LSAT Score Preview Cost and How It Works

Quick answer: LSAT Score Preview is an add-on that lets you see your score and then decide whether to keep or cancel it. For the 2026-27 cycle it costs $46 if you buy before testing starts, or $87 during the later window after testing. You get six calendar days after scores come out to decide. You do not see your score any earlier than others.

How LSAT Score Preview Works

Buy Score Preview through your LSAC account before the deadline for your test.
Get your score on the normal release day.
Decide within six calendar days. If you do nothing, your score stays and goes to schools.

Fees and windows can change, so check LSAC’s registration page and your test’s page. Your score also needs an approved writing sample on file and no holds on your account.

Does a Canceled Score Count?

Yes. LSAC counts canceled scores toward your limits, including those canceled with Score Preview. You can take the LSAT 5 times in the current reportable score period and 7 times in your life. See how many times you can take the LSAT.

Is Score Preview Worth It?

It can make sense if: you are testing for the first time, you feel unsure, and a low score would hurt your plans.
It may not if: your practice scores are steady, since a canceled score still uses up an attempt.

Decide your floor before test day. Use your practice tests in the LSAT score predictor and a target from what LSAT score do I need.

Without Score Preview

You can still cancel, but you must do it within six calendar days of your test date, before you see your score.
