The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a half-day, standardized admissions test for those considering a degree in law studies after undergrad. All American Bar Association-approved law schools, most Canadian law schools, and many other law schools require applicants to take the LSAT as part of their admission process.
The LSAT seeks to test reading comprehension, analytical reasoning and logistical reasoning through five 35-minute sections of multiple choice questions. Additionally, the test offers two unscored sections. The first unscored section is used to pretest new questions and test forms; the other is a 35-minute writing sample that asks you to argue a point-of-view on a topic. Though it is untested, this section is sent to each law school to which students apply.
Many law schools require that the LSAT be taken by December for admission the following fall. However, taking the test earlier—in June or September—is often advised.
