In-Person Testing at a Prometric Test Center
LSAC offers most test takers the choice of whether to test at home in an online, live remote-proctored testing environment, or in person at a Prometric digital testing center. We are committed to giving test takers the choice of whichever option works best for them, and based on test taker feedback, we will continue to offer the LSAT in both modalities for the 2025-2026 testing cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the test centers located?
Prometric operates hundreds of test centers in the United States and abroad. In the United States, they operate testing centers in all 50 states. Although the concentration of testing centers is larger in the major metropolitan areas, Prometric’s test center footprint is built to test taker needs. Thus, Prometric scales in markets where there is a need or increased demand. Prometric’s team of dedicated analysts will work with LSAC to assess capacity needs and adjust as needed. Sometimes that will mean adding new test centers, but we will also address changing market needs by expanding hours of operation and adding temporary sites for windowed exams as needed.
What kind of equipment do I need in order to take the LSAT at a test center?
All equipment and materials, including scratch paper and pencils, will be provided by Prometric to all test takers who choose to test at a testing center.
If I test at a test center because I don’t have a computer or reliable internet or a quiet place to test, can I complete my LSAT Argumentative Writing at the same time?
No. LSAT Argumentative Writing will continue to be administered in a fully online, remotely proctored format. LSAT Argumentative Writing will continue to open 8 days prior to the start of each administration and is available 24/7, 365 days a year so that you can complete it at a time that is most convenient for you.
Is there a difference in the fee between in-person and remote testing?
No. The LSAT registration fee will be the same regardless of whether the test is taken in person or remotely.
