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.
How can I complete a room scan for the remotely proctored LSAT with a desktop computer?
If you have a removeable webcam on your desktop, you can use this device to show your room. If you don’t, your proctor may ask you to show your room using the camera on your smartphone or a mirror before you begin the exam.
Are there any free study options for the LSAT?
Khan Academy offers free LSAT preparation resources including interactive lessons, timed practice tests, strategies, tips, and everything else you need to prepare for and feel confident on test day.
LawHub also offers four full Official LSAT PrepTests for free. You can explore and practice in a self-paced mode to get familiar with the question types and the test interface. You can also practice using the built-in tools you’ll have access to on test day, including the test interface’s highlighting and underlining features and its text-sizing and line-spacing options. Whenever you’re ready, you can use the exam mode to simulate the timed conditions you’ll experience on test day. As soon as you’ve completed each practice test, you will receive instant scoring feedback to help assess your progress. After completing these four PrepTests, you can consider upgrading to LawHub Advantage to get one year of unlimited access to 75+ full Official LSAT PrepTests to master the skills you need to achieve your best score.
How long are LSAT scores valid for?
You may use any LSAT score from the current testing year or the past five testing years to apply for law school. Beginning with the 2021-2022 testing year, LSAT testing years run from July through June.
For example, if you plan to apply to a law school in January 2024, any LSAT scores you earn in the July 2023-June 2024 testing year will be reported. Any scores you earned during the following testing years will also be reported:
- July 2022-June 2023
- July 2021-June 2022
- June 2020-June 2021
- June 2019-May 2020
- June 2018-May 2019
If you took the LSAT in June 2018, you could use this score to apply to law school through June 2024. Results from LSATs in prior years will not be reported.
