Remote LSAT Checklist
If you’re taking the LSAT remotely, here’s a list of what to expect on test day and the steps you need to complete to ensure your test session runs smoothly.
Please note: Google Chrome is the only supported browser.
Read and review the Prometric ProProctor User Guide (opens in new browser window).
Remember that you are not permitted to connect your computer to a VPN, use private or incognito mode browser settings, or use a hotspot at any time during the test.
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 are set to at least 80% 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.
Shut down any background applications and disable any firewalls: Windows: Prometric ProProctor Software Installation (WindowsOS) (opens in new browser window) Mac: Prometric ProProctor Software Installation (MacOS) (opens in new browser window)
Turn off notifications on your Mac or Windows device. On a Mac computer, choose the Apple menu and then System Settings. Navigate to Notifications in the sidebar (You may need to scroll down). Below Application Notifications on the right, click an app or website, then turn off “Allow notifications.” You won't receive notifications for it until you turn on “Allow notifications” again. On a Windows computer, Select Start > Settings > System > Notifications. To turn on Do Not Disturb, select On. When Do Not Disturb is on, the notification center icon will change and hide any incoming notifications.
Open the ProProctor application (opens in new browser window) at least 30 minutes before your scheduled testing time.
Enter your Prometric confirmation number and last name.
Complete the 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 (opens in new browser window).
Click on Launch Your Exam, which will redirect you to LawHub to start the test.
Use your credentials to log in to 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.
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 test.
If you experience connection issues, consider using an ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi. If you disconnect too many times, you won’t be able to proceed with your test.
If your technician or proctor directs you to close out of the test, use the EXIT button.
Reboot your computer if you experience any technical issues. If you have followed all troubleshooting steps and exhausted all options to complete your test at your scheduled time, please submit a complaint within 2 calendar days of your scheduled test in your online account.
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. Visit Prometric's website for instructions to turn off background applications on a Mac (opens in new browser window) or Windows (opens in new browser window) computer or see instructions below.
