Law School Admission Test (LSAT)

The LSAT is the only standardized test accepted by all ABA-accredited law schools in the United States. Each year, more than 100,000 potential law school applicants worldwide take the LSAT. The LSAT is administered in two parts. The first part of the test is a multiple-choice exam. Beginning in August 2024, the scored multiple-choice portion of the LSAT will include two Logical Reasoning sections and one Reading Comprehension section. The second part of the test is a written essay called LSAT Argumentative Writing. You can either take the LSAT at a digital testing center or you can take the LSAT remotely in a digital, remotely proctored environment. It is extremely important to familiarize yourself with the technical requirements for either test modality. The technical requirements are explained in detail on the LSAC website.
