In light of the COVID-19 public health emergency, we are offering an online, remotely proctored version of the LSAT — called the LSAT-Flex. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic closely and will make other LSAT-Flex test dates available if the situation warrants. We plan to resume the in-person LSAT once conditions allow, in strict accordance with public health authorities and using all necessary health and safety measures. In the meantime, the remotely proctored LSAT-Flex will provide candidates the opportunity to earn an LSAT score even though in-person testing is not possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In May, June, and July, we delivered the first LSAT-Flex administrations. Nearly 33,000 candidates successfully completed the LSAT-Flex to continue their law school journeys. We are using the experience from the May, June, and July exams to make future LSAT-Flex administrations even better.

The August LSAT-Flex will be administered the week starting Saturday, August 29. Most test takers will test on either Saturday, August 29; Sunday, August 30; Monday, August 31; or Wednesday, September 2, with a small number of tests occurring later in the week based on specific remote proctoring requirements. Currently, we are targeting Friday, September 18, as the score release date for all test takers, regardless of when they test during the week of August 29.

The October LSAT-Flex will be administered the week starting Saturday, October 3. Most test takers will test on either Saturday, October 3; Sunday, October 4; Tuesday, October 6; or Thursday, October 8, with a small number of tests occurring Wednesday, October 7, based on specific remote proctoring requirements. Currently, we are targeting Friday, October 23, as the score release date for all test takers, regardless of when they test during the week of October 3.

The November LSAT-Flex will be administered the week starting Saturday, November 7. Most test takers will test on either Saturday, November 7; Sunday, November 8; Tuesday, November 10; or Wednesday, November 11, with a small number of tests occurring later in the week based on specific remote proctoring requirements. Currently, we are targeting Tuesday, November 24, as the score release date for all test takers, regardless of when they test during the week of November 7.

We know how important the LSAT is to candidates and schools, and also to fairness and integrity in law school admission, which advances access and equity in legal education. We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we all work through this extraordinary COVID-19 situation together.
