Who can take the LSAT?

Only individuals with serious intention of applying for law school admission may take the LSAT.

What does the LSAT test?

The LSAT measures a student’s aptitude in those disciplines required in the legal profession: understanding and creating solid arguments, logical thinking, and document analysis.

How much does it cost to take the LSAT?

It costs $127 to register for a single LSAT administration.

An additional fee of $12.00 per law school is charged for score reports.

When are LSAT test dates and registration deadlines?

The LSAT is held only 4 times a year (June, September/October, December, and February).  On all of these above dates, it is held at 8:30 am with the exception of Monday June 8, in which case it is held at 12:30.  From a LSAT preparation company perspective, this system will be much easier to manage since our LSAT course dates would most likely remain relatively stable (ie. Every one taking the course at the same time). 2010 LSAT Test dates.

What accommodations are available for the disabled?

If you receive additional test time as an accommodation for your disability, LSAC will send a statement with your LSDAS Law School Reports advising that your score(s) should be interpreted with great sensitivity and flexibility.

Scores earned with additional test time are reported individually and will not be averaged with standard-time scores or other nonstandard-time scores.  Percentile ranks of nonstandard-time scores are not available and will not be reported. The test is available in regular print; large, 18-point-type print; and in braille. A nonscannable answer sheet is also available. Depending on the nature of the impairment, other accommodations may include, but are not limited to, the use of a reader, an amanuensis, a wheelchair-accessible test center, additional rest time between sections, or additional testing time. Requests for these or other arrangements, or the use of special aids, should be included when you submit your registration materials.
