Hi 7Sagers,

The LSAC informed us that the testing interface for the LSAT will undergo changes for the 2023-2024 cycle, beginning with the August 2023 test. As part of enhanced security measures, the use of keyboard commands like CTRL-F will no longer be possible. However, an alternative function, known as "find text", developed by the LawHub team, will offer similar features in a more secure manner. See the image below.

The "find text" function will be visible at the top center of every page, and it allows test takers to search for terms, with results being highlighted with orange tags or made identifiable for visually impaired users via a screen reader (see the image below). To reset the field, users just need to erase the searched term. It is important to note that this function cannot be dismissed and will be present on all LSAT pages.

For test takers to practice, the "find text" function will be implemented on all LawHub practice tests starting from August 1. Guidance on its use will be available in the "Need help?" section on LawHub. Any queries can be directed to licensingsupport@LSAC.org.

    Important for everyone:

    I've noticed that the tool does not work unless you input 3 or more characters.

    E.g., if you're trying to find the word "in" you'll need to enter a space after for the word for the tool to kick in (i.e, "in "). Similarly, if you needed to find a one letter word (for whatever reason), you need to enter a space before AND after for the tool to kick in (i.e., " a ").

    This is just something I noticed while experimenting. Probably better to know this now, rather than be confused on test day.
