What is the LSAT Exam?

LSAC administers the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) four times a year at centers in the USA and Internationally. It is required for admission to all ABA–approved law schools, most Canadian law schools, and many other law schools. Many law schools require that the LSAT be taken by December – one year before attending- for admission the following fall. However, we recommend you take the exam sooner so that you can focus on the law school personal statement and the actual law school application.

What’s on the LSAT?

The test consists of five 35-minute sections of multiple-choice questions. Only four of the five sections will contribute to your score. There is also a writing sample, which is not graded but will be sent to the schools to which you apply.

2 logical reasoning sections with 24-26 items in which you are asked to analyze statements for errors in logic.
1 analytical reasoning (also known as “Logic Games”) section with 24 items in which you are asked to solve complex deductive reasoning puzzles
1 reading comprehension section with 26-28 items in which you are asked to read passages and answer questions
1 experimental section, which can be any of the above. The experimental section is always one of the first three sections. You should do your best on every section, however, some simple reasoning can allow you to narrow down which section might be the experimental.
1 LSAT writing sample

The LSAT section order includes some multiple choice questions sometimes going in different order within a set of tests in order to prevent cheating. Note: the writing sample is always presented last in the examination.

Since the LSAT experimental section is placed in the first three sections of the test you can sometimes narrow down which section is experimental. If you have an analytical reasoning or reading comprehension section in the first three sections, and a second analytical reasoning or reading comprehension in the fourth or fifth sections, then you know for sure the repeated section at the end of the test will be the scored section and the one in the first three sections is the experimental section. Additionally, if your final two sections of the test are logical reasoning, and you have an additional logical reasoning in the first three sections, than you know that one section is the experimental section. Again, you should try to do your best on every section, but understanding these rules can alleviate some anxiety test takers often feel when trying to determine which section is the experimental section.

Should I guess on the LSAT exam?

There are usually about 101 scored multiple-choice questions on the LSAT, each worth exactly one point. There is no penalty for incorrect answers, so try to eliminate a couple of answers and make an educated guess.

How long is the LSAT exam?

The LSAT lasts approximately 3 hours and 40 minutes. There are six 35-minute sections, with a 10-minute break between the third and the fourth sections. However, the LSAC website recommends that students should expect the test day to cover up to seven hours.

How is the LSAT scored?

*Only four of the multiple-choice sections count, but don’t try to guess which one doesn’t!
*The LSAT writing section isn’t scored, but copies are mailed to your chosen schools.
*No points are deducted for blank or wrong answers—make educated guesses!

The ABA requires that law schools take an applicant’s top LSAT score; however, many top law schools will average multiple scores during the admission process. Schools that average or consider all LSAT scores will include this information on their admissions website.

Although your LSAT score isn’t the only facet considered when applying to law school, it’s definitely a big deal! Many law school admissions counselors consider your LSAT score to be the single most important factor for admittance.

Because two out of the four scored sections are Logical Reasoning, LR accounts for approximately half your score. Logic Games accounts for a bit less than one-quarter of your score, and Reading Comprehension accounts for a bit more than one-quarter.

Score bands are reported for all LSAT scores earned on the 120–180 score scale. They reflect the precision of the LSAT and are expressed as a range of scores that have a certain probability of containing your actual proficiency level. Score bands for the LSAT are designed to include your actual proficiency level approximately 68 percent of the time. These bands are reported to emphasize that LSAT scores are estimates of your actual proficiency level. A score band is reported for each individual score, as well as for the average score if you have more than one reportable score.

A percentile rank is also reported for each LSAT score, reflecting the percentage of candidates scoring below your reported test score. The percentile for a score is based on the distribution of scores for the three-year period prior to the year in which the score is reported. Examine your report for further details.
