A Beginner’s Guide to the LSAT

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a standardized test approved by the American Bar Association (ABA) and required for admission to most law schools.

Many students' first question is “how many sections are on the LSAT?” Essentially, it’s comprised of five sections of multiple-choice questions and one optional writing section.

Reading Comprehension -  In the reading comprehension section, you are presented with scholarly passages. This section consists of four passages: three with one author and one with two authors who discuss the same topic.

Analytical Reasoning -  The analytical reasoning or “logic games” section consists of four logic games with four to seven multiple-choice questions.

Logical Reasoning -  It’s an important section to study since it has twice as many points as any other section. Each section consists of 24 to 26 questions.

Sample LSAT Logical Reasoning Questions -  Many cable customers want access to more channels and are choosing to pay more money to have this privilege.

Variable Section -  The variable section is the unscored portion of the test. However, you may not be able to immediately recognize it, so you need to take it seriously and do the best you can on it.

LSAT Writing Sample -  Likewise, the writing section isn’t scored. However, if you complete it, it will be sent to any law school where you apply.
