LSAT Update – August 14, 2024
Welcome to the LSAT Update, your source for the latest news you can use about the LSAT!
September 2024 LSAT Scheduling Opens Next Week!
The September 2024 LSAT will begin on Wednesday, September 4. Scheduling for the September test will open on Tuesday, August 20. If you’re registered for the September 2024 LSAT, you should’ve received an email with some details on how the process will unfold.
Due to a high volume of test takers, and to minimize wait times, scheduling for the September 2024 LSAT will be offered on a staggered schedule starting Tuesday, August 20 at 3 p.m. ET.
August 20 and August 21 are designated as “center-only” scheduling days. On these days, individuals who wish to test in a test center can schedule their test based on their desired day’s assigned time slot. Scheduling for those interested in remote testing will not be available on these two dates.
August 22 and August 23 are designated as “remote-only” scheduling days. On these days, individuals who wish to test remotely can schedule their test based on their desired day’s assigned time slot. Scheduling for in-person testing will be closed during these two days of “remote-only” scheduling.
Please note that September 2024 LSAT test takers who have an accommodation that includes a paper-and-pencil version of the LSAT will begin scheduling their test session, which must be at a test center, on Monday, August 19.
Full Refund Deadline Extended for the October 2024 LSAT
The full refund deadline for the October 2024 LSAT administration has been extended to August 29, the day after August score release. August test takers who may also want to take the October test are encouraged to register now. If you decide you do not want to take the October test after receiving your August score, please request a refund through your LSAC JD Account by August 29 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
August LSAT Score Release Coming up on August 28
We want to remind August LSAT test takers that scores are scheduled to be released at 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, August 28.
Unlike the multiple-choice section of the LSAT, LSAT Argumentative Writing is administered by Meazure Learning (ProctorU.) All test takers must have a completed and approved LSAT Argumentative Writing sample on file (or an LSAT Writing sample from a previous LSAT administration) to receive their score or have their score released to law schools. If you haven’t completed your writing sample, we strongly encourage you to complete your LSAT Argumentative Writing as soon as possible, since it can take up to two weeks to process your writing sample.
If you haven’t completed your LSAT Argumentative Writing sample, you can visit the LSAT Argumentative Writing page of your LSAC JD Account to find the “Launch LSAT Argumentative Writing” button. For the best experience, we advise that you begin your session only when you are fully prepared to complete your security checks and move forward with taking your writing test.
