LSAT Hide Alternative Choice For Free

Will law schools know I was granted LSAT accommodations? LSAC does not qualify the scores they report to law schools, so the schools to which you are applying will not know that you received LSAT accommodations, including extended time.

This year, you can get into a top law school without taking the LSAT. Some of the nation's law schoolsincluding at Harvard University and Georgetown Universityare letting applicants take the Graduate Record Examination instead of the Law School Admission Test.

Many LSAT takers are unaware of this relatively new option, but you can withdraw your registration for the LSAT until the midnight immediately before the exam.Withdrawals are not reported to schools, and they will never know you were even registered for that exam, so there is no need to address them.

Law schools do not average the scores for admission, but we always look at performance if you've taken the test more than once. Ideally, it would be best if every applicant could secure their ideal LSAT score on the first attempt, but that is often not the case. Law schools will report the highest LSAT score.

The proportion of those who received an approved accommodation request and who then went on to take an accommodated LSAT (i.e., the accommodated test takers) ranged between 65% and 77% across the study years.

The downside of retaking is largely gone as well! Even if you do worse on a retake, law schools still have the ability and the incentive just to consider your higher score. That said, law schools generally don't view a 1 or 2 point score bump as a significant improvement.

A score over 160 should place you in a good position for admission in most of the law schools in the country. Scoring below 140 will deem you unfit for most law schools. Your GPA also plays a huge part in your admissions process. If you have a lower GPA, aim for a high LSAT score.
