LSAT® — Law School Admission Test
The admission test for law school — arguments, assumptions, flaws and dense reading, scored 120–180.
About the exam
The LSAT is the standardized admission test used by law schools in the U.S., Canada and beyond. It measures the reading and reasoning skills law school demands — analyzing arguments, spotting assumptions and flaws, and understanding complex passages. There's no degree or age requirement to take it, no math and no legal knowledge needed.
The multiple-choice test has four 35-minute sections — two scored Logical Reasoning sections, one scored Reading Comprehension section and one unscored variable section that can appear in any position — with a 10-minute intermission after section 2. Logic games have not been tested since August 2024. LSAT Argumentative Writing, an unscored 50-minute essay sent to schools, is taken separately online. From August 2026 almost everyone tests in person at a Prometric test center.
Our practice covers every Logical Reasoning question type and Reading Comprehension skill, with original arguments, passage sets and comparative reading pairs in the real five-choice format. Add flashcards, worked walkthrough case studies that take an argument apart step by step, illustrated guides to argument structure, and timed practice tests that give an estimated LSAT score.

Test at home or at a center
Register for the LSAT through your LSAC JD Account, then schedule your day and time within the test window — first to register, first to schedule. From the August 2026 test, the LSAT is given in person at Prometric test centers for almost all test takers.
At a Prometric test center (default)
- Computer-delivered on LSAC's digital test interface at Prometric centers in the U.S. and internationally.
- Book early — seats are assigned first to register, first to schedule.
- Bring acceptable government-issued photo ID that matches your LSAC account.
- Phones, bags, watches and notes go in a locker; there's a 10-minute intermission after section 2.
Remote — by exception only
- Since August 2026, remote testing is only for approved accommodations that can't be met in a center, or test takers far (about 180 miles / 3 hours) from a Prometric center.
- Remote sessions use live human proctoring with heightened security — check LSAC for how to request it.
- LSAT Argumentative Writing is still taken online at home, as early as 8 days before your multiple-choice test.
- Run any required system check well before test day and test alone in a quiet room.
Exam-day game plan
How to walk in ready — and how to pace about 77 scored questions in three 35-minute sections.
Pacing checkpoints
Our timed test simulates the three scored sections — about 77 questions in 105 minutes. The real LSAT adds an unscored variable section (four 35-minute sections in all) and a 10-minute intermission after section 2; LSAT Argumentative Writing is a separate 50-minute essay and isn't simulated.
The week before
- Take one full timed practice test 4–6 days out, then shorter sets and rest.
- Review your weakest Logical Reasoning question types — assumptions, flaws and strengthen/weaken are the most common.
- Practice mapping each passage's structure and the author's view before you look at the questions.
- Confirm your Prometric appointment, ID and route — and finish Argumentative Writing if you haven't.
During the test
- Read the question stem first so you know what you're hunting for in the argument.
- Find the conclusion and its support before you look at the answer choices.
- Reading Comprehension: note the main point, the author's attitude and what each paragraph does.
- Aim for about 1 minute 20 seconds a question; skip a time sink, flag it and come back.
- Answer every question — there's no penalty for wrong answers.
Keep your head
- A few nerves sharpen focus. If you freeze, take three slow breaths and reread the stem.
- One section may be the unscored variable section — and you can't tell which — so give every section full effort and let a hard one go.
- Use the 10-minute intermission to eat, stretch and reset.
After you test
- Scores are released about three weeks after the test and are reportable for five testing years after the year you test.
- LSAC sends your score and Argumentative Writing sample to the law schools you apply to through its Credential Assembly Service (CAS) — a completed writing sample is required before scores are released.
- You can retake the LSAT, within LSAC's limits on how many times you may test — check the current testing limits on lsac.org before you plan a retake.
