Thinking About Retaking the LSAT?
We’re here to help you get the information and resources you need to decide if retaking the LSAT is the right next step.
The LSAT tests skills needed for success during the first year of law school. So, if you’ve taken the LSAT once, or even more than once, and don’t believe your score accurately reflects your skills, you may be considering whether to retest. Retaking the LSAT isn’t for everyone, but some people choose to retest because of a variety of factors. Here are some of the considerations we hear from test takers:
“My LSAT score doesn’t reflect my abilities.”
We encourage you to explore the breadth of test prep, including free resources and practice tests, to get more ready for test day. Learn more about our authentic LSAT practice tests and prep materials in LawHub.
“My test day experience wasn’t what I expected.”
Test day is not a good day for surprises! It’s easy to get thrown by a situation that doesn’t align with your expectations. If you believe your performance will improve now that you know what to expect, here’s some more info about preparing for the LSAT.
“I had stress and hurdles to overcome on test day.”
Personal situations, illness, or challenging logistics on test day can all contribute to anxiety — and added stress doesn’t generally lead to positive testing outcomes. Plan ahead and learn more about taking the LSAT.

Many candidates choose to apply to law school after taking the LSAT just one time. You may find LSAC’s UGPA/LSAT Search Tool useful as you narrow down potential schools (opens in new browser window). This tool will give you some information about UGPA and LSAT ranges of admitted students, but law schools consider additional factors to assess the whole candidate. We encourage you to contact the law schools in which you’re interested to best understand the factors each school considers.
