LSAT
Applicants are required to register with the Credential Assembly Service (CAS) through LSAC and have the option to take the LSAT. If an applicant takes the LSAT more than one time the highest score is considered by the admissions committee when making a decision.
The latest test score that will be considered for all entrance is the score from the previous February examination. Scores from tests taken more than four years prior to the current admissions year will not be considered. If a student takes another test in addition to the LSAT, that will be factored into the decision-making process, however, the LSAT will be the number used for financial aid and reported to the ABA.
More information can be obtained from the Law School Admission Council (LSAC).
