April 2024 LSAT Review

April 2024 LSAT Proctoring and Test Centers

20,180 people were registered to take the April 2024 exam. Dave Killoran reports that roughly ~17,000 took the exam over three days.

Overall testing seems to have been positive. LSAC continues to iron out difficulties in their proctoring. Powerscore’s Dave Killoran reported on twitter that there were no systemic issues. I have collected some problem reports below, but know that most people had no issues.

Test Centers remain the best option for problem free testing. Virtually no issues were reported for in person testing.

Three issues, however, were present based on Reddit info:

1. Proctor absences or odd behavior: Some students reported that proctors would show up and then simply leave – notably during breaks. There were fewer such reports than on past exams, but it is still a risk to remote testing. Important: One user reports they were able to complete their exam after proctor absence. They called LSAC support and complete and exit and re-entry procedure. Some reports:
   * Exam Paused for an hour
   * Exam cancelled due to proctor absence
   * Mild proctor mic issue (exam fine)
   * Proctor Absent. Test continued with no security check
   * Proctor Interrupts Exam
   * User’s computer crashes – if your machine is unreliable test in person
2. Sporadic Technical Issues: There were widespread reports of the search function not working well: it would lag with every letter entered. There were also sporadic reports of technical issues, such as lag when crossing out answers, and lag when highlighting. My strong recommendation is not to use the search function on PTs, because you simply can’t count on it during the real exam.

Note that Macos Sonoma is now supported, and no issues were reported. And majority of remote test reports were positive.

April 2024 LSAT Curve

The curve for the January 2024 LSAT can’t be known, as LSAC doesn’t release exams and never discloses current curves. Note also that there are multiple versions of the exam administered each test date, so one version may have a different curve than another.

April 2024 Score Release Date

The April 2024 LSAT’s score release date is Wednesday, May 1st. Based on recent history, score release will be on exactly that date.

Score preview can be purchased between April 20th and April 29th for $75.

The June 2024 registration deadline is open until April 23rd, 2024. The June LSAT is too late for almost all admissions deadlines, but may still make a difference in waitlist movement if you already applied.

If you had an issue during testing LSAC will often provid a retest date prior to score release. You’ll need to contact LSAC to file a complaint and get it approved in order to get a retest.

April 2024 LSAT Confirmed Topics

Based on Reddit’s Discussion, here are some confirmed topics for the April 2024 LSAT. If you had one of these sections, that section was scored.

Generally speaking, people report that Powerscore’s crystal ball was fairly accurate this test.

There is no scheduled release date for any of the questions from these exams. The last scheduled release was LSAT Preptest 94, administered in 2020.
