The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a half-day standardized test required for admission to all ABA-approved law schools, most Canadian law schools, and many non-ABA-approved law schools. It provides a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills that law schools can use as one of several factors in assessing applicants.

|
The LSAT is designed to measure skills considered essential for success in law school: the reading and comprehension of complex texts with accuracy and insight; the organization and management of information and the ability to draw reasonable inferences from it; the ability to think critically; evaluation of the reasoning and arguments of others. |

The LSAT provides a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills that law schools can use as one of several factors in assessing applicants. The multiple-choice sections are organized into different types of questions: reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and analysis of others' reasoning. These sections are designed to test skills that are important in law school, such as the ability to read complex text with accuracy and draw inferences. |
|
|
|
The LSAT is composed of five sections: logical reasoning, reading comprehension, logic games, experimental, and writing sample. All of these sections are composed of multiple-choice questions and last 35 minutes, with the exception of the writing sample, which entails a brief essay assignment lasting 30 minutes.
|
|
An LSAT score is based on the number of questions that have been answered correctly. Since there is no deduction for incorrect answers, students should guess on questions they do not know. The number of questions answered correctly is converted into a score on a scale from 120 to 180. This score, along with a percentile rank, will be given to the test-taker as well as to any relevant institutions. The LSAT is administered four times a year around the country; to register, visit the LSAC website.
