<p>***************************</p>

<p><strong>LSAT RETAKE POLICY&nbsp; &amp; EXPANDED LSAT SCHEDULE</strong></p>

<p>LSAC announced in May 2017 that&nbsp;<strong>there will no longer be limitations on the number of times a test taker can sit for the LSAT in a two-year period.</strong>&nbsp;Prior to this, you could only take the LSAT three (3) times within a two year period.&nbsp;&nbsp;The change is effective with the September 2017 LSAT administration. However, you should still abide the &ldquo;one and done&rdquo; philosophy when taking the LSAT. The first time should be your best time because you are the most prepared you can be.</p>

<p><strong>Expanded LSAT schedule</strong></p>

<p>The LSAT will be offered six (6) instead of four (4) times in a yearly cycle. This goes into effect starting in June 2018.</p>
