Generally speaking, a competitive LSAT score is above 165 with an accompanying 90th percentile placement for entry to the most selective Law schools.

LSAT scores are valid for 5 years.

With effect from September 2019, candidates may only sit for the LSAT three times in a single testing year; five times within the current and past five testing years; and a total of seven times over a lifetime.

The LSAT is usually held once a month in June, October, January, and March.

LSAT scores are typically available within 3 weeks of the test sitting.

Given the continuing uncertainty and disruption of the COVID-19 emergency in many regions, LSAC will deliver the January - April 2021 LSAT via the online, remotely proctored LSAT-Flex, instead of in-person. The LSAT-Flex gives candidates the opportunity to earn an LSAT score and continue their law school journeys despite COVID-19 restrictions on travel or public gatherings.

To meet the anticipated demand and the needs of the remote testing solution, LSAT-Flex is composed of three 35-minute scored sections (compared to the four 35-minute scored sections plus an unscored section in the traditional test).

LSAT-Flex includes one section each of Reading Comprehension, Analytical Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning. Test takers continue to take LSAT Writing separate from the multiple-choice portion of the test.
