Top 5 FAQ - #3: How much does the LSAT cost and how long are the scores valid for?
This is a question we definitely get asked a lot!
The LSAT fee is $222, which can be a lot of money to spend on an exam, especially if you end up taking it more than once. Unfortunately, depending on what additional options you select, there are additional fees, such as score preview. That is why it is so optimal to prepare and, ideally, attempt the LSAT once.
However, some applicants may qualify for an LSAT fee waiver from the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), the makers of the LSAT. Fee waivers are only available for those who cannot afford to pay for the LSAT. According to LSAC, you must demonstrate extreme need to qualify for the fee waiver and meet several other requirements. Learn more and apply for an LSAT fee waiver via your LSAC account. Your LSAT score is valid for up to five years after your test date. So if you take the LSAT August 7, 2024 your score will be removed from LSAC on August 7, 2029.
