  • New LSAT Registration Rule, Explained (Ep. 561)
    Jun 1 2026

    LSAC has updated the LSAT registration process so students now choose their test date and time based on when they signed up. As a result, students who register earlier get priority to preferred testing times. Ben and Nathan advise students that registering when you’re ready is still the highest priority, but those who are ready may find an advantage to signing up sooner.
