LSAT Inbox – January 2026 LSAT Test Day and Troubleshooting

Welcome to the LSAT Inbox! This is a blog series that answers frequently asked questions about the LSAT^®. We encourage you to check back often for answers to more questions you may have as you prepare for the test. For additional questions to help you prepare for the January 2026 LSAT, check out our December 17 LSAT Inbox.  

How can I ensure a smooth remote testing experience?  

Turn off your notifications and adjust your audio volumes to a normal range prior to logging into ProProctor, as no further changes can be made once connected.  Make sure your background applications are turned off prior to the appointment. Instructions for turning off background applications can be found on our Remote LSAT Checklist.  

I’m an international test taker. Is there anything I need to know regarding the January 2026 LSAT?  

Yes, you will be taking your January 2026 LSAT on Friday, January 9, 2026. Please log in to your account and double check your testing time, including the time zone, to prevent confusion.  

What if I don’t have a compatible device to take the LSAT?  

If you do not have a compatible device for the January 2026 LSAT, we suggest you look into the option of borrowing a device from a friend or family member. If you’re registered for a future administration of the LSAT and lack a compatible device, you might want to consider scheduling to take the test at a test center.  

How can I contact Prometric technical support during my remote LSAT?  

First, restart your computer and reopen the ProProctor page. Then click the “Contact Support” button on the top right. Once on the ProProctor Help page, please click the chat button on the bottom right corner. You will be prompted to answer a series of questions before connecting to a live agent. Please be advised that the live agent will not be able to remote into your computer but will assist you with questions and prompted action to resolve your issues. Once your issue is resolved, they will direct you on the steps needed to reconnect to a readiness agent and then to a proctor.  

Will there be staff available during my in-person LSAT in case an issue arises?  

Yes, the test center staff will monitor you during your test, and their assistance will be available to all test takers. Please always make sure you follow your proctor’s instructions.

How can I contact LSAC if I have additional questions?
