Seeing as the October test will most likely be Flex, can anyone on here who took the first international Flex test speak to how the time zones were? I've seen one poster say that she got time zones between 6pm and 6am, which would honestly be pretty miserable. I'm guessing, based off that anecdote alone, that the proctors are all based in the U.S. and that's why the time selection options are so bad?

I'm also in an Asian time zone pretty far off the U.S. timezones, so I'm wondering how that might work and whether I should start taking PTs late in the evening/really damn early in the day?

If this is the case, how did those of you who took the test at weird times adjust to it? Did anyone successfully petition for an earlier time slot?

Hi Cinnamon,

I don't recall exactly last time, but there were a wide range of options. It's not all in the middle of the night or morning. One thing to watch for when you sign up: CST will mean China Standard Time, not Central US Standard!

Also, all proctors are not based in the US. Many are outside of the US, in places like India, etc.

Regardless, I'd ask this question about time slots to LSAC, as they should have up-to-date info on this!

Thanks!
