Taking the LSAT remotely
LSAT Test Day

Remote Testing Checklist

Remote LSAT Checklist

If you’re taking the LSAT remotely, here is a list of what to expect on test day and the steps you need to complete to ensure your test session runs smoothly.

  • Before downloading the ProProctor software, please restart your computer and install any system updates. If you installed the ProProctor software for a previous test, make to sure to uninstall it and download again for the new test.
  • Make sure your volume and audio levels function without the use of a headset (as headsets are strictly prohibited) and are set to a normal range before opening the ProProctor application. You will be unable to do this after opening ProProctor.
  • If you will be testing on a desktop computer, please make sure to use an external webcam so that your testing environment can be properly monitored.
  • If you will be testing on a laptop, please plug your device directly into a power source, unattached to a docking station.
  • Open the at least 30 minutes before your scheduled testing time.
  • Enter your Prometric confirmation number and last name.
  • Complete the enhanced system check.
  • You will need a valid ID and your LawHub username/password. (These are the same credentials you used to register for the LSAT.) For more information about acceptable IDs, visit Identification Accepted for LSAT Admission.
  • Click on Launch your Exam, which will redirect you to LawHub to start the exam.
  • Use your credentials to log into LawHub.
  • Read and agree to the Certifying Statement.
  • Click Begin, and the time will start.
  • Take your break during the intermission.
  • Finish your exam, rip up your scratch paper, and submit.

Please note that Google Chrome is the only supported browser.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Restart and reconnect within 30 minutes of the issue to ensure your confirmation number is valid. If you connect after that time, you will not be able to proceed with your exam. 

  • If you experience connection issues, consider using an ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi. If you disconnect too many times, you will not be able to proceed with your exam.

  • If your technician or proctor directs you to close out of the exam, use the EXIT button.
  • Reboot your computer if you experience any technical issues. If you would like to report any issues you experienced during your exam, you can file a complaint. 
  • To optimize your computer setup and avoid any technical issues during your test, test takers should turn off any background applications before starting their test. See instructions below.
