Upcoming LSAT Deadlines
September 2023 LSAT: The registration deadline for the September LSAT, open to United States and Canada test takers, is Tuesday, July 25.
As a reminder, test takers have the option to register for any LSAT administration through June 2024.
Please note that, 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 final decision until after scheduling opens for the administration you’re registering for. For more information, please visit our website to view the testing dates and learn more about testing at a test center or testing remotely.
Scheduling for the August 2023 LSAT is Now Open!
Scheduling for the August 2023 LSAT began on Thursday, July 6 at 5 p.m. ET. All August 2023 LSAT test takers, regardless of whether testing remotely or in person, will use Prometric’s ProScheduler tool to schedule their test.
Test takers who opt to use a test center will have until Thursday, July 13 at 11:59 p.m. (local time) to schedule their test. If they’re unable to schedule their test by this deadline, they can opt to take the August 2023 LSAT remotely or request a test date change (fees may apply).
Test takers who schedule an in-person test can change their minds and opt for a remote test, but they must reschedule their test through the Prometric ProScheduler tool. No tests can be scheduled for in person after July 13.
Test takers who opt for remote testing have until Tuesday, August 8 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time to schedule their test. If they’re unable to schedule their test by this deadline, they can opt to request a test date change (fees may apply) through their LSAC account.

Test Taker Pro-Tip of the Week: LSAT Writing
As you get ready to do your LSAT Writing, keep in mind that scratch paper is not permitted for this part of the test. Other than that, the same rules which govern the LSAT apply for LSAT Writing. For a comprehensive list of all prohibited items, please see the LSAC Candidate Agreement. The use, or detection, of any of these items may result in the cancellation of your LSAT Writing session.
Like the multiple-choice LSAT, LSAT Writing is administered online through LawHub®. The writing portion of the exam can be taken on-demand and is administered online using secure proctoring software that you’ll install on your computer. Unlike the multiple-choice LSAT, LSAT Writing is proctored remotely by ProctorU.
To get better acquainted with LSAT Writing, we encourage you to do an LSAT Writing practice prompt available through your LawHub account and visit the Frequently Asked Questions section of our website.
