LSAT format and sections

The LSAT takes about three hours: four 35-minute multiple-choice sections with a 10-minute break after the second. Two are Logical Reasoning, one is Reading Comprehension and one is unscored. Logic games are gone, and there’s no math. You also write a 50-minute essay online, on a different day if you like. From August 2027 the test changes to three longer sections.

The sections can come in any order, and you can’t tell which one is unscored. 77 questions count: 50 in Logical Reasoning and 27 in Reading Comprehension. Every question is multiple choice with five answer choices. The essay is the only part you write.

What each part asks

  • Logical Reasoning: a short argument, then one question. You might find the conclusion, spot a flaw, pick the assumption it depends on, or decide what would strengthen or weaken it.
  • Reading Comprehension: four passages of roughly 450 to 500 words, each with several questions. One set may be comparative reading, with two shorter passages.
  • Argumentative Writing: a debatable issue with three or four short perspectives. You take a position and deal with some of the other views. It isn’t scored, but schools read it.

What changed in 2024 and 2026

  • After June 2024, the Analytical Reasoning section, better known as logic games, was dropped and a second Logical Reasoning section took its place. LSAC announced this on October 18, 2023.
  • The change came after LSAC settled a 2019 lawsuit by two blind test takers, who said diagramming the games put blind people at a disadvantage. LSAC’s research found the change moved the mean score by 1/100 of a point.
  • From August 2026, most people take the LSAT in person at a Prometric test center again. Remote testing is only for approved exceptions.
  • The LSAT-Flex tests from May to August 2020 don’t count toward the limits on how many times you can take the LSAT.

The new format from August 2027

SectionTimeQuestions
Reading Comprehension52 minutes40 from 6 passages, 27 scored
Break10 minutes
Logical Reasoning 145 minutes32, 25 scored
Break10 minutes
Logical Reasoning 245 minutes32, 25 scored

The unscored questions move inside the three sections instead of having their own, and their position differs from person to person. The order is the same for everyone. The whole test runs 10 minutes longer, mostly from the extra break.

What you’re scored on doesn’t change: still 77 questions, the same question types and about the same time per question, on the same 120 to 180 scale. New-format practice tests come to LawHub in February 2027. If you test by June 2027, you get the current four-section format.
