Hello!

I currently live in China and will be retaking the October 4th LSAT in Hong Kong. Previously, I took the exam in the states and I am wondering if there are any differences in the exam when not taken in the states? Are the testing procedures the same? Are there any differences between taking the exam on a Sunday rather than a Saturday?
And this might seem like an odd question, because English fluency is assumed, but the exam will be in English, correct?

Thanks!

Hi Elavoy,

Thanks for the question. There are some differences when taking the LSAT abroad, but thankfully a different language isn't one of them! It will be in English :-D

The test procedures are also the same, and the big difference is that you will take a different LSAT than the US test takers. This is done due to the significant time difference between the US and most other countries; if you took the same test, there would the potential to cheat and pass information. So, for the tests given abroad, they use a different LSAT, which makes getting info after the test more challenging. You'll have different games, different RC passages, etc, so your ability to gauge difficulty by going online and reading the comments of others is hindered.

Otherwise, it will be an LSAT like any other. Good luck!
