Test Day

168 days after Day 1's orientation. Everything that needed doing has been done — today is execution, not preparation.

On the Day

  • Arrive at Prometric with real buffer time, ID in hand.
  • Use the Day 107 break routine during the official 10-minute break.
  • Trust the two-pass pacing system and the method sheets — nothing new gets decided today.
  • If Prometric only offers April 8 or 9 rather than the 10th, the taper days shift earlier accordingly — the plan absorbs that automatically since Phase 6 was built with buffer.

After the Test

Scores release April 28, 2027. Until then: nothing more to do on LSAT prep specifically. If a retake becomes relevant after seeing the score, June 2027 registration closes April 29 — one day after scores post — and August 2027 remains a further backup if needed.

What Comes Next

Applications open in the rolling Sept-Nov 2027 window for Fall 2028 entry. Start assembling CAS materials, recommenders, and personal statements over the summer of 2027 so the application goes out early in the cycle — exactly when merit money at GW, American WCL, and Scalia Law is most available, per Day 17 and Day 71.
