Here is an example of a complaint with regard to the new answer-choice elimination feature and highlighter functionality. If you have similar concerns, feel free to use this as a template:
Dear LSAC,
I am writing to express my concerns regarding the new user interface introduced for the August 2026 LSAT and beyond. Specifically, I am concerned about the changes made to the answer-choice elimination feature and the highlighting functionality.
The updated answer-choice elimination feature now requires test takers to toggle the masking/strike-through tool before they can eliminate an answer choice. This adds unnecessary steps to a task that was previously completed with a single click, increasing the time and attention required for an action that many test takers perform repeatedly throughout the exam.
Similarly, the new highlighting feature is significantly less efficient than the previous version. Rather than automatically highlighting selected text, it now requires interaction with a pop-up menu before the highlight is applied. While this may seem like a minor change in isolation, the cumulative effect over the course of a timed exam is meaningful. Test takers frequently rely on highlighting and answer elimination as integral parts of their testing strategy, and introducing additional clicks and interruptions creates unnecessary friction during an already highly time-constrained assessment.
Beyond the immediate impact on efficiency, these interface changes also disadvantage individuals who have spent months preparing with the previous testing platform. Many students have developed habits and workflows around the prior interface, and changing core functionality shortly before or during an active testing cycle forces them to devote additional time to adapting to the platform rather than focusing on the skills the LSAT is intended to measure.
I respectfully request that LSAC reconsider these interface changes and, if possible, restore the previous single-click answer elimination feature and the automatic highlighting functionality. At a minimum, I encourage LSAC to evaluate whether these modifications meaningfully improve the testing experience or instead introduce unnecessary obstacles that do not enhance the exam's purpose or fairness.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate your willingness to consider feedback from test takers and hope these concerns will be taken into account in future updates.
