Description
The Law School Admission
Test (LSAT) is a half-day standardized test required for admission to all
ABA-approved law schools, most Canadian law schools, and many non-ABA-approved
law schools. It provides a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal
reasoning skills that law schools can use as one of several factors in assessing
applicants. The test is administered four times a year at hundreds of
locations around the world.
Many law schools require
that the LSAT be taken by December for admission the following fall. However,
taking the test earlier—in June or October—is often
advised.
PLEASE
NOTE:
Almost all ABA-approved law
schools will also require that you register for the Law School
Data Assembly Service (LSDAS). To find out if you are required to register
for LSDAS, see LSDAS
Candidate Requirements.
The registration fee for the LSAT is $115. Late registrants must pay an additional $58.
