LSAT Field Testing

The final test date for the current LSAT Field Testing project is March 22, 2003. Applications for this test date are now closed.

Field testing for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is offered free of charge by the Law School Admission Council in cooperation with ACT, Inc.

An LSAT field test is not a real LSAT, although it is very similar.

Each field test will approximate the content and length of the actual LSAT and be given under conditions almost identical to those of an actual LSAT administration. Each field test will contain primarily existing types of LSAT questions, along with some new types of questions that may appear on future LSATs. The purpose is to see how well the new types perform.

Thus, taking a field test should help prepare you for the LSAT. The March field test is intended for those who plan to take the LSAT any time from June 2003 through October 2004.

Final Field Test Date: March 22, 2003

Location: Approximately 80 sites across the United States and Canada

Participants will receive:

A detailed score report listing the number of questions you answered correctly, your percentile ranking compared to others taking the same field test, brief descriptions of your performance in each of the main LSAT question categories, and brief descriptions of your performance in each of several skill areas within each question category. Field test scores will not be transmitted to law schools.
A refund check for $50.00 U.S. (or Canadian equivalent) after you take the actual LSAT. For the March field test, you must take the actual LSAT with a reportable score any time from June 2003 through October 2004 in order to qualify for this refund.

Your score report will arrive at least one month before the June 2003 LSAT.

Almost all applicants will be able to participate, so if you have applied, please make sure that you do not have other obligations on March 22, 2003. On or about February 19, 2003 applicants should receive an email telling them whether or not they have been selected to participate. If you are selected to participate, you should receive an Admission Ticket via first-class mail by March 7, 2003. For this series of field tests, accommodated testing will not be offered.
