Registering for exams

Registering for the LSAT is based on date and location. Once you choose a test date you can register online, by mail or by telephone.

Preparing for exams

The LSAT is made up of five 35-minute multiple-choice sections and a 35-minute writing sample. Only four of the five multiple-choice sections count toward the actual score. The fifth (variable) section consists of new test questions/format to pretest for use in future tests. The writing section is not scored but it is submitted to all law schools the tester has applied.

The three types of questions are asked are: Reading Comprehension, Analytical Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning. For more information go to http://lsat.org/JD/LSAT/about-the-LSAT.asp.
