Hi Guys,

I'm planning in taking the Feb. 2016 LSAT in Hong Kong, and I am just wondering if any of you guys have taken it at international testing centers? I have heard that it is much harder/weirder there, especially the LG section in Asia, and that the testing format is kind of different too (because most ppl do extremely well there at LG). And some ppl say that the Feb. LSAT is weird/hard. So adding all these difficulties together, would i be disadvantaged at taking the february LSAT at an international testing center (i.e.Hong Kong). If anyone has taken the LSAT in Hong Kong or some international testing center, I hope to receive some input on what you guys thought about it.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I took the test in an Asian country and trust me, none of these is true.

Not sure where you heard that the test is harder in international centers. I took it in Australia, because I was teaching abroad at the time and that was the nearest testing center. In my case, we got a different test from what everyone in the States did, I'm guessing due to the time difference. The questions were completely different, but it was still very much an LSAT. The difficulty and style of the test was impossible to distinguish from any recent preptest.

Your score report will also be different, assuming you get a different test from the US one. It won't be as detailed - you'll only find out what you got out of 180, not your raw score, or what you answered for each question vs. the real answer. You also won't be able to find those test questions again, as far as I know.

Do you know how they do the curve? Is our curve going to be based off of America even though we had a different test?
I'm taking in Moscow, Russia and I had the same questions. Thank you!

I took 2015 Oct LSAT in Hong Kong. LG was def harder than average. Procters were professional.
