Some 2017/2018 early data and 2018/2019 new LSAT test dates.

June 2017 LSAT takers are up by 19.8% or 4,555 takers for a total of 27,606 LSATs administered. This is the biggest increase in 8 years.

Numbers are also up for attendance at the Washington, D.C. LSAC forum with a total of 853 attendants, up 23.4% from last year's forum. Additionally, the rate of attendance from registrants increased from last year -- a greater percentage that registered showed up.

We also have the dates for the LSAT for 2018-2019, when the increased number of LSAT administrations per year will go into effect:

  • Monday, June 11, 2018 at 12:30 PM
  • Saturday, September 8, 2018 at 8:30 AM (Wednesday, September 5 for Saturday Sabbath observers)
