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. |
Your
LSAT Score : Getting Your Score |
By
E-mail : LSAT takers who have LSAC online accounts
will automatically receive their LSAT scores by e-mail
approximately three weeks after taking the test. This
is the quickest way to obtain Your LSAT score, and there
is no additional charge. Please keep Your e-mail address
current in Your LSAC online account to receive Your
score promptly.
|
By
Telephone : Test takers can obtain test scores
via TelScore approximately three weeks after taking
the test. There is a fee for TelScore, payable by credit
card only (go to www.LSAC.org for current fees). TelScore:
215.968.1200; available at all times except 6:00 AM
to 8:00 AM (ET) Sundays. LSAT TelScore provides Your
score and percentile rank for the most recently administered
test, but not for any previous tests. Percentile ranks
of nonstandard-time scores are not available and will
not be reported.
|
By
Mail : LSAC will send score reports by mail
approximately four weeks after each test. Test takers
who have LSAC online accounts will pay a one-time fee
to obtain hard-copy mailings of account information
that is available online. For score release dates for
each test administration, see the inside front cover
of this book.
|
Your
Score Report and Test Disclosure : |
The score
report that is displayed online or mailed to you will
show Your current test results, along with the results
of all tests—up to 12—for which you registered
since June 1, 2001, including absences and cancellations.
An average score is also calculated and reported when
you have more than one reportable score. Score bands
are reported for all LSAT scores earned on the 120–180
score scale. They reflect the precision of the LSAT
and are expressed as a range of scores that have a certain
probability of containing Your actual proficiency level.
Score bands for the LSAT are designed to include Your
actual proficiency level approximately 68 percent of
the time. These bands are reported to emphasize that
LSAT scores are estimates of Your actual proficiency
level. Ascore band is reported for each individual score,
as well as for the average score if you have more than
one reportable score. A percentile rank is also reported
for each LSAT score, reflecting the percentage of candidates
scoring below Your reported test score. The percentile
for a score is based on the distribution of scores for
the three-year period prior to the year in which the
score is reported. Examine Your report for further details.
LSAT takers who have LSAC online accounts will automatically
receive their LSAT scores by e-mail approximately three
weeks after taking the test. Test disclosure materials
and all other score-related material will be available
online at approximately the same time you receive Your
score. This information includes Your answer sheet,
score conversion table, and test book (for disclosed
tests only). Test books for disclosed tests will be
available online for six months following the test date.
If you take a non disclosed test, you will have access
only to Your score and percentile. Test scores are also
available by phone through our TelScore service. TelScore
will be activated AFTER e-mail scores have been sent.
TelScore users can obtain their answer sheet, score
conversion table, and test book either online or by
mail for disclosed tests. Please note that LSAC online
account holders will be subject to a one-time fee for
obtaining hard-copy mailings of account information,
including test disclosure material, that is available
online. |

Repeating
the Test |
Test takers
frequently wonder whether they can improve their LSAT
score by taking the test a second time. If you believe
that Your test score does not reflect Your true ability—
for example, if some circumstance such as illness or
anxiety prevented you from performing as well as you
might have expected—you should consider taking
the test again. Data show that scores for repeat test
takers often rise slightly. However, if Your score is
a fairly accurate indicator of Your ability, it is unlikely
that taking the test again will result in a substantially
different score. You should also be aware that there
is a chance Your score will drop. Law schools must have
access to Your complete test record, not just Your highest
score; therefore, LSAC will not honor requests for partial
score reports.
|
Unusually
large score differences are routinely reviewed by LSAC.
This could involve handwriting analysis of the writing
sample and other documents, comparison of thumbprints,
or comparison of a test taker’s answers to the
answers of other test takers seated nearby in the testing
room. The same comparisons may be performed in cases
of alleged misconduct or irregularity. Law schools may
compare Your original test score to Your scores on subsequent
tests. You should notify law schools of any facts relevant
to the interpretation of Your test results, such as
illness or extenuating circumstances. If there is no
reason to believe that one score represents a truer
estimate of an applicant’s ability, schools are
advised that the average score is probably the best
estimate of ability—especially if the tests were
taken over a short period of time. |
Limitations
on Test Taking |
Normally,
you may not take the LSAT more than three times in any
two-year period. This policy applies even if you cancel
Your score or it is not otherwise reported. LSAC reserves
the right to cancel Your registration, rescind Your
admission ticket, or take any other steps necessary
to enforce this policy. However, you may retake the
LSAT if a law school to which you are applying requires
a more recent score than any you have on record or approves
Your retaking the test, and the school provides LSAC
with written proof of its requirements no later than
the last day of registration for the test. |
Note
: LSAC does not automatically inform law schools
of a candidate’s registration for a retest. It
is Your responsibility to inform law schools directly
about Your registration for additional tests. |
Regular
Administration and Saturday Sabbath Observers Test Center
Codes |
These codes
may be used only to indicate a test center for the 2006-2007
academic year.
Do not use these codes for academic record
data. |
The LSAT is
not administered at every test center on all testing
dates. In addition, there is limited center availability
for each test administration. You should register as
early as possible, as Your chances of being assigned
to Your first-choice test center are greater. If you
register online, you can check test center availability
in real time. If you register by mail, and both of Your
test center selections are full or unavailable, LSAC
will assign you to a center as close to those centers
as possible; however, LSAC cannot guarantee that a center
located within a reasonable distance from Your preferred
centers will be available. Your LSAT admission ticket
will reflect the change in test center. Assignment to
a test center not indicated in Your LSAT registration
and/or test date change request does not entitle you
to a full refund or a free test center or test date
change. |
Some published
centers may have been closed subsequent to publication
of the current Information Book or the downloadable
test center code lists. |
A
mistake in filling in the center codes may cause you
to be assigned to a different center than the one requested.
Please check Your entries carefully on the registration
form. |
Note
: Walk-in registration on the day of the test
is not permitted at any test center for any test administration. |
