How much does the LSAT cost?

As of October 2026, LSAT registration is $253 for any test from August 2026 to June 2027. That price includes LSAT Argumentative Writing, and it’s the same if you’re taking the test again. Applying to law school adds more fees on top, and LSAC has a fee waiver if you can’t afford them.

Fees for applying to law school

Most US law schools, and some in Canada, ask you to apply through LSAC’s Credential Assembly Service (CAS). That costs $219. You then pay $45 for a report to each school you apply to.

Schools also charge their own application fees, which vary. Some waive them for people with an LSAC fee waiver.

If you can’t afford it: the LSAC fee waiver

LSAC offers fee waivers to candidates who are financially under-resourced. As of October 2026, both waiver levels include at least one LSAT with Argumentative Writing and Score Preview, a five-year CAS subscription, law school reports and a year of LawHub Advantage. To unlock the LSAT, you finish two PrepTests in exam mode on LawHub.

LSAC looks at your income against federal poverty guidelines, plus your savings and other factors. It recommends applying at least six months before the registration deadline for your test, but you can still apply if you have less time.
