Just remember to make sure you ask your school how they view someone taking the lsat multiple times. When I went to the Columbia open house last month, the admissions person clearly said that they would look down on someone taking the lsat multiple times and would require an addendum. So, while its great that lsac is offering us more chances to take the test, I would just check on your schools to see how they view multiple takes.
The combination of July being added and the December test now being mid November has just taken a bit of weight off my shoulders. You could take the test 5 times between now and late November (aka the hot-spot for applications!)
I know it says "North America" but it also specifies "additional US test dates". Does anyone know if July 23rd will be offered in Canada?!
Ugh great news, but definitely adds a new variable to the already complicated decision of taking in June or September haha. Now: take in June, July or September?

Wow! This just might be perfect for me. I'm wondering if it'll be a 12:30 exam like June or the standard 8:30. Anyone have any more info?
I was thinking the same thing! This new date is extremely intriguing since I'm aiming for the June test date.
I was pretty sure June was the only 12:30, but according to this LSAC doc that shows the July 2019 test, it's on a Monday at 12:30 just like June. So I am thinking that yes, this will be a 12:30 test since July 23, 2018 is a Monday. All the other tests at 8:30am are on Saturdays.

Finally LSAT getting w the times. And being humane. (3(/p)
I'm so excited about all of these additional test dates. I'm going to take it in September or November. It's nice that if one gets an undesirable score it's possible to retake it only a couple months later, which wasn't possible before.I think one of the reasons why LSAC is doing this is because the GRE is offered so many times in a year and they're trying to compete.

Up to how many times can we take LSAT? Anyone know?
As many as you want since LSAC got rid of the 3 takes in 2 years rule :)
Yes! This is such great news.

Undisclosed means you wont be able to look at the test after you take it, it wont be published. So, if you didnt do as well as you would have liked you wont know why.
@lucykelly459 said:
how about the test centers? will all the test centers be available for July test date? i know some test centers are open on some dates and not on others. any info on this?
Don't think there's any info yet. I just updated the registration page on 7Sage (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-dates-and-registration-deadlines-for-united-states-and-canada/) with everything that's available, but the July info is not yet up. You may want to contact LSAC to find out about your question.

Leaving out Asia. America First on the LSAT :cry:
Yeah that sucks for you, dude :neutral:
But if you're not ready for June, you can delay for one month. The problem is that you won't have your June scores in time or you won't have time to prepare accordingly? I just see this as an advantage for our June test takers to delay for one month instead of taking the June test.

@aaronkeegan92975 Yeah! I'm thinking I'll keep shooting for June for now, but if I don't feel quite ready as it approaches I'm glad to have the July option

More LSATs, more applicants, higher scores, more revenue for LSAC. A positive change but worried about the implications on already saturated legal market and hoping another recession doesnt happen in 2021
Confirmed LSAC Twitter: July 23, 2018 North America.

I also saw somewhere there is a January and March date in 2019. That's an abundance of future tests... in the near future.
Yea, here is the list of future dates: https://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source/jd-docs/testdateweb.pdf
2018–2019 LSAT DATES
Monday, June 11, 2018
Monday, July 23, 2018 (North America only) ADDED
Saturday, September 8, 2018
Saturday, November 17, 2018
Saturday, January 26, 2019
Saturday, March 30, 2019
Monday, June 3, 2019
This July 23rd test isn't listed on the LSAC page you linked...
Does anyone know if the June results will be available before the July test and how it would work if you are satisfied with your June test score and want a refund for July?

Thanks, @estoutenburg25267! That doesn't seem so bad.

I was thinking the same thing! This new date is extremely intriguing since I'm aiming for the June test date.
Also aiming for June. Especially since I have not studied as much as I should have over December/January, opting for the July 23rd date instead of June 11th sort of "resets the clock." That's an extra 6 weeks!
However, whether it is at 8:30am ot 12:30am is an important consideration. I'm going to assume it is a 12:30 one, which doesn't distinguish it much from June (aside from that extra 6 weeks...)
But then! There's the consideration of studying during the summer - I know myself well enough to know that the distractions will pile on as of mid-June, which is part of the appeal to the June take anyway...
DECISIONS!
What, no studying on the beach with a drink in hand? Are you sure you're meant to be a lawyer? Hahaha
And then, the idea of spending the final stretch of my studying on the beach further sold me on July.
