The LSAT tests skills necessary for success in the first year of school. These skills include reading comprehension, reasoning, and writing. LSAT test results can provide valuable insights about law school readiness for admission decision makers and candidates alike.
Here’s what you need to know to get ready for this important test.
Test Day Essentials
Compatible Computer
The LSAT is an online, live remote-proctored test. For test day, you’ll need a compatible laptop or desktop computer, a webcam, a microphone, and Chrome or Firefox web browsers.
Quiet Place to Test
You can take the LSAT at home or in another quiet, well-lit, private space. Make sure the room has a strong and stable Internet connection and contains a table or desk.
Valid Photo ID
To verify your identity, you’ll need to present a physical, valid international passport or a North American government-issued photo ID. The first and last name on your ID must match the legal name associated with your LSAC account.
Make sure to review the Candidate Agreement and the steps for a successful test day too.
Don’t have the necessary equipment or access to a quiet place?
LSAC is committed to ensuring test takers have the equipment and other resources they need to take the LSAT. If you don’t have the required equipment, internet access, or a quiet place to take the test, please complete the Assistance Request form in your LSAC online account by the assistance request deadline associated with your test administration. We will work with you to try to address your needs.
