While this update to the exam may seem insignificant compared to the [retirement of Logic Games](https://www.lsac.org/blog/what-to-expect-starting-with-august-2024-lsat) as part of the [2024-2025 LSAT testing year](https://www.lsac.org/LSATdates#new-TY) that starts in August, this new writing sample format could lead to a scored writing section as soon as the 2025-2026 LSAT testing year!

The [LSAC official Lawhub online practice resource](http://lawhub.lsac.org) has released composite preptests utilizing the new test format that will be live as of the August 2024 administration after Logic Games are retired following the June 2024 LSAT administration. Test takers logging into the free (or paid) interface are now greeted with the following options: [LSAT Prep](https://www.myguruedge.com/our-thinking/lsat-and-the-law-school-admissions-process/topic/lsat-prep) [LSAT](https://www.myguruedge.com/our-thinking/lsat-and-the-law-school-admissions-process/topic/lsat) [Logic Games](https://www.myguruedge.com/our-thinking/lsat-and-the-law-school-admissions-process/topic/logic-games) [lsat logic games](https://www.myguruedge.com/our-thinking/lsat-and-the-law-school-admissions-process/topic/lsat-logic-games) As a result of a [lawsuit filed against the LSAT](https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/10/us/lsat-blind-people-trnd/index.html) in 2019, the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) agreed to retire the Logic Games section of the exam within five years. Taking full advantage of that timeframe, last October, [LSAC announced that the section would be removed from the exam](https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsat-changes-coming-august-2024) following the June 2024 administration of the test. Now, law school applicants targeting round 1 applications in 2024 are confronted with a unique option - take the exam with Logic Games or without.

In addition to requesting your academic transcript (not to mention earning that transcript in the first place), obtaining recommendation letters, and writing your personal statement, it is also necessary to prepare for the LSAT. In the eyes of most admissions officers, your performance on the LSAT serves as a strong indicator of your future performance as a student of the law. Learning how to get a high LSAT score therefore increases not only your likelihood of being accepted, but also of receiving a generous scholarship. With this in mind, the question of how much to invest in LSAT test prep deserves serious consideration. Ultimately you might be wondering, should you hire an LSAT tutor?

This second consecutive LSAT cancellation has prompted the creation of an alternative LSAT-Flex exam that will be available only to LSAT candidates who had previously registered for either of the now-cancelled March or April exams. All April registrants will be automatically registered for the [LSAT-Flex](https://www.lsac.org/update-coronavirus-and-lsat/lsat-flex), unless they proactively choose a different LSAT date by April 15. Currently, the next three in-person LSAT exam administrations are scheduled for June 8, July 13, and August 29.

However, it’s beginning to be forced to change with the times in the face of some significant challenges. The number of [LSATs administered annually](https://www.lsac.org/lsacresources/data/lsac-eoy) has declined by more than a third this decade from 170,000+ at the end of the 2009-10 testing year to fewer than 110,000 during the 2016-17 testing year. Then came the news that, beginning with applications submitted in the fall of 2017, [Harvard Law will accept the GRE](https://today.law.harvard.edu/gre/) as an acceptable alternative to the LSAT for incoming applicants. ### Follow the blog
