How many questions are on the LSAT?

The sections, as of October 2026

There’s a 10-minute break between the second and third sections. The sections can come in any order, and you won’t know which one is unscored. So give every section your full effort.

No more logic games

Analytical Reasoning, the section everyone called logic games, was dropped after the June 2024 test. A second Logical Reasoning section took its place. That’s why the scored part is now two-thirds Logical Reasoning.

From August 2027 the count of scored questions stays at 77, but the unscored questions move inside three longer sections. Our LSAT format page has the new layout.

What each question looks like

• Logical Reasoning: a short passage, usually 20 to 100 words, and one question about it. You might find the conclusion, spot a flaw, pick an assumption or decide what would weaken the argument.
• Reading Comprehension: a longer passage of roughly 450 to 500 words with several questions. One set may be comparative reading, where you read two shorter passages and compare them.
• Every multiple-choice question has five answer choices, and you pick the best one.

Is there a passing score?

No. You can’t pass or fail the LSAT. Your score is a number from 120 to 180, along with a percentile that shows how you did compared with other test takers.

What counts as a good score depends on where you want to go. Law schools publish the score ranges of the students they admit, so look up the schools on your list. For our practice test, we use 70% as a target, but that’s just a practice goal, not an official mark.
