Your Journey to Law School Resources to Help You Prepare and Succeed [LSAC.org](LSAC.org) Applying to law school requires planning. LSAC is here to guide you every step of the way as you take the LSAT®, prepare, apply, and choose a law school. Taking the LSAT A Test You Can Trust The LSAT is the only test accepted by every law school in the U.S. and Canada. The reason is clear: The LSAT is the only test specifically designed to assess the skills needed for success in law school and beyond—namely, logical reasoning, critical reading, and analytical reasoning skills. Other tests created for different purposes measure different skills. Research consistently shows that the LSAT is the single best predictor of law school success —even better than undergraduate GPA. When you take the LSAT, you know you’re getting an accurate, unbiased assessment of your ability to succeed in law school. Law schools have a long history of considering LSAT scores as part of their overall admission decision-making processes. In 2021, more than 98% of incoming law students used the LSATas part of their application. Candidates who are serious about law school take the LSAT. The LSAT score preview option allows first-time test takers to see their score before deciding whether to keep it and have it reported to law schools. And LSAC is committed to access and equity for all test takers, providing a wide range of testing accommodations for candidates with disabilities, fee waivers for test takers who qualify, and loaner devices, internet access, and a quiet place to test for anyone requiring such assistance in order to test.
