Dates from LSAC’s official 2026–2027 schedule (checked October 2026; dates can change, confirm at lsac.org before registering). The timeline estimate uses a rough planning rule of about 15 quality study hours per scaled point plus a 2-week buffer. Real timelines vary — treat this as a starting plan, not a promise.
