LSAT Inbox — Test Day Prep

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.

What resources are available to prepare for the upcoming test?  

All candidates have access to LawHub for free. Your account contains multiple PrepTests with the ability to review your answers. Additionally, drill sets focusing on specific types of Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning questions are available for free on LawHub. You may also purchase a LawHub Advantage subscription for additional practice tests.  All registrants will also receive a Strategy Booster invitation six weeks before their LSAT date.  

Is there anything I should do in LawHub before my testing day?  

You should log in to LawHub at least once prior to your session, using the same credentials you use to log in to JD Services. Twenty-four hours before your scheduled test, you should see an “LSAT” option in the left-hand menu on LawHub.  

How can I check if my device is compatible to take the LSAT?  

Please test your equipment and system before your test through Prometric's site: System Readiness Check . You can complete this check at any time. Your system will be scanned for your operating system, screen resolution, microphone, camera, upload, and download speed. Don’t forget to disable any VPNs, add an exception to firewalls, and add exclusions to anti-virus software, as the system readiness check doesn’t check these items. Please be sure to review the Remote LSAT Checklist on our website.  

What browser do I need to use if I am testing remotely?  

You must use the Google Chrome browser.  

What type of computer should I use to take the LSAT?  

You may take the LSAT on either a desktop computer or a laptop.  

If testing on a desktop computer, please be aware that proctors do not allow you to lift the computer, so you must use an external webcam.  

If testing on a laptop, please plug your device directly into a power source, unattached to a docking station. Please be aware that Bluetooth speakers are not permitted.  

What do I need for a successful remote session?  

You will need a compatible laptop or desktop computer, a webcam, a microphone, and a supported browser. Make sure your volume and audio levels are set to at least 80% without the use of a headset, as headsets are strictly prohibited. You can take the LSAT at home or in another quiet, well-lit, private space that has a table or desk and chair, and access to a strong and stable internet connection. To verify your identity, you will need to present a physical, valid, government-issued ID.  

Can I review some helpful troubleshooting steps for the remote session?  

Yes, you may view the Remote LSAT Checklist for helpful technical and troubleshooting tips.  

Can I use the bathroom during my test?  

We encourage all test takers to use the restroom before beginning the test or during the intermission, but you can utilize the restroom during the test if needed. Should you need to leave the camera view for an unauthorized break during a test section, please let your proctor know, and be advised that the test clock will continue to run. Be prepared to show your valid photo ID and complete the room security scan again, just as you did at the beginning of the test.

How can I contact LSAC if I have additional questions?
