The Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) assesses a students ability to read passages or arguments closely and answer questions that demand making inferences and evaluating assumptions. The games section requires using logical reasoning. Test writers claim that the multiple-choice questions are chosen to cover a wide range of academic disciplines, and that no single academic background is favored.
The LSAT includes five 35-minute multiple-choice sections and one 30 minute essay. The essay is not scored, but it is used by law school to evaluate your writing skills. The Law School Admissions Council characterizes the components of the LSAT as follows:
Reading Comprehension passages require careful reading to answer questions about
the main idea or
primary purpose of the passage
the meaning or
purpose of words or phrases in the passage
explicit and
inferential information in the passage
organization of
the passage
the application
of information
tone and attitude
Logical Reasoning questions evaluate your ability to understand, analyze, criticize, and complete a variety of arguments and include
recognizing the point of the argument
recognizing the assumptions on which the argument is based
drawing conclusions
identifying and applying principles
finding errors.
Analytical Reasoning Questions (Games) require you to make deductions from a set of statements, rules or conditions that describe relationships among people, places, things, or events.
