Remote LSAT Ending Due to Cheating Concerns
""We are not taking this step lightly. Remote testing with real-time proctoring was a vital service for both test takers and schools during the pandemic, and we understand that some test takers may prefer remote testing for convenience, comfort, or other reasons," Krinsky wrote."
""But given the security and test integrity benefits of in-center testing, moving toward in-center testing is the right decision at this time.""
""certain medical accommodations or extreme hardship in getting to a testing center,""
Beginning in August, the LSAT will be administered only in person at testing centers, with test takers completing the exam digitally on site. The change aims to protect test security and integrity and to deter potential misconduct. Exceptions will be allowed for certain medical accommodations or extreme hardship in getting to a testing center. The move to in-center testing is intended to reduce the number of "score holds" used while tests are investigated for security or technical anomalies. Remote testing was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic after a digital version was built in 2019; currently 40 percent of test takers complete the test remotely, and remote testers account for a majority of score holds.
