Most test takers will continue to have the option of taking the LSAT either at home in an online, live, remotely proctored environment or in-person at a digital testing center. Our goal in offering two different test modalities is to give each test taker a choice of which option works best for them.
Regardless of whether you choose to take the LSAT remotely or at a test center, the content of the test will remain exactly the same.
