On July 31, LSAC will introduce a brand new LSAT Writing assessment, moving from the traditional “decision prompt” construction, to a far-more involved—and 15-minute longer—design that includes a real-world issue accompanied by multiple, outside perspectives on it, all up for debate. Candidates will then craft an essay that not only tackles the issue at hand, but also assesses at least one of the accompanying viewpoints. In Episode 149, Dave and Jon break down every detail!

Veronica R says
If I already have a writing sample on file with LSAC and take the new test would I have to write a new sample or is it good on file already and they are still not scored correct ?
Dave Killoran says
You’d be fine with your “old” one, and no Writing is scored as of yet 🙂
