctorU account using the email you signed up for LSAC with. They'll automate a password and you can change it.
Hey Nicholas! The exam in November is a Flex - you won't be able to take it at your nearest testing center. We should be getting an email soon to schedule our time slots to take it online.
Yes!! It walks you through every part of the application, and I believe it's only $20 or something like that.
Hi! I took my writing sample August 30 and it was approved and processed within about 5 days.
Yep there is a timer! It looks exactly like the practice tests on LawHub. I'm not sure as far as colored writing utensils or paper.
You can test your equipment on the ProctorU website (not with a real proctor). Most people go through test day with no equipment/tech issues. :) I tested mine before the June Flex and had no problems!
I would definitely listen to the Powerscore LSAT podcast episodes on the Flex for more info. Essentially there are a ton of different versions of the Flex to prevent cheating, given that it's taken in many different time slots over the timespan of several days.
What has helped me is pretending I'm fascinated by every reading comprehension I come across, and reading it that way. In my head, I'm like "Oh, the Internet and privacy laws in the 80s? Interesting!!"
I swear it helps!
I took the Flex in June, it looks exactly like the practice tests on LawHub. So there is a timer!
It is 3 sections - 1 LR, 1 RC, and 1 LG. Read here for more FAQs. :) https://www.lsac.org/update-coronavirus-and-lsat/lsat-flex
I used lined paper! Just had to show the proctor both sides so they could verify it was blank.
If you all check the LSAT reddit page, it answers a lot of your questions! https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/
All information you're looking for can be found on the LSAC website. Here's the link! https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat/about-lsat-writing
Sorry that happened to you. I hope LSAC can help! Why does it matter that the proctor was Indian, though?
Yes! Here is a link to FAQs. https://www.lsac.org/update-coronavirus-and-lsat/lsat-flex
"Generally, your desktop must be clear of anything not test-related and should only have:
Five blank sheets of scratch paper
Valid ID
No. 2 or HB pencils
A highlighter
An eraser (no mechanical erasers or erasers with sleeves)
A pencil sharpener
Tissues
Beverage in plastic container or juice box (maximum size: 20 oz/591 ml). Aluminum cans are not permitted."
I'm getting an HTML5 error on every video despite them working earlier today for me. I've tried different browsers, incognito mode etc. Any advice?
I would give them at least a few months in advance to write their letters - plenty of time!
I would also keep in mind that most applications limit your letters of recommendation that you can submit to 2-3.
