How do I Register for the LSAT?

You should contact the company that administers the LSAT® in your area to register for the Law School Admission Test® (LSAT®). You can often register for the LSAT® online, and you can view testing locations and times in your area by visiting the official LSAT® website. It’s best to register as soon as possible, and the LSAT® will most likely be taken on a Saturday. If you need to take the LSAT® on a day other than Saturday, you may be able to do so if certain conditions are met.

The LSAT® is a comprehensive standardized test that many law schools in the United States and Canada require students to take before being admitted. To register for the LSAT®, contact the Law School Admission Council® (LSAC®), the test’s creator and administrator, for information on testing centers in your area. However, because there are usually multiple centers in a variety of cities, you should be able to register for the LSAT® at a location that is relatively convenient for you. You must pay a number of fees to take the LSAT®, and you may be charged additional fees if you register late or change your test location.

You must register for the LSAT® well in advance of the test date, and walk-in testers wishing to register on the day of the test are not permitted. Each year, three or four testing dates are usually available, with tests being given in February, June, October, and December. You should register for the LSAT® at least a month before the test date, and early registration is recommended to ensure you get a seat at the testing center of your choice. LSAC® has a complete list of testing dates and locations, and you can contact them for more information and registration details.

While the LSAT® is most often offered on Saturdays, you may be able to register for the test on a different day for religious reasons, though this is only permitted in certain circumstances. This is typically offered to Jewish people who are unable to attend a test on Saturday due to their Sabbath observance. Under this exception, a letter from a rabbi is usually required to register for the LSAT®.
