- Check ID requirements.
- Complete required LSAT Writing or Argumentative Writing steps on time.
- Test equipment if remote.
- Sleep and eat normally.
On Test Day
- Arrive or log in early.
- Bring only permitted items.
- Follow proctor instructions carefully.
- Use breaks strategically.
After the Test
