For August test takers only – interactive demo of the minor changes coming in next year’s test UI
As we announced in February, we will be making some changes to the underlying test delivery platform for the LSAT, starting with the August 2026 test. These changes will help enhance test administration and test security.
While the majority of the new testing user interface in August will be nearly identical to the existing user interface, the move to this new test delivery platform will result in a small number of minor changes in the user interface. There are no changes to the format, structure, or content of the test.
Most of the UI changes in August will be minor, such as changes in how to access the highlighting function, how to flag a question you want to come back to, or how to increase the font size on your screen. Despite how minor the changes are, we know how important the LSAT is to both students and schools. We are committed to providing tools and materials so that people taking the test in August or later have time to get familiar with the new user interface so they can feel comfortable and confident on test day.
Today, as promised, we are releasing an interactive demo of the new UI , as well as a video and written summary
that highlight the minor changes in the new UI. This interactive demo shows virtually all of the changes we anticipate in the new UI; it’s possible that a handful of additional refinements may occur in the next two months as we finalize the new UI, such as the ability to clear your answer choice on a given question and leave it blank, but if so they will be minor, and we will call them out when we publish the next set of familiarization materials.
When we announced the planned changes in February, we also promised that we would provide the more than 50 full-length practice tests on LawHub in the new user interface by May so that people planning to take the test in August or later would have time to practice testing with the new UI. We expect to meet that timeline.
We want to be clear — for anyone taking the next two LSATs in April or June, the interactive demo we are releasing today and new UI practice tests coming by May are not for you; you should continue to focus your preparation on the existing materials which reflect the format that will be used for the April and June tests.
Only people planning to take the LSAT in August 2026 and beyond should familiarize themselves with the new testing environment.
We will continue to provide periodic updates, tools, and other resources to ensure a smooth transition.
