LSAT

Information regarding the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), administered by the LSAC (Law School Admissions Council), can be found on the LSAC’s website – lsac.org. The official website houses information for students regarding test formats, dates, and how to register. Students have up to 5 attempts for the LSAT, which can be taken on multiple dates. This test can be taken remotely or in-person, depending on personal preference. Student applications for law school can also be submitted through the LSAC’s website.

LawHub

LawHub provides additional study resources for the LSAT as well as information about schools and is also run by the LSAC. Free test questions are provided, but this should not be used as a main recourse to prepare for the LSAT.  LawHub shows employment data for every law school, which can be found here. Past Official tests can be purchased through a LawHub Advantage subscription ($120/year or free waiver).

Fee Waivers

Low-income students can apply for a fee waiver through LSAC. Fee waivers reduce the costs associated with the LSAT and applying to law schools by a significant amount. To find eligibility requirements, click here. Students who have a chance to qualify should apply, however, students cannot apply more than once. Please provide as much documentation as possible when applying.

Accommodations

Requests for testing accommodations for the LSAT can be applied for here. Approval of accommodation requests is required, so all requests must be made well in advance. A list of possible accommodations for students to select can be found here.

Preparing for the LSAT

To help better prepare for the LSAT, third party services can be used along with stand-alone studying and research. Free trials are available for students to take advantage. Investing in as much preparation as possible is highly recommended due to a majority scholarships being merit-based.

With there being a lot of information for students to take in while studying, it is important to remember:

  1. Don’t rush your preparation. It is common for students to study between 4-6 months, but many will take longer than that.
  2. Research the median scores of schools you’re interested in, then set a target score above those medians.
  3. Don’t sign up until you are ready. If your practice scores do not reflect your goal, there is no reason to sign up for the official test.
  4. Once you are ready, plan to take the test as many times as you need.
