LSAC Clarifies Who Will Still Qualify for Remote LSAT Testing Starting August 2026
As you probably already know starting with the August 2026 LSAT, most test takers will be expected to take the exam in person at Prometric testing centers.
According to LSAC, remote testing will still be available, but only for 2 types of test takers:
- Those who have medically justified accommodations that cannot be provided at a test center
- Candidates who live more than 180 miles (or over 3 hours away) from a testing center
Worth mentioning that per LSAC first group "will be allowed to test remotely" while second group "can request an exception to test remotely".
I wouldn't be surprised if living more that 180 miles or over 3 hours away wouldn't automatically qualify you for remote testing in all cases.
Taking into account how many test centers prometric has around the world I wouldn't be surprised if even most international test takers will take the test in person, yet they will probably constitute majority of this who fall within the exception
