The LSAT and US Law School Entry
The LSAT (Law School Admission Test) is the standard exam used for entry to law schools (JD programs) in the US and Canada, administered by LSAC (Law School Admission Council). The exam consists of Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension sections; the Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) section was removed in August 2024. Scores range from 120-180, with the median score typically around 150.
A 170+ LSAT score creates a strong profile for applications to the T14 law schools (Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Chicago, Columbia, NYU, Penn, Virginia, Michigan, Berkeley, Duke, Northwestern, Cornell, Georgetown). LSAT scores are also a determining factor in merit-based scholarship decisions.
TestPrep's LSAT program systematically develops logical reasoning and analytical thinking skills. We offer argument analysis for Logical Reasoning and legal text reading strategies for Reading Comprehension.
