The LSAT

1. Date: LSAC will offer the Spanish LSAT on February 8, 2014.
2. Locations: The Spanish LSAT will be offered only at LSAT test centers in Puerto Rico. The Spanish version of the test will not be available at any test centers in the 50 US states, in Canada, or in any other location outside of Puerto Rico.
3. Purpose of the Spanish LSAT score: There are three ABA-approved law schools in Puerto Rico to which LSAC will report Spanish LSAT scores: Inter American University School of Law, Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico School of Law, and University of Puerto Rico School of Law. LSAC will report scores from the Spanish LSAT only to those three law schools. LSAC will not report scores for the Spanish LSAT to any law school outside of Puerto Rico. To find out if scores from the Spanish LSAT will satisfy admission requirements for the law school or schools in Puerto Rico you are interested in, please consult with the admission office at those schools.
4. Scoring: The Spanish LSAT will be scored differently than the English version of the test. The Spanish LSAT will not be scored on the 120 to 180 scale used for the English version.
5. Law schools outside of Puerto Rico that currently require the LSAT will continue to require the LSAT in English: Because LSAC will not report scores on the Spanish LSAT to any law school outside of Puerto Rico, candidates who wish to apply to law schools outside of Puerto Rico (in the 50 US states, in Canada, or elsewhere) that currently require the LSAT must take the LSAT in English. This will apply to all applicants in Puerto Rico who wish to apply to these law schools, even if they take the Spanish LSAT in order to apply to law school in Puerto Rico. The Spanish LSAT will not be valid for applying to any law school outside of Puerto Rico.
