Students Must Leave DC for LSAT

This GW article is old news, but it seems to happen every year. So register early.

You can always change your test date -- even after the test. If you're signed up for the February 7, 2009 LSAT, for example, you can switch to the June exam as late as February 9, as long as you do it online and pay LSAC $33.00.

Although this article is talking about the September LSAT, which attracts the most test takers, it still makes sense to register early if you want to take the test in DC.

Also, the article mentions that the LSAT is "four hours." That's true, somewhat. The test itself is only 3 hours and 45 minutes. But when you take the actual test, set aside 7 hours. With so many people taking the test in DC, it usually takes 2 hours or so to check everyone in at the testing center.

Some students forced to leave D.C. for LSAT:

"Many law-school hopefuls in Washington are leaving the District Saturday to take the Law School Admission Test because all test centers in D.C. were filled nearly three months before the registration deadline. ..."
