When can I take LSAT Argumentative Writing?

You can access LSAT Argumentative Writing eight (8) days before the start of your LSAT administration directly from your LSAC JD Account. Please complete LSAT Argumentative Writing as quickly as possible, as a completed and approved writing sample is required to release your LSAT score.

If you’ve already completed LSAT Argumentative Writing or LSAT Writing during a previous LSAT administration, you do not need to complete a new LSAT Argumentative Writing sample.

How can I launch LSAT Argumentative Writing?

Go your LSAC JD Account and select the “Launch LSAT Argumentative Writing” link. If prompted to create a new account, you should use the same email address as in your LSAC JD Account.

Where can I take LSAT Argumentative Writing?

LSAT Argumentative Writing should be taken in a private, well-lit area with a secure and stable internet connection. You must have a chair and a desk or table. The area may have windows, as long as they are not floor-to-ceiling windows. Test takers will complete a video check-in process and will be required to show their workspace using their webcam to ensure that only permissible items are in that space. Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions about LSAT Argumentative Writing and LSAT Argumentative Writing Tips pages for more information.
