Turn the answer into an exam-ready decision.
The LSAT's multiple-choice portion has four 35-minute sections: two scored Logical Reasoning sections, one scored Reading Comprehension section, and one unscored variable section, with a 10-minute break after the second section. A separate, unscored LSAT Argumentative Writing sample is required on file before your score is released. Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) was removed starting with the August 2024 administration.
The useful distinction is between knowing the label and controlling the task. On the examination, identify what the call asks, select the governing authority, use only legally significant facts, address a genuine counterpoint, and complete the requested product. In the admissions process, route the same question to the authority and deadline governing the exact jurisdiction and administration.
What to do next
- 1
Confirm the current format and policy directly with LSAC before relying on a general answer.
- 2
Diagnose your own weak question types before adding timed drilling.
- 3
Schedule LSAT Argumentative Writing early, since a missing sample holds your score.
- 4
Compare your result to your specific target schools' published LSAT medians.
What this answer does not establish
A national explanation does not establish individual eligibility, guarantee a passing score, replace official practice, or freeze a rule that the jurisdiction may change. Treat date-sensitive claims as a verification task, not an evergreen promise.
