LSAT Inbox
Welcome to the LSAT Inbox! This is a weekly blog series that answers frequently asked questions about the LSAT. We encourage you to check back often for answers to more questions you may have as you prepare for the test.
LSAT at testing center will be an option now … but is it still online, though?
Starting with August 2023 administration of the LSAT, most test takers will have the option between taking their test in person at a test center or the online, live remotely proctored test at home.
Regardless of whether candidates choose to take the test online or at a test center, the format and content of the LSAT will remain the same.
For more information, visit LSAC.org and be on the lookout for a webinar invitation. LawHub, powered by LSAC, will be offering a free webinar on May 18 that will address all the details regarding both modalities of testing.
Can I use my phone as a hotspot during the test?
One of the most important needs, if you’re taking the LSAT at home, is to have a reliable and stable internet connection. While phone hotspots are useful, they often run into system slowdowns and dropped signals, so it is not recommended.
For optimal performance during testing, we recommend a very strong, stable WiFi signal or, if possible, a computer that is connected to modem or router with an ethernet cable.
I am a U.S. resident taking the test in the U.S. Will there be a range of dates to choose from, or am I required to take the exam June 9?
The June LSAT will be administered in an online, remotely proctored format, starting on June 9. Test takers in the United States and Canada will have the option of choosing a test date on June 9 or June 10. International test takers, and test takers with approved accommodations for a paper and pencil format will test on Tuesday, June 13.
Scheduling for the June LSAT will open on Thursday, May 25, 2023. At that time, all registered June LSAT test takers will receive an email communication with details and instructions on how to schedule your June LSAT.
