Taking the International LSAT

Hello everyone!! Does anyone have any information on taking the international LSAT? Is it the same exam and does it look ok on law school applications?

I am thinking about moving abroad for a year before attending law school (a life long dream of mine), however I'm worried about taking the LSAT and if taking the international test is a good idea? From my understanding if you're not psychically in the US or Canada you can't take the regular exam and need to register for one of the specified international dates, so this would be my only option if I chose to go. This is probably a niche question, but any insight would be helpful. Thank you!!

    As far as I'm aware, it's the exact same test. I'm living abroad and taking it in April.

    I took mine in Korea. There should be zero disadvantage (or advantage) for taking it abroad because it's exactly the same test. One thing to keep in mind though! You need to present a valid passport. Just a driver's license won't do. Had to learn this the hard way...

    @MattyCzar & @yhtkim - Thank you both so much for your response!! This makes me feel a bit better about possibly taking it while abroad.
