Plan around the deadlines, not just the test
The test date is only one of three clocks running on every administration. You must register before the registration deadline, then schedule your seat and complete the writing sample before they close — and your score has to land before your law school application deadline. The Retake Calculator takes your own application cutoff and shows exactly which upcoming LSATs still work, factoring in LSAC's three-to-four-week score-release lag.
A note on the dates
All test, registration, scheduling, writing and score-release dates come from the official LSAC administration calendar (snapshot 2026-10-30, source: LSAC — Upcoming LSAT Dates (official calendar)). LSAC can shift dates — always confirm on the official LSAC calendar before acting. This page is a planning aid, not an official schedule.
