LSAT Test Dates & Deadlines
All dates and times are in Eastern Time (ET) • Receipt deadlines are by 11:59 p.m. ET
Staying on top of LSAT test dates and LSAT test deadlines is key to a smooth law school admissions journey. The LSAT is offered multiple times each year, and registration usually closes about six weeks before the exam. Whether you plan to take the test remotely with an online proctor or in person at a Prometric test center, registering early ensures you get your preferred LSAT test date. Knowing the exact LSAT exam dates and deadlines also gives you the structure to map out your study plan and maximize your preparation before scores are released a few weeks after test day.
