About Taking the LSAT

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a multiple-choice test for applicants to law schools. The test is administered by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC).

The LSAT is composed of five 35-minute multiple-choice sections and one 35-minute essay. Two of the five multiple-choice sections will be Arguments (Logical Reasoning), one will be Games (Analytical Reasoning), and one will be Reading Comprehension. There will be an experimental section which doesn't count towards your score and may appear in any order during the test. You will not know which section is the experimental section. The experimental section can be Arguments, Games, or Reading Comprehension.

LSAT Test Format
MULTIPLE-CHOICE SECTIONS	» 35 minutes per section » 24-28 multiple-choice questions » LSAT Analytical Reasoning » Logical Reasoning (two sections) » LSAT Reading Comprehension
VARIABLE	» Can be any of the above sections » Not score, used for future tests
WRITING	» 1 35-minute essay » Measures your skills in reasoning, clarity, organization, language skills and usage, and writing techniques

 

How is the LSAT scored?
The LSAT is scored on a scale of 120 to 180, with an average score of 150. Along with your LSAT score, you will receive a percentile ranking. This ranking compares your performance with that of everyone else who has taken the LSAT in the previous three years.

How important are my LSAT scores?
Law schools use your percentile ranking to determine where your score places you in comparison to your competition. More than 50 percent of test takers receive scores between 145 and 159, although this range represents less than one-quarter of the possible scaled scores. A score of 160 or above would put you in an elite group.

Can I cancel my scores?
Yes. You can cancel your LSAT scores at the test center by completing the score cancellation section on the LSAT answer sheet. You can also cancel your scores by sending a written cancellation request to LSAC within six calendar days of the test. Score reports will reflect that your score was cancelled at your request. And you should be aware that you can only take the LSAT three times every two years and that includes cancelled tests.

Where can I take the LSAT? 
In China, The LSAT is currently only offered at test centers in Beijing at Beijing University and Kowloon at the Hong Kong Exam Authority. If you live more than 100 miles away you can request an "unpublished" test center that will be closer to you, but it will cost extra. The test is offered four times a year but international test centers sometimes don't offer tests on all four dates, so check with the individual center to find out more.

How do I pick a test date?
First find out the application deadlines for the law schools to which you are applying, then work backwards from your earliest deadline. Build some extra time in to your planning process for unexpected delays. Registration deadlines are typically one month before the test date (or 2 months for an unpublished test center); late registration deadlines are typically three weeks before the test. The test is currently offered four times a year in Asia.

What fees are associated with the LSAT?
It costs USD 136 to take the LSAT which includes one free score report. The late registration fee is USD 68. In addition, subscription to the Credential Assembly Service (formerly Law School Data Assembly Service or LSDAS) is required to apply to many law schools (the complete list). CAS is a service provided by LSAC to help assemble and authenticate your transcripts and recommendations (oh and they also want more of your money). This subscription costs USD 124 and each report costs USD 12. Waiver forms for the LSAT and LSDAS fees are available through LSAC and can be downloaded from the LSAC website at http://www.lsac.org/.

Where can I get more information about the LSAT?
