Your GPA, the Credential Assembly Service application, letters of recommendation, and your personal statement are all taken into account by law schools in addition to your LSAT score. Your LSAT score is often given the same weight as your undergraduate GPA, if not more weight, at law schools. In general, you will have more possibilities for attending law school if you score better on the LSAT.

In place of LSAT results, some law schools are accepting (or are thinking about accepting) GRE results.

When is the best time to take the LSAT?
The LSAT is administered seven times annually. Make sure to schedule your LSAT exam early enough so that your results will be accessible by the deadline for your first law school application. The earlier you can submit a complete application, the better, as many law schools accept students on a rolling basis.

What does the LSAT measure?
The LSAT is divided into four major sections:

Arguments, another name for logical reasoning,
Through June 2024, Analytical Reasoning (sometimes called Logic Games)
Reading comprehension and an ungraded writing sample, sometimes referred to as an essay
There is also an experimental portion of the LSAT that is not scored.

What is the LSAT’s duration?

The duration of the LSAT is two hours and thirty minutes. There are 99–102 multiple-choice questions in the test. The LSAT is created in such a way that the typical test-taker should find it difficult to finish all of the questions in the allocated time.

How does one score on the LSAT?
The score range for the LSAT is 120–180 points. It’s advisable to study as much as you can and take the LSAT just once because the majority of prestigious law schools average multiple LSAT scores. Check out our LSAT score guide.
