By Susan L. KrinskyUpdate: Since this blog post was originally published on May 19, we further updated the user interface on May 28 so that any items flagged by the user are visible on the question bar. This feature is now live in the version of all PrepTests for August 2026 and beyond. We will release the final user interface for the 2026-27 testing cycle — which will include fully functional highlighting across stimuli, question stems, and answer choices — in June.As announced in February, we are moving to a new test delivery platform for the LSAT, beginning with the August 2026 test. This new platform will provide important new test security and test administration capabilities, but it will also result in certain User Interface (UI) changes for test takers. The content of the LSAT is not changing – only the user interface.To help students prepare, LSAC launched an interactive preview of the new UI in LawHub in March. We received valuable feedback and are incorporating many suggested improvements as we finalize the interface. While some aspects of the platform cannot be changed, we are carefully reviewing all feedback.Starting today, all Official LSAT PrepTests in the LawHub library — approximately 60 tests — are available in an updated version of the new UI. A final version of the interface, incorporated into the demo and the practice tests, will be released in June. We’ve summarized the changes since March and the additional changes we plan to deliver in June in a short video. Changes Based on User FeedbackSeveral improvements have already been made since the March demo:A “Reset Response” button has been added to each question set, enabling users to clear answer selections and/or answer eliminations with one click.

Update: Since this blog post was originally published on May 19, we further updated the user interface on May 28 so that any items flagged by the user are visible on the question bar. This feature is now live in the version of all PrepTests for August 2026 and beyond. We will release the final user interface for the 2026-27 testing cycle — which will include fully functional highlighting across stimuli, question stems, and answer choices — in June.

As announced in February, we are moving to a new test delivery platform for the LSAT, beginning with the August 2026 test. This new platform will provide important new test security and test administration capabilities, but it will also result in certain User Interface (UI) changes for test takers.

To help students prepare, LSAC launched an interactive preview of the new UI in LawHub in March.

Changes Based on User Feedback

Several improvements have already been made since the March demo:

  • A “Reset Response” button has been added to each question set, enabling users to clear answer selections and/or answer eliminations with one click. We are fixing a known issue affecting the Reset Response feature in certain scenarios and expect it to be fully resolved in the June release.
  • The question bar has been redesigned to display all questions in a section rather than only 10 at a time.
  • The question bar will also have separators to show the question numbers associated with each of the Reading Comprehension passages.
  • All intended timer features have now been added. 
Additional Features Coming in June

We also received feedback about the highlighting and underlining tools in the March demo, as well as features in the question bar.

After reviewing those concerns, we decided to redesign these features to improve usability. The June release will include:

  • Fully functional highlighting and underlining across the stimulus, question stem, and answer choices.
  • Flagged items will be visible in the question bar for easy reference and navigation. 
Features That Cannot Be Changed

There are some things in the new UI that we can’t change. We are not able to provide so-called “radio-button” functionality for selecting and eliminating answers with a single click. Due to the underlying structure of the new test driver platform, moving from answer selection to answer elimination will require an extra click. 

Preparing for the August 2026 LSAT

We recognize how strongly test takers feel about maximizing their time and focus during their test session, which is why we are publishing these resources now, so that August test takers can practice in the new UI and become comfortable with the features and how they work. 

The finalized UI will be available in June, giving August test takers at least four weeks to practice with all features, including the updated highlighting and underlining tools.

Please note that these UI changes apply only to test takers beginning with the August 2026 LSAT. Anyone taking the June 2026 LSAT should continue preparing using the current LawHub interface, which will remain available through the end of the June administration.

We will continue sharing updates and working with test preparation partners to ensure students and instructors have the information they need.  We thank you for your valuable feedback as we work to ensure a smooth transition to the new testing platform.
