LSAT Practice and Test Fee Waiver Opportunity

Dear All,
The Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) is seeking subjects to take an experimental, online, digital version of the LSAT in October 2017.  Participant will receive a rebate of the fee for an actual administration of the LSAT with a reportable score.  

Details Here:

Dear Prelaw Advisor,

On October 14, 2017, LSAC will field-test the Digital LSAT at a test center in your area. We are seeking approximately 2,000 test takers at about 40 testing centers throughout the US and Canada to participate in this next phase of research into possible future LSAT delivery options.

The form being used for the field test has not been previously published for prep purposes.

Brooklyn College, Pace University, CUNY School of Law, and C.W. Post Long Island University in Brookville are the test centers nearest to your school. We hope that you will communicate this opportunity to your students and encourage them to participate. In addition to previewing the Digital LSAT at no charge, test takers who complete the entire exam and a follow-up survey will receive a free administration of the actual LSAT. Field test participants who take the test and receive a reportable score no later than the June 2019 administration will receive a refund check for the cost of their test. 

Complete details and registration information are at http://digitallsat.lsac.org/Pages/Default.aspx. We would appreciate any help you could provide in letting your students know about this unique opportunity.
