Your LSAT Test Score
What does your LSAT score measure? Your LSAT test score is a measure of how well you answer LSAT questions (on that particular test day). What does a high LSAT score mean? A high LSAT test score means that the person reads well. It is probable that a low LSAT scorer does not read well (although there are a number of other factors that might contribute to a low score). This makes sense because the LSAT is a test of how well you apply your reading and reasoning skills to LSAT questions. In a previous post, I suggested that the LSAT should be called the “R.E.A.D.” test (Reading Effectively and Deducing).
The Two Kinds of LSAT Preparation
“Formal LSAT preparation” = the process of specifically learning to improve the application of your reading and reasoning skills to actual LSAT tests, for the purpose of achieving your maximum LSAT score
“Informal LSAT preparation” = the process of improving your general level of reading and reasoning skills so that you are starting your “Formal LSAT preparation” from a higher general level of reading and reasoning Continue reading
Renaming The LSAT – Let’s call it the “READ” Test
Principle: The best acronyms should be descriptive acronyms!
What does the acronym “LSAT” stand for?
LSAT is an acronym that stands for “Law School Admission Test”.
The LSAT is:
– a four letter word;
– a barrier between you and the law school of your choice (or perhaps any law school)
– a standardized test (every test taker gets the same questions);
– a multiple choice test (rewarding answer identification first and understanding second);
– a long test;
– a test administered under strict time constraints;
– an important test Continue reading

Introduction – What Skills Does The LSAT Test?
The LSAT is a test of reading and reasoning in context. Your reading and reasoning skills will tested in the broad contexts of the following three question types:
– LSAT Logical Reasoning
– LSAT Reading Comprehension
The Format Of Logical Reasoning
Logical Reasoning consists of two of the four scored sections on the LSAT. Each section will have approximately twenty-five questions. For this reason many people say that “Logical Reasoning” is fifty percent of the LSAT. No, reading and reasoning is one hundred percent of the LSAT. Continue reading
Definition: the words “LSAT Happiness” mean that an LSAT test taker has:
“achieved a score that is high enough that he or she will not be rejected from law school.”

The LSAT, Law School Admission, and Role The LSAT Plays in Law School Admission
– John Richardson, Toronto Canada
The LSAT is required by almost every law school in the United States and Canada. (It is interesting that the law schools in Michigan, Illinois and Alabama have not required the LSAT in certain circumstances. It is unclear how this is consistent with the ABA
rules.)
Let’s begin with some sentiment from the mainstream media:
“Yet it’s well-known among law school applicants that many Canadian schools sort their applications into piles by LSAT score and simply axe off those below a certain percentile. How many brilliant future lawyers are lost below that line, who, for one reason or another, simply can’t handle the LSAT?
It seems to me that there’s some room here for a Canadian law school to set itself apart by announcing a new, more holistic approach to admissions by waiving the LSAT requirement and perhaps doing something like having admissions interviews, which no Canadian law school does, instead, on top of using references and personal statements and extra-curriculars and undergraduate performance. If not for a whole
entering class, then perhaps schools could set aside a certain portion of first-year seats for applicants that do not require the LSAT, like the University of Michigan law school did in 2008. Continue reading
