Are you taking the LSAT in Nigeria? Students take the LSAT if they plan to attend law schools in the US and Canada. However, the test administers across the globe. Check out this post about taking the LSAT abroad.
In Nigeria, only one location offers the LSAT: Lagos, the Educational Advising Center. They administer the exam once a year in June. You can find a complete list of test dates and deadlines here. Students should know that testing center locations are subject to change. Refer to LSAC for the most up-to-date information or if you have any questions.
International students should register for the LSAT as soon as possible, as testing center space is limited. You can register online through your LSAC.org account or by calling LSAC at 215.968.1001.
Unlike the US, all international LSAT administrations are nondisclosed. This means that students will only receive access to their LSAT score, score band, percentile rank, and writing. They don’t include the text or answers in the score reports. In Nigeria, the use of the LSAT is a relatively new phenomenon, and therefore there are not many on-the-ground LSAT preparation options there. However, there are still many high-quality LSAT preparation options available to LSAT takers there, including PowerScore’s Live Online LSAT courses, On Demand LSAT courses, self-study using LSAT preparation books like the LSAT Bibles, and online LSAT tutoring.

Alikeju Adejoh says
hello, do you know if Nigerian students can apply for the Lsat Application fee waiver, if yes how?
PowerScore Test Prep says
Hi Alikeju,
Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, LSAC’s website states that only students with US, Canadian, or Australian citizenships — or students who fall under certain specific circumstances in those countries — are eligible for the fee waiver. You can see the full list of requirements for the LSAC Fee Waiver here: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsat-dates-deadlines-score-release-dates/lsat-cas-fees-and-refunds/fee-waivers-lsat-credential.
