The LSAT is a required exam for admission to 186 law schools in the U.S., and helps them to make their admission decisions by providing a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills that the schools can then use as factors in assessing their applicants. Registration is $108, and there is an additional $54 charge for registering late. All scheduling and pricing is determined by LSAT, so please check with them for specific dates and fees.

It is a half-day standardized test designed to measure some of the skills that are considered essential in order to succeed in law school:

• Reading Comprehension
• Organization and Logic
• Critical Thinking
• Analytical Thinking and Reasoning

There are five 35-minute sections of multiple-choice questions, and one 30-minute writing section.

The scores are on a scale of 120-180 with 180 being the highest possible score.
