How to Choose Your LSAT Date
There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing your LSAT test date, but a simple rule of thumb is to take the LSAT in time that the law schools you are applying to will receive your scores before the deadline. The majority of law school deadlines can be found on their websites under their Admissions page.
If you plan on applying to law school for their Fall admissions, plan on taking the test either in the June or September testing slots the calendar year before. Taking the LSAT in December or February can still work for regular Fall admissions, but you run the risk of the law schools already having filled some of their incoming class seats from students who took the earlier LSATs.

Preparing for Your LSAT Test Date
You should plan on spending at least 3-4 months preparing for the LSAT. This can be done through LSAT home study programs or through live or in-person classes. Whatever you decide is the best way for you to prepare for the LSAT, be sure to work through as many official LSAT practice questions as possible in simulated conditions to be adequately prepared for the test day.
How Much Does the LSAT Cost?
For the August 2023 – June 2024 testing year, the LSAT costs $222. Additionally, the CAS (Credential Assembly Service) fee is $200. The CAS is the central hub for all documents required for your law school application, including your transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.
How to Change Your LSAT Date
If you want to change the LSAT test date that you registered for, you can do so before the Test Date Change deadline has passed. The LSAT test date that you’d like to change to must be within the current testing year, which runs from July through June. If you make this change on time, it is free of charge.
Up to 10 days after the Registration Deadline, you can request a test date change fee of $135.
11 days after the Registration Deadline up until the day before testing begins, you can request a test date change for $222.
There is a small caveat to those who are taking the last LSAT of the testing year. You may change the test date to the first exam of the following test date year. For example, if you are registered for the June 2023 LSAT (remember, the testing year ends in June) and you’d like to change the test date, then you would need to take the August LSAT.
Regardless of if you make the Test Registration deadline, you need to make sure you cancel your LSAT if you will not be able to sit for it – otherwise you will receive a designation of “Absent” on your score report of the law schools that you apply to.
