Law School Admissions Test, administered by LSAC. All ABA-approved law schools, many non-ABA-approved law schools, and most Canadian law schools require an LSAT score from applicants.
The test is graded on a scale of 120 to 180 and consists of multiple-choice questions. It is split up into five, 35-minute sections: one reading comprehension, one analytical reasoning, and two logical reasoning. Only four of these count toward your score as one of them is experimental, testing new questions or forms, but you won’t be informed which section doesn’t count.
At the end of test, you are required to provide a writing sample based on information provided in the final 35-minute period; this is sent to every school who requests your LSAT score but is not graded by LSAC.
The test takes a half-day to complete and is offered four times a year at various test centers.
