LSAC UPDATES-Feb. 2026

LSAT Delivery Changes Starting August 2026

Bottom line: The LSAT is not changing in content or format—but where most persons take it is changing.

1. Most students will take the LSAT in person at a testing center

Starting with the August 2026 LSAT, LSAC will move to in-center testing for almost all test takers in the U.S. and internationally. Remote testing will be limited to students who receive approved medical accommodations or who qualify under extreme hardship exceptions.LSAC is making this change to:

Improve test security and integrity
Reduce technical and proctoring problems that can disrupt test day

Remote testing was expanded during the pandemic, but going forward, in-person testing will be the standard.LSAC will publish details about medical and hardship exceptions in the coming months, before registration opens for the 2026–2027 testing cycle (mid-May).

2. A new testing interface (UI) will launch in LawHub

Also starting with the August 2026 LSAT, LSAC will introduce a new test delivery platform in LawHub.

The test content and structure stay the same
The on-screen interface will look slightly different

To help students prepare:

Practice tests in the new interface will be available in LawHub before August
Current practice tests in the existing interface will remain available for students taking the April or June LSAT
An interactive demo of the new interface is expected by late March, with full practice test availability in the new UI by May

What students should do

If you plan to take the LSAT August 2026 or later, expect to test in person at a testing center
Watch for LSAC guidance on accommodations and hardship exceptions
Use LawHub practice tests in the new interface once they become available to avoid surprises on test day
