Hundreds of would-be lawyers faced significant delays while trying to take the first-ever hybrid LSAT remotely last week, Reuters reports. The Law School Admission Council, which administers the exam, said the problems stemmed from its online proctoring system. Frustrated test takers flooded social media sites with complaints about absent proctors and unexpected delays. The council apologized to test takers in an email Sunday, saying the exams “involved unacceptable delays and other problems” and that it was working with the vendor, Prometric, to correct the issues. It also said it will offer free retakes on Aug. 19 and 20 either remotely or in person. Examinees may also reschedule for another free test through June 2024. The council previously said 61% of test takers had opted to complete the exam remotely, There were no reported issues at in-person test centers.
