LSAT scores are just one piece of information considered by Indiana CLEO. In order to receive your scores in time, we recommend applicants take the LSAT no later than December of the year before the student will begin law classes. No. LSAT scores and grades are considered, but there is no specific requirement. LSAT scores and grade point averages sufficient to warrant admission to an Indiana law school are acceptable.

It is extremely important to prepare the best you can for your first attempt at the LSAT because substantial increases in scores are rare. However, the admissions committee will review all LSAT scores.**

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a half-day standardized test that is required for admission to most United States and Canadian law schools. You can obtain detailed information about the LSAT from the Law School Admission Council at www.lsac.org or you can call them at 215-968-1001. The website will give you the latest information on the cost, dates and locations of the LSAT.

You should spend 4-6 months taking practice tests and improving your reading and reasoning skills. LSDAS makes practice tests available. You can also find commercial preparation books in book stores and public libraries. An Internet search for “LSAT preparation” will retrieve commercial courses as well.

The LSAT is given four times each year, in June, October, December, and February. You can visit the website at www.lsac.org or contact the LSAC at 215-968-1001 for more information, including available test sites.

The LSAT is usually offered four times per year in June, October, December and February. For specific dates/locations, check the LSAT registration book in the UCS library or you may visit the Law School Admission Council website. Once you've decided on your test date, register as soon as possible for the test site of your choice. Test sites fill up very quickly- you don't want to be locked out of your first choice site.

You should plan to take the test only once. Prepare completely and do your best to achieve a good score. While it is possible to retake the LSAT if you feel your score does not represent your abilities and that you can improve it, many schools will average scores from multiple tests rather than taking the highest score.

The LSAT is offered 4 times each year: February, June, October and December. The specific dates vary each year but the test is always on a Saturday (religious exceptions are made for people who observe the Sabbath on Saturdays). For more information on the LSAT, click here.

Don't study, practice. The LSAT does not test any substantive knowledge (unlike the MCAT, for example). The test focuses exclusively on reading comprehension and logical reasoning skills, and the whole trick is to learn to answer the questions fast enough. So practice! Buy a bunch of old tests, use a stopwatch and just practice over and over again. Your score will improve. For more about the LSAT, including the debate over whether to take a prep class, click here.

Applicants may register for the LSAT and LSDAS as well as obtain forms online at the Law School Admission Council's Website: http://www.lsac.org/. LSAT and LSDAS registration information may also be picked up at the reception desk, Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis, 530 West New York Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202-3225.
