Hundreds of would-be lawyers faced significant delays while trying to take the remote Law School Admission Test on Friday and Saturday, marring the first-ever hybrid LSAT.

The Law School Admission Council, which administers the LSAT, said the problems stemmed from the online proctoring system. Council spokesman Mark Murray said Monday that "hundreds and hundreds" of examinees were affected, but official numbers are not yet available. Frustrated test takers flooded social media sites with complaints about absent proctors and unexpected delays.

“I was so emotionally and mentally exhausted by the last section that it was pretty hard to focus, but I think I might have done okay still,” Milne said Monday. The council apologized to test takers in an email Sunday, saying the exams “involved unacceptable delays and other problems” and that it was working with outside vender Prometric to correct the issues.
