Most notably, the multiple-choice portion of the LSAT will move to primarily in-person testing, with remote testing available only in limited circumstances such as approved accommodations or extreme distance from a testing center.<\/p>\n<p>The content and structure of the LSAT itself are not changing, and only the testing experience and delivery platform are being updated. To get you set up, we\u2019ve compiled all the important dates you need to know here\u2014along with our best advice on getting the most out of your August 2026 remote LSAT prep.<\/p>\n<h2>The August LSAT<\/h2>\n<h3>August LSAT Test Dates<\/h3>\n<p>The remote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lsac.org\/lsat\/lsat-dates-deadlines\/august-lsat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 2026 LSAT<\/a> exam administration will be held on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wednesday, August 5, 2026<\/li>\n<li>Thursday, August 6, 2026<\/li>\n<li>Friday, August 7, 2026<\/li>\n<li>Saturday, August 8, 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>August LSAT Score Release<\/h3>\n<p>August LSAT scores will be available in your LSAC account as of <strong>Wednesday, August 26, 2026<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Before you receive your scores for the August LSAT, you&#8217;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&#8217;ll have to be done before you can get your scores.<\/p>\n<p>There will be a &#8220;score preview&#8221; option for the August test, which costs $46 by Tuesday, August 4, 2026 and $87 from Saturday, August 15, 2026 through Monday, August 24, 2026. (If you have a fee waiver, that will also apply to this option, which you&#8217;ll get automatically.) You won&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<h3>Registration (and Auto-Registration)<\/h3>\n<p>The registration deadline for the August remote LSAT is <strong>Thursday, June 25, 2026<\/strong>. This is also the deadline for accommodation and assistance requests.<\/p>\n<h3>Fees<\/h3>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t already registered for the test, <strong>plan to spend $253 on registration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Upcoming LSAT Test Dates<\/h2>\n<p>After August, you will have three more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lsac.org\/LSATdates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chances to take the LSAT this year<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lsac.org\/lsat\/lsat-dates-deadlines\/september-lsat\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">September 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lsac.org\/lsat\/lsat-dates-deadlines\/october-lsat\">October 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lsac.org\/lsat\/lsat-dates-deadlines\/november-lsat\">November 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Takeaway<\/h2>\n<p>Take the time now to decide which test date is right for you by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Determining your starting LSAT score;<\/li>\n<li>Setting your goal score based on your target law schools; and<\/li>\n<li>Establishing how much time you need, and how much time you actually have, to dedicate to LSAT prep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you go through these steps, you\u2019ll feel confident deciding which LSAT test date is right for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LSAC announced a new August LSAT test date in 2020.
