Getting Ready for Your LSAT
If you were granted a Remote Testing Exception, please view our Getting Ready for Your Remote LSAT page.
For the 2026-2027 LSAT testing cycle, we will be moving toward in-center testing for the vast majority of test takers, with limited exceptions for certain medical accommodations or too much distance for a test taker to reach an available test center. Please visit our Remote Testing Exceptions page for more information.
The LSAT® is a four-section test administered through LawHub. The multiple-choice portion is proctored by Prometric. LSAT Argumentative Writing, which you'll complete separately and online only, is administered by ProctorU.
If you’re registered to take an upcoming LSAT, review the steps below to make sure your test runs smoothly.

Timeline: Once scheduling opens
You’ll need to schedule a testing time with Prometric using the Prometric ProScheduler (opens in new browser window) tool. On the day you registered for the LSAT, you were assigned a scheduling window which is visible in JD Services (opens in new browser window). When scheduling opens, you’ll receive an email from LSACinfo@LSAC.org with details about how to schedule your test.
If you need help scheduling your testing time, please call Prometric at 1.800.350.5517. Make sure you clarify your time zone. If you have approved testing accommodations, please contact Prometric at 1.800.967.1139 and use Option 4.
Timeline: About two days before testing begins
At the test center, the test will be administered online through LawHub. Log into LawHub using the same credentials you entered when using LawHub’s JD Services.
About 24 hours before your LSAT administration begins, please make sure a new “LSAT” link is available in the left-hand menu of your LawHub Account. If you see this “LSAT” link, you’re all set. If the “LSAT” entry does not appear in your LawHub menu prior to your test administration, please contact LSAC directly at 1.800.336.3982, email us at LSACinfo@LSAC.org or use the chat feature available on LSAC.org.
Practice with the Authentic Test Interface
To familiarize yourself with the content and interface of the LSAT, we recommend using the free Official LSAT PrepTests® that are available through LawHub. Your account also includes a series of tutorial videos that can help you get better acquainted with the test format and features.
Prepare for Your Test Center Visit
You should arrive at the test center 30 minutes before your scheduled testing time. Make sure to have the following, as these items are required for admittance into the test center:
Your LSAT eligibility number and Prometric confirmation number (These numbers are available on the LSAT Status page in your account)
A physical and valid government-issued photo ID
At the Prometric test center, you’ll be assigned a test station, which will include a computer terminal, noise-canceling headphones, and all the materials you will need for your test, including scratch paper and writing utensil.
Items Prohibited from Your Testing Space
Upon your arrival at the test center, the Prometric staff will guide you through a check-in process, which will include assigning you a locker where you will store all of your belongings.
Prometric has created a video (opens in new browser window)that illustrates the check-in process and gives you a general idea of what to expect once you arrive. The video is not specific to the LSAT but may be useful in familiarizing yourself with the process.
Please note: Test takers are allowed to have their Prometric confirmation number and LawHub credentials written down for reference during the test startup process. Any notes will be subject to inspection by the test center administrator.
Once you’re at your test station, the on-site proctor will complete your security check, and you’ll be ready to begin your LSAT. Use your LawHub credentials to access your account and launch the test.
Should you encounter any problems during this startup process, please raise your hand. A Prometric staff member will assist you.
