Introduction to LSAT


 LSAT is the Law School Admission Test practicing in the United states. It is a multiple-choice test consisting of 99 to 102 question with a 35-min essay question and a four-hour test. To anyone who thinks of getting into a law school in the states, they must need this test score since every law school ask for it. There were four times for a year; February, June, September/October, and December and its score scale is from 120 to 180. Its average score is 152, which is almost 60 percent correct. 

 Test schedule
1) Game (35 min)
2) Experimental Reading Comprehension (35 min)
3) Arguments (35 min)
- 10 min break
4) Reading Comprehension (35 min)
5) Arguments (35 min) 
6) Writing Sample (35 min)
 * Experimental and writing sections are not scored, and writing sample will send to the law school.

The structure of Arguments section
- (24-26 questions) mostly 1 question/ 1arguments 
- although every question has 3-4 lines, words are very heavy and important and skill is needed

The structure of a Game Section
- 4 logic games (a setup and conditions/clues given)
- 5-7 questions for every logic game

The structure of a Reading Comprehension section
- 4 reading comprehension passages about 60-80 lines; 3 passages written by one author, but last one passage is a combination of two shorter passages from different sources on the same topic.
- 5-8 questions for each passage.

General Strategy
1) Don't Rush, 2) Fill in eery bubble, 3) Use process of Elimination, 4) Be prepared for every environment, 5) Practice consistently on real LSATs, 6) Keep your pencil moving to focus!!!

I just started to study LSAT and maybe some information and studying I did be posted on this blog.
