LSAT or GRE

Law schools require you to submit a standardized test score. The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is accepted by all law schools.

The 2024-2025 LSAT Testing Cycle

  • November 2024
  • January 2025
  • February 2025
  • April 2025
  • June 2025

*Some law schools will also accept the GRE or GMAT.


Consider the following when selecting which test to take:

  • All law schools accept the LSAT.
  • Not all law schools accept the GRE. Confirm on each law school’s website.
  • A select few law schools accept the GMAT.
  • If you plan to attempt a dual degree, the GRE might satisfy the entrance requirements for the law school and the other program you plan to apply to.
  • If you are still considering law school or other graduate programs, the GRE might be a better fit.
  • Law schools automatically see any LSAT attempt when you apply and will use that score even if you submit a GRE score.
