About this exam
The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a standardized admissions test used by many U.S. law schools to evaluate skills important for legal study. It is intended for people applying to law school, including college students and graduates; applicants generally do not need a particular major to take it. The LSAT focuses on reading comprehension and logical reasoning rather than testing legal knowledge. Schools consider an LSAT score as part of a broader application, which may also include undergraduate grades, essays, recommendations, and other materials.
The current LSAT includes scored Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension sections, along with an unscored section used to test questions for possible future exams. LSAT Argumentative Writing is completed separately and is unscored, but schools may review the submitted writing sample. For Logical Reasoning, review question types such as strengthen, weaken, necessary assumption, and sufficient assumption. Preparation usually involves learning how arguments work, carefully reviewing missed questions, and building accuracy under timed conditions. Check LSAC’s official information for the format and requirements that apply to your test date.
How to prepare for the LSAT
- Study Logical Reasoning by identifying each argument’s conclusion and evidence, then practice strengthen, weaken, necessary assumption, and sufficient assumption questions.
- Build Reading Comprehension skills by summarizing passage structure and the author’s viewpoint; use timed sections periodically and review why each answer choice is supported or unsupported.
- Use LSAC’s official prep materials and current test information, then keep an error log to spot recurring reasoning mistakes and guide your review.
