LSAT- The Law School Admission Test

Introduction

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a 101-question, multiple-choice, skill based test which assesses the reading and verbal reasoning skills of applicants for law school. The test is administered by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). The LSAT test is for 4hours-25 minutes. The fee to take the LSAT is $123.

Test Description

The LSAT is composed of five 35-minute multiple-choice sections and one 30-minute essay. It consists of:

Logical Reasoning Section- This includes two 35 minute sections, each containing 24-26 multiple-choice questions focusing on analyzing and evaluating arguments.

Analytical Reasoning Section- This includes one 35 minute section with 24 multiple-choice questions focusing on logic games, basic logic and ability to make logical connections and conclusions.

Reading Comprehension Section- This includes one 35 minute section with 26 multiple-choice questions focusing on how well applicants' understood the given passage usually taken from the humanities, the social sciences, philosophy, and others and the information in it.

Experimental Section- This includes one 35 minute section with 26-28 multiple-choice questions focusing on either Arguments, Logic Games, or Reading Comprehension. The score in this section does not count towards the final score.

Writing Section- Includes a 30 minute essay section focusing on applicants' writing and presentation ability, taking a stand on an issue and ability to argue a position.

Score

The LSAT is scored on a scale of 120 to 180, with an average score of 150. There are no separate scores for the individual multiple choice sections. Along with the LSAT score, applicants' will receive a percentile ranking. This ranking compares individual applicant performance with that of everyone else who has taken the LSAT in the previous three years.

Note: Applicants' can cancel their LSAT scores at the test center by completing the score cancellation section on the LSAT answer sheet, or cancel scores by sending a written cancellation request to LSAC within five days of the test.
