Can you take the LSAT online?

Yes, you can take the LSAT online through a remotely proctored LSAT format approved by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). Since 2020, the digital LSAT has been offered in a secure, at-home setting, giving test takers the flexibility to take the LSAT at home without compromising exam integrity. The LSAT online version is identical in content, structure, timing, and scoring to the traditional in-person exam.

The LSAT test format includes multiple-choice sections in logical reasoning, analytical reasoning (commonly known as logic games), and reading comprehension, followed by an unscored writing sample all delivered via a secure testing platform. During the exam, a live proctor monitors you through your webcam to ensure compliance with testing rules.

To take the LSAT online, you must meet LSAC’s technical and environmental requirements: a quiet, private room; a reliable computer with a working webcam, microphone, and stable internet connection; and completion of a system check before test day. LSAC also requires examinees to complete a proctoring simulation to verify their setup.

The remotely proctored LSAT is offered during all standard testing administrations throughout the year. Scores from the LSAT online are treated the same as in-person scores and are accepted by every ABA-accredited law school in the U.S. and Canada. However, once registered for a specific test mode online or in-person you cannot switch formats without rescheduling your entire exam.

If you're considering whether to take the LSAT at home, evaluate your ability to focus in your home environment and ensure your technology meets LSAC standards. Many students find the digital LSAT convenient and less stressful than testing in a center.
