LSAT/PreLaw  

June and July 2019 LSAT registration
Registration for the June and July 2019 LSAT is now open. The July 2019 test administration kicks off our official transition to the Digital LSAT-when approximately half of the test takers will be assigned to take the test in a secure environment on a Microsoft Surface Go tablet, and the rest will take the traditional paper-and-pencil test. You will find a comprehensive set of FAQs here.

Digital LSAT Familiarization Tutorial 
Our new, free Digital LSAT familiarization tool helps test takers build confidence by seeing how the digital test works. In its commitment to promoting quality, access, and equity in law and education, LSAC also offers free LSAT prep through the Khan Academy.
