After LSAC made the rather small announcement earlier this year about transitioning the LSAT to a digital exam beginning in July 2019, questions have swirled around the changes: which test centers will have the digital LSAT, will all the LSATs be on tablets, can you choose if you want to take the LSAT on a tablet or on paper…etc. Students have also raised concerns about test day experiences, including if there will be scratch paper, screen readers, and more timing accommodations. To add to the excitement (or confusion), LSAC has also confirmed that the unscored writing sample will now be a take-home portion of the test.
We’ve already broken down many of these questions, but there’s clearly much more to unpack. Although the FAQ section of the LSAC website is a great places to start, Blueprint decided to give students a chance to ask their questions and voice their anxieties in-person. We’re holding free LSAT seminars across the country to go over all the changes. Led by Blueprint LSAT instructors, these events are your chances to get answers and learn the best ways to prep for the digital exam.
Below are seminars coming up this month. Register for them (and our other upcoming events) here.
– New York – December 15, 2018 – Blueprint’s Manhattan Classroom
– Los Angeles (Westwood) – December 19, 2018 – Blueprint’s Westwood Classroom
