For the 2026-2027 LSAT testing cycle, we will be moving toward in-center testing for the vast majority of test takers, with limited exceptions for certain medical accommodations or too much distance for a test taker to reach an available test center. Please visit our Remote Testing Exceptions page for more information.
This is important. If you were granted a Remote Testing Exception, please view our Getting Ready for Your Remote LSAT page.
The LSAT® is a four-section test that is administered through LawHub™ . The multiple-choice portion of the LSAT is proctored via Prometric. LSAT Argumentative Writing, which is completed by test takers separately, is administered by ProctorU.
If you’re registered to take an upcoming LSAT, review the steps below to ensure your test runs smoothly.

Step 1: Schedule Your Testing Time
Timeline: Once scheduling opens
All LSAT takers need to schedule a testing time with Prometric using the Prometric ProScheduler tool. On the day you registered for the LSAT, you were assigned a scheduling window which is visible in JD Services. When scheduling opens, you’ll receive an email from LSACinfo@LSAC.org with more details about how to schedule your test.
If you need assistance scheduling your testing time, please contact Prometric by phone at 1.800.350.5517. Make sure you clarify your time zone. If you have approved testing accommodations, please contact Prometric at 1.800.967.1139 and use Option 4.
Step 2: Familiarize Yourself With the Test Interface
Timeline: About two days before testing begins
At the test center, the LSAT will be administered online through LawHub . (You can log in to LawHub using the same username and password that you use to access JD Services.)
About 24 hours before your LSAT administration begins, make sure that a new “LSAT” link is available in the left-hand menu on LawHub. If you see this “LSAT” link, you’re all set. If the “LSAT” entry is not appearing in your LawHub menu 24 hours prior to your test administration, please contact LSAC directly at 1.800.336.3982 or email us at LSACinfo@LSAC.org.
Getting Started With LawHub
To familiarize yourself with the content and interface of the LSAT, we recommend using the free Official LSAT PrepTests® available through LawHub. Your account also includes a series of tutorial videos that can help you get better acquainted with the test’s format and features.
Step 3: Prepare for Test Day
Timeline: Before your scheduled testing time
Prepare for Your Test Center Visit
You should arrive at the test center 30 minutes prior to your scheduled testing time. Make sure to have the following, as these items are required for admittance into the test center:
- Your LSAT eligibility number and Prometric confirmation number (These numbers are available on the LSAT Status page in JD Services.)
- Your LawHub username and password (This is the same username and password you use to access JD Services.)
- A physical and valid government-issued photo ID
At the Prometric test center, you will be assigned a test station, which will include a computer terminal, noise-canceling headphones, and all the materials you will need for your test.
Items Prohibited from Your Testing Space
Upon your arrival at the test center, the Prometric staff will guide you through a check-in process, which will include assigning you a locker where you will store all your belongings.
Prometric has created a video that illustrates the check-in process and gives you a general idea of what to expect once you arrive. The video is not specific to the LSAT but may be useful in familiarizing yourself with the process.
Please note: Test takers are permitted to have their Prometric confirmation number and LawHub credentials written down for reference during the test start-up process. Any notes will be subject to inspection by the test center administrator.
Step 4: Start Your LSAT
Timeline: Your scheduled testing time
Starting Your Test at a Test Center
Once you’re located at your test station, the on-site proctor will complete your security check, and you’ll be ready to begin your LSAT. Use your LawHub credentials to access your account and launch the test.
Should you encounter any problems during this startup process, please raise your hand. A Prometric staff member will assist you.
