We can’t say whether testing at home vs in-person at a testing center is better for *every* student. However, I suspect it’s a more pleasant one for many.
Some Potential LSAT-Flex (At-Home) Benefits:
At home, you may have a great internet connection and if you live alone, no one is going to bother you. You're not going to have a proctor walking around and you won’t be in a room full of other test takers making noise, sneezing, and or distracting you in other ways. You also avoid the hassles of booking a testing center and being placed on a waitlist.
Perhaps most importantly, the LSAT-Flex exam is only 3 sections (2 hours) rather than 5, and home is a more comfortable environment for many.
Some Potential LSAT-Flex (At-Home) Drawbacks:
If you live with roommates, family, significant others, kids, or pets, taking it at home may not be so easy.
Perhaps most importantly, if your internet is shaky and slow, or if your computer's old, you might have technical issues.
Overall, most of the students I encounter say at-home and shorter is preferable.
However, one of the biggest concerns is having the right computer and a strong-enough Internet connection. You may have to borrow one, and LSAC is taking that into consideration.
LSAC is committed to equal access. If you have a barrier of some kind that prevents taking the LSAT-Flex at-home in a comfortable environment, reach out to LSAC. They’ll probably give you a loaner device and/or help you take it at a local law school, university, etc. if you need it.
