I'm taking the LSAT this weekend and the website says the expiration date is on April 10 for the writing section (before I take the multiple choice). Does this mean I have until 11:59pm on April 10 to take the test, or does it expire on the 10th and I need to take it before that? (ie: 11:59pm on the 9th) I have found no answer to this question and I am very confused about it. thanks!

Per LSAC's website: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/about/lsat-ar ... ve-writing:

"If you do not have a writing sample on file, we encourage you to complete LSAT Argumentative Writing as soon as you can. LSAT Argumentative Writing opens eight (8) days prior to every test administration. Candidates must have a complete writing sample in their file in order to see their score or have their score released to schools. Most law schools require a writing sample as an integral part of their admission decision, and therefore, you should complete the writing sample immediately to meet schools’ application deadlines.

In case you are not applying in the current cycle, please note you have a maximum of one (1) year to complete LSAT Argumentative Writing. For questions, please contact LSAC’s Candidate Services team at LSACinfo@LSAC.org or 1.800.336.3982."
