Can I Cancel my LSAT Registration?
Yes, you can. If you decide not to proceed with the LSAT, you can get a full refund by the test’s registration deadline. After this deadline, you can still request a partial refund of $50 until the test’s partial refund deadline. Simply submit your refund request through your online account’s LSAT Status page. Once processed, you will no longer be registered for the test.
From the Desk of Yocket
First things first, timing is everything. LSAC releases registration windows months in advance, but don’t wait until the last minute. Popular test dates fill up fast, especially in major cities. Aim for early registration to secure your preferred location and date. Be mindful of late fees too—procrastination comes at a cost!
While filling out the registration form, double-check your personal information, especially your name and email address. Typos here can lead to major headaches later. Did you know LSAC offers financial aid for registration fees? Go through their waiver conditions if cost is a concern and apply for it. Do you need testing accommodations for a disability? Request them well in advance with proper documentation.
Finally, approach the registration process with a calm and collected mind. Take your time, double-check your information, and don’t hesitate to reach out to LSAC customer service if you encounter any hurdles.
