LSAT-Flex: Do I Like It?

LSAT-Flex: Do I Like It?

I like the idea of an online LSAT for so many reasons - primarily its convenience.

I don't see LSAC compromising the integrity of the exam or cheapening it in LSAT-Flex, at least with regard to test security.

From a content perspective, I do have to admit I'd prefer the exam contain 1/2 Logical Reasoning rather than 1/3 Logical Reasoning. And the exam's overall length is obviously a significant difference, but I'm not sure it's particularly impactful in terms of predictive ability.

One major unresolved question is how LSAC would field-test questions if they weren't widely administering experimental sections.

Regardless, LSAT-Flex is here (at least for the short-term), and everyone I've spoken with in admissions says they'll consider LSAT-Flex scores the same as regular LSAT scores.

(It's also worth noting that a 3-section online LSAT is still probably a much better predictor of 1L grades than the GRE or any other standardized test we have.)
