What is the LSAT?
The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a half-day, standardized test that is required of applicants to all American Bar Association (ABA)-approved law schools, most Canadian law schools, and many other law schools. The test is designed to measure skills that are considered essential for success in law school: the reading and comprehension of complex texts with accuracy and insight; the organization and management of information and the ability to draw reasonable inferences from it; the ability to think critically; and the analysis and evaluation of the reasoning and arguments of others.
