Vital Information About the Digital LSAT from the Law School Admissions Council

Dear Michael,

July 15 is just around the corner — and so is the Digital LSAT! We have been hard at work for years leading up to this milestone, and we are excited to share with you some facts and resources to keep you up-to-date and informed. We encourage you to share this information with your students.

What to expect — launch day and score release. The LSAT’s official transition to digital begins with the July 15 test administration, when approximately half of the test takers will be assigned to take the test on a tablet provided by LSAC, and the rest will take the traditional paper-and-pencil test. In compliance with best practices in educational testing, test takers will not know in advance whether they will be taking the Digital LSAT or the paper-and-pencil version. They will receive their scores on Wednesday, August 28, 2019. The longer-than-normal timeframe to receive scores is due to the in-depth research that must be performed when a new mode of test delivery is introduced. Test takers will have until Wednesday, September 4, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time to decide whether to keep or cancel their scores. If they cancel their July 2019 test scores, they will be able to retake the LSAT at no additional charge through the April 2020 test.

Resources for you and your students. In our most recent newsletter, we shared our Friendly Reminders Leading Up to the July LSAT, a handy one-page reference guide for July test takers highlighting the test day experience. These helpful tips will give you and your students some valuable insights on what to expect on July 15. Additionally, our website features a comprehensive listing of Digital LSAT FAQs, and our Law:Fully blog has launched an informative series on all things LSAT, with a special focus on the digital test. If you have any questions about the Digital LSAT that are not covered by these resources, please feel free to reach out to prelaw@LSAC.org. 

We look forward to sharing an update on this landmark administration in an upcoming communication.

Sincerely,

Vivian G. Bowden
Senior Vice President for Schools and Institutions
