August LSAT: What You Need to Know

august lsat

The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) has recently announced that they will continue with remote LSAT administrations, given the expressed preference of the majority of test takers, alongside LSAT administrations at a test center. To get you set up, we’ve compiled all the important dates you need to know here—along with our best advice on getting the most out of your April 2025 remote LSAT prep.

The August LSAT

August LSAT Test Dates

The remote August 2025 LSAT exam administration will be held on:

  • Wednesday, August 6, 2025
  • Thursday, August 7, 2025
  • Friday, August 8, 2025
  • Saturday, August 9, 2025

August LSAT Score Release

August LSAT scores will be available in your LSAC account as of Wednesday, August 27, 2025.

Before you receive your scores for the August LSAT, you’ll need to have a completed LSAT Writing sample. Because of this, LSAT opened the Writing section eight days before the test administration. You can complete this at your convenience, but it’ll have to be done before you can get your scores.

There will be a “score preview” option for the August test, which costs $45 by Tuesday, August 5, 2025 and $85 from Saturday, August 16, 2025 through Monday, August 25, 2025. (If you have a fee waiver, that will also apply to this option, which you’ll get automatically.) You won’t get your scores any earlier, but you will have six days after their release to decide if you want to keep or cancel them. If you do nothing, your scores will be kept and sent to schools.

Registration (and Auto-Registration)

The registration deadline for the August remote LSAT is Thursday, June 26, 2025. This is also the deadline for accommodation and assistance requests.

Fees

The remote LSAT costs the same amount that the in-person LSAT did, so don’t worry about additional fees. If you haven’t already registered for the test, plan to spend $248 on registration.

Upcoming LSAT Test Dates

After August, you will have three more chances to take the LSAT this year:

Takeaway

Take the time now to decide which test date is right for you by:

  • Determining your starting LSAT score;
  • Setting your goal score based on your target law schools; and
  • Establishing how much time you need, and how much time you actually have, to dedicate to LSAT prep.

Once you go through these steps, you’ll feel confident deciding which LSAT test date is right for you!
