Law School Admission Test
The LSAT is LSAC's reasoning test required by virtually every ABA-accredited law school in the US and Canada. For most JD applicants it is the single most heavily weighted number in the file — a few scaled points can move you between merit-scholarship money and a rejection at the same school. With limited test dates each cycle and rolling admissions that reward early, strong applications, one weak sitting can cost you a full year. This page breaks down exactly what the current LSAT tests, how it's delivered, and how to get it done right.

How the current LSAT is built — at a glance
2
Two scored LR sections of roughly 24–26 questions each, 35 minutes apiece. Short arguments where you find assumptions, flaws, and inferences. Together they drive about half your score.
1
One scored 35-minute section, about 26–28 questions across four dense passages — including one comparative paired-passage set drawn from law, science, and the humanities.
1
An extra LR or RC section that doesn't count toward your score. LSAC uses it to pilot future questions — but it's unlabeled, so you can't tell which section it is on test day.
Four 35-minute sections run back-to-back with a single 10-minute break after the second, for a total seat time of about 3 hours including check-in. The on-screen interface lets you flag questions and move within a section, but you cannot return to a section once its timer ends. Logic Games (Analytical Reasoning) was retired in August 2024 and replaced by a second Logical Reasoning section.
Your raw count of correct answers across the three scored sections converts to a 120–180 scaled score; there is no penalty for wrong answers, so you should answer every question. LSAT Argumentative Writing is a separate, required, remotely-proctored task — unscored but reviewed by schools — that you complete as early as 8 days before your test. Your file is incomplete until one writing sample is on record.
Two question types, three scored sections — bars show each type's share of your scored questions
Two scored sections of short argument-based questions. You identify conclusions and assumptions, strengthen or weaken arguments, spot logical flaws, draw must-be-true inferences, and resolve apparent paradoxes — the core skill law schools test for.
One scored section of four long, dense passages — including a comparative pair — drawn from law, science, social science, and the humanities. You track main ideas, author attitude, structure, and fine inferences under tight time.
Roughly speaking, your scored questions split about evenly between Logical Reasoning (two sections) and Reading Comprehension (one section). Because both reward the same disciplined, evidence-first reading, a weakness in one tends to drag the whole score — there is no longer a separate Logic Games section to offset a slow reading pace. A separate, required LSAT Argumentative Writing sample rounds out the file but does not factor into your 120–180 score.
Where you sit the LSAT — and what's changing in 2026
Beginning with the August 2026 LSAT, most test takers sit the multiple-choice exam in person at a Prometric center. Staff verify your government-issued ID, store your belongings, and proctor the room under standard test-center conditions. Prometric operates centers in all 50 US states and internationally.
Through the June 2026 administration, LSAC offered the multiple-choice LSAT as a live, remote-proctored online exam from a private room at home. From August 2026, remote testing is reserved for approved medical accommodations or documented hardships. LSAT Argumentative Writing stays remote for everyone — it's a separate on-demand task taken through LawHub and proctored by Meazure Learning (ProctorU), not Prometric.
A valid, unexpired government photo ID whose name matches your LSAC account exactly. You're photographed and checked in before the test unlocks, in-center or remotely.
For remote sittings: a clear desk, no second monitor, no phone within reach, and a room scan. Scratch paper and a few permitted comfort items follow LSAC's published rules.
Stay in frame and on-camera the whole time on the remote version. One 10-minute break after section two. Leaving the seat, talking aloud, or losing connection can flag the session.
The LSAT is built for law school applicants
No subject requirements — but the curve is unforgiving
Difficulty: The LSAT tests no outside knowledge, but it is one of the hardest reasoning tests in admissions. Every section runs 35 minutes with no calculator and no partial credit, and the steep percentile curve means a handful of questions separates a 160 from a 170. Most serious applicants invest 150–300 hours over several months — exactly the kind of high-stakes, time-boxed pressure our help is designed to relieve.
