The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is an integral part of law school admission administered by the
Law School Admission Council (LSAC). Currently, it is composed of Multiple-choice LSAT questions and LSAT writing. The multiple-choice test includes reading comprehension, analytical reasoning, and logical reasoning questions. In the writing part, the applicants will demonstrate their persuasive writing skills. Most law schools require to submit a sample of LSAT writing in application process, although writing samples do not receive a score. The range of LSAT score is 120 (lowest) to 180 (highest).
