LSAC Remote Testing Restrictions

[sunshine1999]

Hello!

Kind of a random question, but I was preparing to take the June test through remote proctoring in my apartment. I've just read the restrictions and it says that you cannot be in a room with windows, however, I live in a small apartment and my room has many windows. I live on the 20th floor of a building with no neighboring buildings nearby. I do have shades I can close, but they are not blackout shades.

Will this be a problem for the remote proctor? / Is there anyway to check with Prometrics before the exam?

Thanks!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (I also plan on taking the June LSAT remotely), but I believe you can't have "floor-to-ceiling windows or glass walls," but a window might be okay?

It depends on the proctor -- some are more strict than others -- but in this case, you should be fine.

This is what LSAC states on their site:
"The place where you take the Test must be a quiet, enclosed, and private setting that is incapable of being viewed or accessed by other individuals during the Test (e.g., you may not take the Test in a location with glass walls, in a cubicle in a shared office space, in a hotel lobby, or in any other public space)"

So, as long as shades cover your windows -- and for good measure, you can show the proctor you're on the 20th floor -- then you should be ok.
