How Is the JD-Next Test Different?

JD-Next is a pioneering law school admissions exam that predicts performance by measuring how students learn and apply legal concepts learned in the 8-week course. Unlike traditional tests, it assesses practical skills, bridging the gap between learning and performance.

By focusing on learning ability, JD-Next promotes equity and reduces score disparities. More than an exam, it prepares students for law school success in a structured, supportive environment.
