| LSAT - Law School Admission Test
|
|
What
is LSAT ? |
The Law School
Admission Test (LSAT) is a half-day standardized test
required for admission to all ABA-approved law schools,
most Canadian law schools, and many non-ABA-approved
law schools. It provides a standard measure of acquired
reading and verbal reasoning skills that law schools
can use as one of several factors in assessing applicants.
The test is administered four times a year at hundreds
of locations around the world. |
Many law schools
require that the LSAT be taken by December for admission
the following fall. However, taking the test earlier—in
June or October—is often advised |
The registration
fee for the LSAT is $118. If you meet certain criteria,
you may qualify for an LSAC fee waiver. Late
registrants must pay an additional $60. |
If you register
for a specific LSAT administration during the regular
registration period, you are not eligible for late registration
for that same administration. Once you have registered
for a test during the regular registration period, you
may not withdraw or cancel Your registration and reregister
for that same test during the late registration period. |
Requesting
a Non published Test Center |
If it is impossible
for you to travel to a test center listed in LSAC online
registration, and you are located over 100 miles from
an open, published center, you may request that LSAC
establish a non published test center. Because it takes
additional administrative time to establish and open
a center, you should submit Your request as early as
possible before the deadline for non published test
centers. If you request testing accommodations at a
non published test center, all required documentation
relating to Your disability must be submitted in time
to meet the appropriate non published test center registration
receipt deadline. |
The fee for
a non published test center, in addition to the $115
test registration fee, is $213 US Dollars ($287 in Canadian
Dollars) for centers in the United States, Canada, Puerto
Rico, and US Territories and $284 US Dollars ($382 Canadian
Dollars) for centers in other countries. |
NOTE
: All credit card payments will be charged in US Dollars. |
To request
a non published test center, you must submit Your registration
by mail using the registration form included in the
LSAT & LSDAS Registration Packet. Call 215.968.1001
to request a packet. LSAC must receive Your form, request,
and fees on or before the receipt deadline for non published
test centers listed under the Test Dates and Deadlines
area of our web site. |
If registration
is received after the non published test center deadline,
efforts will be made to notify you that we will process
the request for the next regularly scheduled test date.
If there is no response within a reasonable amount of
time, we will return all registration materials and
fees. |
A
non published test center fee is required to establish
a test location that is not listed at www.LSAC.org
as open for the date you wish to take the test. A center
that is listed as closed for a particular date may be
opened if the required fee is paid and the center supervisor
is able to accommodate the request. |
Be
sure to: |
 |
Leave
the test center code items blank on Your registration
form. |
 |
Enclose
a letter of request noting the names of large
cities near Your preferred test location. It
would also be helpful if you could provide the
name, street address, e-mail address, and telephone/fax
numbers (including both country and city codes)
of an educational institution along with the
name of a staff member who may be willing to
supervise the test on the date for which you
are registering. |
 |
Include
the $115 LSAT registration fee and the non published
test center fee ($213 US Dollars [$287 Canadian
Dollars] for centers in the United States, Canada,
Puerto Rico, and US Territories; $284 US Dollars
[$382 Canadian Dollars] for centers in other
countries) and enter the amount in the appropriate
space on Your registration form. The non published
test center fee is not covered by a fee waiver.
LSAC will not attempt to establish a non published
test center unless the appropriate fees have
been received with Your registration form by
the deadline date. LSAC recommends that you
use priority mail to meet these deadlines. |
|
In case LSAC
cannot accommodate Your request, please indicate in
Your letter which of the following alternatives Your
prefer: a refund of Your test fees, registration at
the same location on the next regularly scheduled test
date, or an alternative test center. |

What
does the test comprises of: |
The LSAT is
designed to measure skills considered essential for
success in law school: the reading and comprehension
of complex texts with accuracy and insight; the organization
and management of information and the ability to draw
reasonable inferences from it; the ability to think
critically; and the analysis and evaluation of the reasoning
and arguments of others. The test consists of five 35-minute
sections of multiple choice questions. Four of the five
sections contribute to the test taker’s score.
These sections include one reading comprehension section,
one analytical reasoning section, and two logical reasoning
sections. The un scored section typically is used to
pretest new test questions or to pre equate new test
forms. The placement of this section, which is commonly
referred to as the variable section, varies for different
administrations of the test. The LSAT is scored on a
scale of 120 to 180, with 180 being the highest possible
score. A 35-minute writing sample is administered at
the end of the test. LSAC does not score the writing
sample, but copies are sent to all law schools to which
a candidate applies. |

Items
Needed for Admission to the Test Center |
Admission
Ticket
Whether you register for the LSAT online and print out
Your ticket Yourself, or you receive a ticket in the
mail, you must take the ticket with you to the test
center. Your ticket will contain the following pertinent
information: reporting time, reporting address, test
center instructions, and test center procedures. The
address on the ticket is a reporting address. For the
October, December, and February administrations of the
LSAT, candidates are required to be at the test center
no later than 8:30 AM. For the June LSAT, candidates
are required to be at the test center no later than
12:30 PM. The actual test date and reporting time at
foreign centers may vary. Refer to Your LSAT Admission
Ticket for the exact test date and time. |
At the test
center, be sure to sign Your ticket and carefully read
all information provided on the front and reverse sides.
If Your admission ticket is not signed or the certifying
statement is modified or altered in any way, a reporting
hold will be placed on Your file, possibly causing a
delay in reporting Your score. Your ticket may be used
only for the test date printed on it. Online registrants
can reprint the LSAT ticket if it is misplaced. If you
register by mail and do not receive Your ticket, call
LSAC at 215.968.1001 before the late registration date
listed inside the front cover. |
Check
Your online account the night before the LSAT.
Because LSAT test supervisors sometimes need to change
reporting addresses without much notice, LSAC recommends
that registrants print out their LSAT Admission Ticket
the night before the exam to ensure that they have the
most recent and accurate reporting address for their
centers. Test takers should not contact LSAT test center
supervisors for any reason. Test takers are not permitted
access to testing rooms prior to the exam.
|
Note:
Candidates should expect the test day to cover up to
seven hours. |
Identification
: You must take to the test center one current
valid photo ID bearing Your signature. The ID presented
must contain a recent and recognizable photo and visible
signature on the same form of ID. Acceptable forms of
ID include: |
- passport
- driver’s license
- student ID
- employee ID
|
The following
items are not considered acceptable forms of ID for
access to the test center: |
- Social Security
card
- Social Insurance card
- birth certificate
- credit card (including those with photo)
- expired ID
|
Note:
Admission to the test center will be denied
if Your first and last name on the ID do not match exactly
the first and last name on Your LSAT Admission Ticket.
If you have ID questions, you must contact LSAC (LSACINFO@LSAC.org
or 215.968.1001) with sufficient time to resolve ID
issues well in advance of the test day. |
IMPORTANT
: The ID must sufficiently authenticate Your identification
to the test center supervisor and must be kept with
you throughout the testing process, as it may be checked
at any time. Under no circumstances is access permitted
to the test center without proper identification. |
