What is the LSAT like?

The LSAT is delivered in person at a digital test center. The multiple-choice portion of the test consists of two scored Logical Reasoning sections and one scored Reading Comprehension section, plus one unscored section of either Logical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension that will enable us to validate new test questions for future use.

The LSAT includes a 10-minute intermission between the second and third sections. During the intermission, you can leave your testing area to have a snack or use the restroom. Possession of electronic devices, such as cellphones, is prohibited during the intermission and will result in the termination of your test. You will need to check in with your proctor before you can resume testing.

If you do not have a previous writing sample on file, you must also take LSAT Argumentative Writing, a proctored, on-demand writing exam that is administered online using secure proctoring software that is installed on your own computer. You’ll complete LSAT Argumentative Writing separately from the multiple-choice portion of the test, at a convenient time and place of your choosing. LSAT Argumentative Writing becomes available in your online account eight days prior to your test administration.
