Hi everyone! I'm an international test taker. As LSAC announced today, our paper test in June is becoming FLEX in July. This makes me very nervous since I've never experienced digital LSAT. So according to your experience, what kind of equipment works best for FLEX? Desktop v. Laptop, Mac v. Windows, with a mouse v. without a mouse, touch monitor v. non-touch monitor. Any advice is welcome! Thank you so much!

    Also curious about this! Is ProctorU compatible with a touch-screen laptop?

    Yes. When they say tablets, they mean iPad and similar devices. LSAC sent out the Surface Go for the test takers with hardware issues. As long as your device can run the necessary programs that is required to be downloaded and has a webcam, microphone, and audio then it should be fine.

    As for the OP, I highly recommend the device with the larger monitor. I prefer reading on a larger screen personally.

    I used a custom built PC with an ultrawide 34 inch screen. I really felt like it made a positive impact on my performance.
