If you're a current or graduated college student with plans to attend law school, it's important to know the 2025-2026 LSAT test dates and registration deadlines. LSAT test dates don't follow any specific pattern. Scores are typically released up to one month after the exam date.
Since they're not offered every month, registering for the LSAT test date that works best for you in advance is essential to performing well. The 2025-2026 LSAT test dates and registration deadlines are the following:

LSAT registration requires you to sign up approximately 6 weeks before the LSAT test date. You can register online with your LSAC.org account or over the phone at (215) 968-1001 or (800) 336-3982. LSAC recommends that you register online, but if you choose to register by phone, keep in mind that the LSAC is busiest on Mondays, so you can save some time by calling later in the week. Once you pick your test date, you'll have to pay a $248 registration fee.
Most schools require their applicants to take the LSAT by December for future fall admission. However, it's best to schedule your first exam earlier in case you need to increase your score.
There are numerous dates available to take the LSAT. Try to avoid January LSAT registration for your first test, as more than half of students taking the January test will be striving to up their score.
Remember to consider your application deadlines when you schedule your LSAT, too. If you're applying for admission in fall 2026, aim to schedule your LSAT test dates between June and October 2025. You could potentially wait until February to take your tests, but some of the spots may already be filled at the schools of your choice. Plus, as we mentioned above, these tests tend to fill up fast with second-timers, so you'll have to reserve your spot early on anyway.
Prep early to prep smart. The Princeton Review offers four different highly effective LSAT test prep packages designed to fill you with the skills and confidence necessary to take on your much-anticipated LSAT. These include:
