For a more in-depth look at the components of the LSAT, take a look at this LSAC.org video.
The LSAT exam is offered remotely multiple times per year. It is a multiple-choice exam
delivered in a proctored platform. The remotely proctored LSAT provides candidates the opportunity to earn an LSAT score even though in-person testing is not possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting in August 2021, the remotely proctored LSAT exam returned to its traditional five-section test using the same question types as the traditional LSAT: analytical reasoning, logical reasoning, and reading comprehension.
Reading Comprehension
This section will test your ability to identify the purpose and structure of a passage or passages, define main ideas, or evaluate arguments and conclusions. There will be 4 reading passages with 5-8 questions for each passages.
Logical Reasoning
This section contains short, argumentative texts and questions that will test your ability to understand, analyze, manipulate and evaluate arguments and draw conclusions. Each LSAT includes 2 scored sections with 24-26 questions in each question.
Logic Games
You will solve problems with many pieces of data simultaneously that incorporate basic logic, systems of order, and outcomes. There will be 4 sets of data with 5-7 questions per set.
LSAT Writing
LSAT Writing is a proctored, on-demand writing exam that is administered online using secure proctoring software that is installed on the candidate’s own computer. The writing structure is specifically designed to elicit the kind of argumentative writing that candidates will be expected to produce in law school. Candidates will still be given 35 minutes to write an essay in response to the prompt that is presented to them.
