Scheduling Is Now Open for the April LSAT

Test Taker Pro-Tips: The Room Scan
While preparing for your test, check out the Getting Ready for Your LSAT Exam page on our website for instructions on checking your equipment, preparing your exam space, and more.
As you know from your candidate agreement and for security purposes, you will be directed to complete a room scan during the check-in process. A major cause of sessions being flagged for review is an improper room scan before the test. Make sure you slowly (slower than you would think) do a complete 360-degree scan of your entire testing environment, including the top and underneath of your work surface, and be sure that there are no prohibited items in your work area. If you鈥檙e uncertain of which items are prohibited, review Sections 14 to 16 of your Candidate Agreement.
Also, make sure that you鈥檙e working on a hard surface such as a table or desk with a chair to test and that the room you鈥檙e using does not have floor to ceiling windows. Pro tip: Once you have completed your room scan, do not move to another location, or let someone else into the room, during your testing session 鈥� yes, people have done that, and it鈥檚 a guaranteed red flag resulting in a cancellation.
And remember that the use of scratch paper is permitted for the LSAT Multiple Choice portion, but not for LSAT Writing. A digital notetaking section is available within the LSAT Writing module to type notes as you write your essay.
