If you're registered for an upcoming international LSAT, please double check your reporting times!

I just went to print my ticket for Saturday and noticed the registration time is now 8:30am, not 2:30pm as was listed when I registered.

I've phoned the LSAC who said that yes, the time was changed from 2:30pm to 8:30am some time in mid-September. I asked if there was some sort of error - was I supposed to be notified, or did I receive an email but just not see it?

The answer is 'no', it just so happens the LSAC doesn't have a policy of notifying registrants if the test-time changes from the advertised time. They just change it and hope you notice when you print your ticket - which they instruct you to print as close to the test-day as possible..!

Brb while I try and find a last minute hotel or figure out how to wake up at 2:30am for a 9am test and not feel like garbage.

    So sorry you have to go through this! And yea, LSAC doesn't notify.

    This happened last year for some testtakers in Europe: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/94162

    I think that the reporting time is usually at 8:30am in Asia but it's usually 2:30pm in Europe.

    Yeah, it's almost always 2:30pm in Europe. This time they offered multiple venues in some cities, one in the AM one in the PM. Looks like they moved them all to 8:30am. Though the lady from the LSAC said that going forward they'd return to 2:30pm for all tests.

    I'm a lot more positive today. It's just the LSAT Gods letting us know nothing else will go wrong.
