What you can bring to the LSAT depends on LSAC rules, your test format, and your approved accommodations. Always check the official rules for your administration before test day.
Core Items to Confirm
- Valid ID that matches LSAC requirements.
- Permitted writing materials if allowed for your format.
- Approved accommodations materials, if applicable.
- Remote testing equipment, if testing remotely.
What Not to Bring
Do not assume common school-testing items are allowed. LSAC rules are specific, and unauthorized items can create serious problems.
Best Practice
Review the official LSAC test-day requirements the week before the test and again the day before.
