Prospective law school applicants take the LSAT®. Admission panels use LSAT® scores to supplement undergraduate records and other qualifications for graduate study. The scores provide common measures for comparing qualifications of applicants and aid in evaluating grades and recommendations. Most law schools will evaluate your LSAT® score as one factor used to determine your qualification for admission.
Most law schools require that the LSAT be taken by December for admission the following fall. However, many law schools advise potential applicants to take the test earlier – either in June or October.
