July LSAT? Will it be the Flex?

lilymdileo

I'm not sure which LSAT type I should be preparing for - I live in NYC, the epicenter of Covid19. What do you all think? LSAC hasn't responded to my emails.

They don't officially know yet but I say be prepared for that outcome. It's likely, I'm also in NYC. I'm just trying to retake because I got a 157 in February and I know my flaw was RC. I have been studying but not as diligently as pre-covid-19 because working remotely all the times and assignments just seem to blend. I signed up for June but I feel I'm not even ready for the retake and might aim for July seeing as my goal school is accepting scores for July and LSAT is offering a waiver for June test takers to take any other test through next April.

Does anyone have any insight on when LSAC will officially announce this?

@lilymdileo No chance they'd have an open testing center in NYC by July in my opinion. The only thing I'm interested in seeing is if the LSAC applies the flex as the universal testing method or if it will end up varying from state to state based on that states specific approach. It's crazy because I'm in Illinois, which is extremely restrictive and will be for the upcoming months, while 2 hours away in Iowa bars have opened back up to the public. If you're in NYC or Cali though I'm pretty sure they both cancelled in person schooling in the fall so definitely no in person LSAT in either of those places if that's true.

Hi Everyone, has anyone seen feedback on the at home “flex” test from April or May?

In addition, I’d like to ask if people here are hoping to take the flex version or hoping the original testing center or university proctored test will be administered?

Personally, I am happy to try the flex version, mainly because the number of sections are fewer and also because I am comfortable in my environment!

I’m just curious! Thanks

Did it sound like they were leaning towards to Flex?

No, LSAC rep did not provide info if July exam will also be Flex format. But, I do know that the university that is/was supposed to be my test site for the July exam is holding all of its summer courses online and all on-site events have been cancelled as well, so I suspect that they will not be allowing groups of any kind in their buildings for the next few months at least.
