LSAT test day at a Prometric center

Where you can take it

Prometric runs hundreds of test centers, in all 50 US states and abroad. You choose one with free seats in Prometric’s scheduler. Canada uses the same dates as the US, but LSAC doesn’t offer in-person testing in Quebec because of Bill 96.

Remote testing is only for approved exceptions, such as living more than 180 miles or three hours from a center, and remote testers can only book the Friday test day.

The ID you need

• A physical passport, or a government photo ID from the US, a US territory or Canada.
• It must be current or have expired no more than 3 months before your test, with a recent photo, your first and last name and your date of birth.
• The first and last name must exactly match your LSAC account.
• Not accepted: US military IDs, student or work IDs, Social Security cards, birth certificates, photocopies and photos of your ID on a phone.
• Not sure about yours? Call LSAC at 1.800.336.3982 at least 14 days before your test.

What to bring and what you get

• Bring your ID, your confirmation number and your LawHub login.
• Prometric gives you three scratch paper booklets and two pencils. Don’t bring your own.
• Your phone, food and drinks go in a locker. Water is allowed in a clear container with a lid.
• No watches, headphones or other electronics. Head coverings only if they’re religious.

During the test

• You agree to the Certifying Statement, then click Begin to start the clock.
• In the 10-minute break after section two, don’t use your phone, don’t talk about the test and don’t write on your scratch paper. You show your ID again when you come back.
• Any other restroom break needs the proctor’s OK, and the clock keeps running.

Cheating and misconduct

LSAC counts copying or sharing questions, getting test content early, testing for someone else, bringing banned items and working on a section at the wrong time as misconduct. Even trying counts. Intent doesn’t matter, so an honest mistake isn’t a defense.

A finding goes to every law school you apply to or attend, stays on your LSAT and CAS reports for good, and can be passed to bar authorities.
