LSAT (Law School Admission Test)
The LSAT is an exam that is a pre-requisite for anyone wishing to attend law school. The LSAT is offered four times per year at various locations around the nation. Participants can take the LSAT more than one time if they feel that they can perform better given another chance.

As for the LSAT exam itself, it consists of five, thirty-five minute sections, and a writing sample. The five, thirty-five minute sections are composed of multiple-choice questions. These five sections include the following subcategories:

1. Reading comprehension: Tests your level of understanding and application with respect to various reading samples.

2. Analytical reasoning: Tests your ability to follow a written description of various relationship structures and to answer questions based on those relationship structures. This is also referred to as the "games" section.

3. Logical reasoning (2 sections): Presents the participant with an argument. The participant must then either find the flaw in the argument or draw a conclusion from a valid argument.

4. Variable section: This section is a repeat of one of the aforementioned sections and does not count towards your LSAT exam score. It is merely a testing ground for the LSAT exam preparers. Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine which section is the variable section, so the participant must approach each section assuming it will affect the score.

Test Scores

The LSAT scores displayed on the official LSAT score report may be a bit confusing at first. The official score report, which you may either access online or receive in the mail, will feature your most recent score, placed on a scale from 120 to 180. The score will be accompanied by a score band, which indicates the range within which your actual proficiency is believed to fall. LSAT scores are thought to be extremely accurate, but the LSAC nevertheless strives to give you the most comprehensive depiction of your aptitude.
