The purpose of the West Coast Consortium of Private Law Schools (WCC) is to share information with prospective law students and to promote the opportunities and benefits of attending a private law school. The WCC hosts law school fairs, panels and other events throughout the year. What is the LSAT-Flex? lsac.org/update-coronavirus-and-lsat/lsat-flex In light of the COVID-19, LSAC is offering an online, remotely proctored version of the LSAT — called the LSAT-Flex. This offers a convenient and safe way to still take the LSAT. The August LSAT-Flex will occur during the week of August 29, 2020. Be sure to monitor LSAC website for details on how LSAT exams will be administered beyond August 2020. LSAT Prep: Check out lsac.org/lsat/prep for resources on LSAT preparation - including FREE prep resources offered through Khan Academy. Law School Application Tip: Admissions applications are typically reviewed on a rolling basis. Some law schools even offer early admissions deadlines. Plan your LSAT preparation and test taking date accordingly. The sooner your application materials are complete - the better. Apply early, if possible!
