Huge news for for August Flex

We will now allow test takers to use a regular or mechanical pencil, or a pen, while taking the LSAT-Flex. You will still need to show your writing utensil(s) to the proctor during the check-in period.

In addition, test takers may use soft, non-electronic, non-corded/banded, generic foam ear plugs, which will need to be shown to and approved by your LSAT-Flex proctor.

I like it!!

    Ear plugs could totally save me from my neighbor whose lawn-mowing hobby is utter randomness. And three cheers for Team Pen. This is huge. Thank you for sharing

    Do you have a link to the official announcement? This is huge for me. I much prefer pens and live on a very noisy city block. Definitely going to see how earplugs effect me.

    This is all great news. Now, is the pens/pencil rule an "either or" rule or a "not both" rule?

    Would be so helpful to create your master LG diagram in pen and then use the pencil to fill in & erase for the questions.

  • Hi. Doesn't seem to be much online yet but it was emailed to August test takers. Here is a little more on it.
