Exam Format:
The LSAT will continue to be provided in an online, live remote-proctored format through June 2022. The current three-section exam (LSAT -Flex) will be offered for the upcoming February 2021, April 2021, and June 2021 administrations. Beginning with August 2021, changes to the online format will be implemented.
Format for August 2021 and future administrations:
Starting in August 2021, LSAC will return to the pre-COVID practice of including an unscored variable section along with the three scored sections of the LSAT-flex. The unscored section will provide LSAC the opportunity to validate new test questions for future use. LSAT formats prior to the LSAT-Flex also included an unscored sections.
With the addition of a fourth, unscored section, the online LSAT will include a short break between the second and third sections of the exam starting with the August 2021 administration. This break is similar to the break mid-way through the traditional in-person LSAT that was used before the COVID-19 emergency.
The LSAT will continue to have three scored sections (Reading Comprehension, Logical Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning) and one unscored variable section for the next several years, and you can learn more about the LSAT for August 2021 and beyond on the LSAC website.
The LSAT Writing will continue to be a required part of the LSAT. Visit the LSAC website to learn more about the LSAT Writing.
Scoring:
Scores will continue to be reported on the 120-180 LSAT range, along with a percentile ranking. Question type and methodology will remain the same, and the expectation is that scores from the current LSAT-Flex and the LSAT beginning in August will be aligned.
