The LSAT This Week
Welcome to The LSAT This Week! This is a weekly blog series with all you need to know about the LSAT®, including upcoming deadlines, how to prepare for the test, how to avoid having your session flagged, and more. Be sure to come back often to read the latest information you’ll need to know as you prepare for your test.
Upcoming Deadlines for the June LSAT
Scheduling: Scheduling for the June LSAT opened on Thursday, May 25. Registered test takers should have received an email communication with instructions on how to schedule their test and the scheduling window available to them.
Remember that you have until Wednesday, June 7, at 11:59 p.m. ET to schedule your testing day and time. If you are unable to schedule your test by this deadline, you can opt to request a test date change (fees will apply) through your LSAC account. However, you will not be able to schedule for the June administration.
If you want to change to a future administration, you can do so until June 8 at 11:59 p.m. ET (fees will apply) through your LSAC.org account.
LSAT Writing: All test takers must have a completed LSAT Writing® sample on file in order to receive their score or have their score released to law schools. LSAT Writing for the June LSAT opened on Thursday, June 1. Given the large volume of test takers, we strongly encourage you to complete your LSAT Writing as soon as the window opens to complete it. Remember that if you have an LSAT Writing sample from a previous LSAT administration, you do not need to submit a new writing sample.
Score Preview: LSAC offers a Score Preview option for test takers who wish to see their LSAT score before deciding whether to keep it and have it reported to law schools or, alternatively, cancel the score. Test takers who purchase the Score Preview option will receive their scores at the same time as other test takers (assuming they have completed their LSAT Writing and have no holds on their accounts) and will have six (6) calendar days to decide if they want to cancel or keep their score.
For the June 2023 LSAT, test takers are eligible to purchase Score Preview for $45 through 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 8. After the test, Score Preview will be available for $75 beginning Saturday, June 17, through Monday, June 26, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Registration for the 2023-2024 Testing Cycle is now open!
Registration for the 2023-2024 testing cycle is now open. Test takers have the option to register for any LSAT administration through June 2024. Furthermore, starting in August, most test takers will have the option of taking their LSAT at home in the currently online, remotely proctored format or in person at a professional testing center.
When registering, test takers will be asked to state their preference of whether to test at home or at a test center. Regardless of your choice, you will not make your decision final until after scheduling opens for the administration you’re registering for. For more information, please visit the LSAT page on our website to view the testing dates and learn more about testing at a test center or testing remotely.
Test Taker Pro-Tip of the Week: Stay in Frame
While taking the remotely proctored LSAT, it’s important to remain in camera view. This includes when you are working on your scratch paper (for the multiple-choice test only as scratch paper is not permitted for the writing sample). Going out of camera view raises concerns and then causes your session to be flagged for additional review.
