What's tested on the LSAT?
The LSAT is a challenging exam because of its unique blend of restrictive time limits and challenging subject matter. The test was designed as a way to help law schools determine which of their applicants are most suited for success in the law school environment. With this purpose, the LSAT is split into sections that cover Writing, Reading Comprehension, Logical Reasoning, and Analytical Writing. Each of these sections assesses a different set of skills that are vital to success in both law school and when working as a practicing attorney.
For example, the Reading Comprehension section on the LSAT asks test-takers to read over a series of written passages. These passages may focus on a number of different topics but they will all be dense and full of complex information. As the test-taker, your job will be to read through these passages carefully and then to answer a series of questions about what you've just read. You may be asked about things like the author's point of view, the main arguments made in the passage, and how adding new information would affect the meaning of the text. You'll need to repeat this process for multiple passages within a 35-minute time limit.
The Logical Reasoning section consists of questions that were designed to assess your ability to critically evaluate, complete, and analyze arguments. You'll read short excerpts from things like magazines, newspapers, and advertisements. Then you'll be asked to answer one or more questions about the excerpt. To do well on the Logical Reasoning section, you'll need to be able to break an argument down into its different parts and understand how those parts relate to one another. You may be asked to identify principles and rules, reason by analogy, draw conclusions, and more on this part of the LSAT. There are two Logical Reasoning sections on the exam and each has a time limit of 35 minutes.
The next section of the LSAT is called Analytical Reasoning. This section is concerned with assessing your ability to understand and identify logical relationships and then to draw conclusions and inferences from those statements. This section is often referred to as "Logic Games" because the scenarios that you'll be presented with in the section have a game-like quality to them. For example, you could be asked to order a series of objects. In this scenario, you may only be given a few rules that govern the objects' placements. You would need to infer new rules using logic to finish the puzzle.
Finally, the LSAT concludes with its Writing section. Here, test-takers are given a prompt that describes two courses of action or positions. Your job will be to pick one of the options that you're shown and then to write an essay that describes why your choice is the correct one. There is no right or wrong answer on the Writing section. Rather, schools are more interested in how you go about defending your position in the written form. This section won't count towards your final LSAT score. However, doing well on it is a great opportunity to showcase your writing skills to the law schools that you'd like to attend.
How can 51Թ help you get ready for the LSAT?
As the section above details, the LSAT is a challenging exam that requires a wide range of academic skills. Taking a Philadelphia LSAT class could be just what you need to take your test preparation experience to the next level. Your Philadelphia LSAT course will take place online on a powerful virtual learning platform. You'll be instructed by an experienced test preparation educator who will take you on a step-by-step journey through the LSAT's content. You'll learn alongside a group of peers who you can interact throughout this process to further enhance your study sessions.
Another helpful aspect of your Philadelphia LSAT course is the fact that you'll have the opportunity to work with your instructor in a one-on-one setting when you need to. This is something you can take advantage of when you're struggling with one of the topics discussed in your class. For instance, if you're struggling with the Analytical Reasoning section, you can sign up for individualized help for more personalized assistance with the test section. This makes it easy to keep pace with the rest of your class and to continue making the academic growth that you're working towards.
Courses are also a flexible learning opportunity. There are new classes that start weekly and you can choose between two and four-week LSAT preparation options. This means that you can confidently sign up to take a course even if you already have a busy schedule. You can contact us directly if you'd like help picking out the right course for your learning and scheduling requirements.
How can you get started?
Preparing for the LSAT can be a stressful experience. The exam is challenging and could play a large role in your law school admissions cycle. However, you don't have to go through the process alone. Instead, consider reaching out to 51Թ to sign up for a Philadelphia LSAT class. We'd love to help you get more out of your study sessions and feel more confident on the day of your upcoming exam.
