LSAT Inbox — November 19, 2025
Welcome to the LSAT Inbox! This is a 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.
When will my November 2025 LSAT score be released?
November 2025 LSAT score release day is Wednesday, November 26. Please note that you must have an approved LSAT Argumentative Writing sample on file, and there cannot be any holds on your account for your score to be released. LSAT Argumentative Writing opened on Monday, October 27 for the November 2025 LSAT.
How can I check if I purchased Score Preview for my current test?
Log in to JD Services and navigate to LSAT/The LSAT/LSAT Status: View All LSAT Information. Scroll down to see your LSAT Score Preview status in the “Status” column on the far right. Please note that the "Not Activated" notation does not mean that Score Preview has not been purchased.
Will I be able to see my score before the score release day if I purchased Score Preview?
No, Score Preview does not allow you to see you score before score release day. This service provides an option to review your score after it is released and gives you an opportunity to make a decision to keep it or cancel it within six calendar days.
Is LSAT Argumentative Writing required?
Yes. Your LSAT score cannot be released if you have not completed an LSAT Argumentative Writing sample. If you previously completed LSAT Argumentative Writing or LSAT Writing during the current reportable score period, your previous writing sample is still valid, and you do not need to complete an additional LSAT Argumentative Writing.
When should I complete LSAT Argumentative Writing?
You can access LSAT Argumentative Writing eight (8) days before you take the multiple-choice portion of the LSAT directly from JD Services.
To ensure your LSAT score is released on time, we recommend completing LSAT Argumentative Writing as soon as possible. However, it does not need to be completed on the day it becomes available. You will have one year to complete LSAT Argumentative Writing; however, your score will not be released until it is completed.
What if my LSAT Argumentative Writing sample is not approved before score release? Will I still be able to use Score Preview?
Yes, you will receive your score when your LSAT Argumentative Writing sample is approved, and you will be notified by email. If you have purchased Score Preview, it will be activated once your score is released, so you will have six (6) calendar days from the time your writing sample is approved to utilize Score Preview.
Where do I launch LSAT Argumentative Writing?
Go to JD Services and select the “Launch LSAT Argumentative Writing” link. You will be directed to LawHub where you will be automatically signed in to continue. You will be here briefly before being redirected to ProctorU. If prompted to create a new ProctorU account, you should use the same email address as JD Services.
If you have an existing account and can’t remember your password, please follow the “Forgot Password” steps on the ProctorU Support Page. Creating a duplicate account may cause delays in launching your test. If you have questions, please contact ProctorU at 855.772.8678.
Are there any room requirements for LSAT Argumentative Writing?
Your LSAT Argumentative Writing should be taken in a private, well-lit area with a secure and stable internet connection. You must have a chair and a desk or table. The area may have windows, as long as they are not floor-to-ceiling windows. Test takers will complete a video check-in process and be required to show their workspace using their webcam to ensure that only permitted items are in that space.
