LSAT test day checklist
Test day needs two things handled: logistics and nerves. Logistics means a valid photo ID, your test center address or remote check-in link, an approved writing sample on file, and a plan for tech issues. Nerves means nothing new: sleep, eat, and arrive early. This checklist covers the week before, the night before, and the morning of.
Useful before the day: the test date planner for picking your administration and the hours calculator for budgeting prep time.
Everything to handle before test day, and everything to bring. Check items off as you go; your progress saves in this browser. Print it with the button below.
How to use this checklist
- Work it in order. The week-before items first, then the night before, then the morning of. Most items take under five minutes.
- Check items off as you finish them. Your progress saves in this browser, so you can close the page and come back.
- Print a paper backup. Phones die and browsers forget. The print button above gives you a paper copy.
- Do not let items slide to test day. Anything unfinished the night before becomes a test-day distraction. Handle it the same day you see it.
