Description
What is the LSAT?
The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a standardized skills-based exam designed to test the critical thinking and reasoning skills that are crucial for success in law school. Administered by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), the LSAT is the only standardized test accepted by all ABA-accredited law schools. The basic skills tested on the LSAT include Logical Reasoning (“Arguments”), Analytical Reasoning (“Games”), Reading Comprehension, and Writing abilities.
LSAT scores range from 120-180, with an average score of 153. But only four of the six sections you complete actually contribute to your LSAT score. Test administrators calculate LSAT scores by adding four unique scores: the two Logical Reading sections, the Reading Comprehension portion, and the Analytical Reasoning section. The LSAC recently announced the transition to a digital tablet-based testing format from the traditional paper-and-pencil format because virtual testing allows for a more consistent LSAT test-taking experience while students receive their scores quicker.
