COVID-19 and the Remote LSAT

Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the disruption of the COVID-19 emergency around the globe, as well as the expressed preference of test takers, LSAC has chosen to keep the option to deliver the February 2026 LSAT via the online, remotely proctored LSAT, besides its traditional in-person testing format.


 

June 2026 Remote LSAT Dates and Deadlines

The June LSAT is a great opportunity to take the exam if you’re applying for the 2027 admission cycle. (It won’t work for Fall 2026 admissions in the vast majority of cases–classes start in three months.) It’s early enough in the application process that you can retest if needed. On the other hand, if you get the score you want on the first try, then you’ll have lots of time to get the rest of your application ready without the LSAT weighing on your mind.

Primary June LSAT Dates

The main June remote LSAT administrations are:

  • Wednesday, June 3, 2026
  • Thursday, June 4, 2026
  • Friday, June 5, 2026
  • Saturday, June 6, 2026

June Remote LSAT Assistance Request Deadline

  • Tuesday, April 21, 2026

If you’re among those who may have trouble getting ahold of anything necessary to take the exam–the computer hardware (a laptop or desktop computer with camera and microphone—LSAC uses audio and video feeds to proctor the exam), an internet connection, or a quiet place to take the remote LSAT—you can request assistance from LSAC.

LSAC’s assisted thousands of students with loaner devices, internet access, and appropriate places to test during the remote LSAT. However, because of these specific technical requirements, it’s key to make arrangements early.

Registration Deadlines for June 2026 LSAT

  • Tuesday, April 21, 2026 – Regular registration and accommodation request deadline for those with disabilities or circumstances requiring accommodation needs.

There are limited slots for each testing time. Registering early will help you to get the testing date and time that works best for your schedule.

June LSAT Cancellation Deadlines

If you have to change your LSAT test date or time, go to your online LSAC account. There, you’ll be able to can cancel your registration or even withdraw your registration if necessary.

  • Thursday, April 30, 2026 – Deadline to change your test date or cancel your registration without paying a fee
  • Friday, May 1, 2026 through Tuesday, June 2, 2026 – Late test date change or registration cancellation deadline; $222 fee

LSAT Score Preview Deadlines

LSAC offers an optional Score Preview option. If you’re taking the exam for the first time, this service lets you view your LSAT score. That way, you can decide if you want to keep it on your LSAC transcript (and eventually let law schools see it).

The price for this service varies depending on when you sign up for it:

  • Tuesday, June 2, 2026 – Deadline to purchase LSAC’s Score Preview for $45
  • Saturday, June 13, 2026 through Monday, June 22, 2026 – Deadline to purchase LSAC’s Score Preview for $75

*If you are a first-time test taker with an approved LSAT fee waiver, you can sign up for Score Preview free of charge.

June 2026 LSAT Score Release Date

  • Wednesday, June 24, 2026

Be sure to create an online account with LSAC. This account will let you view your scores and send them to law schools about two weeks after your exam.

LSAT Score Release and the LSAT Writing Sample

To get your LSAT scores, you’ll need to sign up for an LSAC account; you’ll also need to complete LSAT writing. Because of this, LSAC is opening the Writing section option eight days before each test’s administration.

If you’re still focusing on prepping for the multiple-choice portion of the test up until the exam date, you can also take the Writing section after taking the LSAT. Nevertheless, you’ll need to complete it before you receive your scores.


 

Takeaway

Take the time now to decide if the June 2026 LSAT is right for you by:

  • Determining your starting LSAT score based on a practice test;
  • 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 making your decision on which LSAT test date is right for you.

Whenever you decide to take the LSAT, remember the key to getting your best score on the LSAT is making sure you have sufficient time to prepare.
