LSAT Accommodations Deadlines (2025-2026): How to Plan Ahead

LSAC does not accept the most important rule is clear: Your entire application, including the Qualified Professional Statement and addendums, must be submitted to LSAC by the registration deadline for your chosen test date. LSAC does not accept late documentation.

For Those Who Plan Ahead

If you start early, you give yourself real advantages:

• Find a neuropsychologist for testing accommodations that you like (not simply the only one who has time).

• Schedule your neuropsychological evaluation without pressure.

• Dig up hard-to-find transcripts, test scores and medical records.

• Your neuropsychologist can prepare a thoughtful statement or to do followup testing.

• Time to respond if LSAC requests clarification or additional records.

A good rule of thumb is to begin the process 8 to 10 weeks before your registration deadline. That leaves space for both testing and report preparation.

For Those Facing the Deadline

If you wait until the last weeks before a deadline, the reality changes:

• Many neuropsychologists are fully booked.

• Rush fees are common, often $500 to $1,000 added to the evaluation cost.

• There's more stress digging up records.

• In some cases, evaluators simply cannot accept last-minute requests.

  
  

I typically reserve a small block of time for 1 to 2 last-minute cases each LSAT cycle, but those spots fill quickly. Waiting until the deadline means relying on luck and availability.

Final Steps

• Remember: You are responsible for submitting all documentation to LSAC. Clinicians do not submit on your behalf.

• Plan backward from your registration deadline to make sure your Qualified Professional Form is completed and in your hands on time.

• Keep in mind that I also provide specialized FAA evaluations, which require careful preparation and documentation much like LSAT accommodations.

  
  

Bottom Line

Planning ahead offers peace of mind, flexibility, and better outcomes. Waiting until the deadline puts you in a high-stress, high-cost situation with fewer options.
