LSAT (Current Format)
LSAT: Scores → 14-Day Plan
Games are gone. Logical Reasoning does the heavy lifting, Reading Comprehension (RC) demands precision. We drill arguments like your file depends on it — because it does.
LSAT (Law School Admission Test)
Four 35-minute multiple-choice sections + LSAT Argumentative Writing (separately administered) · Score 120–180
Starting August 2024, Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) is removed. Scored sections: two Logical Reasoning + one Reading Comprehension, plus one unscored experimental section (Logical Reasoning (LR) or Reading Comprehension (RC)). Confirm at lsac.org.

Official score → 14-day plan
When to use this: right after you take an official LSAT PrepTest on LawHub and want a two-week plan built from your real scores.
You are my LSAT coach. Build a 14-day plan from my official practice score. My scores from an official LSAT PrepTest on LawHub: Score [SCORE]; Logical Reasoning misses [LR MISSES], Reading Comprehension misses [RC MISSES], taken on [DATE]. Weakest areas the score report shows (or my own miss notes): [WEAK AREAS, or "not sure"] Target: [TARGET]. Test date: [TEST DATE]. Study time: [HOURS PER WEEK] hours a week. Facts to respect: The LSAT has two scored Logical Reasoning sections and one scored Reading Comprehension section, plus one unscored section, each 35 minutes. There are no Logic Games. Scores are 120–180. LSAT Argumentative Writing is separate and not part of the score. Give me: 1. My gap to the target and which part of the test to prioritise, and why (3 bullets). 2. My top 3 things to fix. For each, one concrete way to practise it with free official material (the free official PrepTests on LawHub). 3. A day-by-day plan for 14 days that fits my hours, with one official practice checkpoint near the end. 4. Three habits I should stop. If any of my numbers are missing, ask me for them before you plan. Do not invent scores or score predictions.

LSAT (Current Format) printable workbook
The LSAT is LSAC’s law-school admissions test—and still the only standardized exam accepted by all ABA-accredited U.S. law schools. LSAC’s job for the test is straightforward: help schools make sound admission decisions by assessing critical reading, analytical reasoning, logical reasoning, and persuasive writing—the skills that show up in first-year casework.
LSAC leans hard on the validity claim you should actually know: studies have consistently shown the LSAT to be the single best predictor of first-year law school performance, even better than undergraduate GPA. They also pitch it as the only admissions test that helps you pressure-test whether law school is the right path before you sink years and debt into it.
Starting August 2024, Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) is removed. Scored sections: two Logical Reasoning + one Reading Comprehension, plus one unscored experimental section (Logical Reasoning (LR) or Reading Comprehension (RC)). Confirm at lsac.org.
Format & Structure
- Four 35-minute multiple-choice sections per test
- Scored: two Logical Reasoning + one Reading Comprehension
- One unscored experimental section (Logical Reasoning (LR) or Reading Comprehension (RC)) that can appear anywhere
- Logic Games / Analytical Reasoning removed (August 2024+)
- Score scale 120–180

Scoring Benchmarks
Principles We Will Not Compromise On
- Drill Logical Reasoning (LR) heavily—it is most of the scored test now.
- Use official PrepTests timed; blind review thoroughly.
- Don’t invest major time in Games materials for current tests.
- Tag Logical Reasoning (LR) question families (assumption, flaw, strengthen, etc.).
- AI tutors process; PrepTests prove scores.
Why Your LSAT Score Matters
- LSAT is the best single predictor of first-year law school grades
- Your score now is almost entirely Logical Reasoning and Reading
LSAT FAQ & Jargon (Post-Games)
New to the current LSAT or still seeing Logic Games in old books? Straight answers and a jargon table — August 2024+ format. LSAC’s LawHub PrepTests are score truth; prompts here are the tutor layer between PTs.
Are Logic Games still on the LSAT?
No. Starting August 2024, Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) is not scored content. Scored multiple-choice volume is Logical Reasoning–heavy (two scored LR sections) plus one scored Reading Comprehension, plus one unscored experimental section that can be LR or RC. Stop primary Games drilling.
What is the experimental section?
An unscored section used for future test development. You will not know which section is experimental while testing — treat every section as real. Do not drop effort mid-test guessing this must be the experimental.
How is the LSAT scored?
120–180 scale from the scored multiple-choice sections. LSAT Argumentative Writing is administered separately and is not a multiple-choice section score. Official PrepTests on LawHub are the honest practice signal.
What is Logical Reasoning (LR)?
Short argument stimuli with questions (assumption, flaw, strengthen, weaken, inference, etc.). Two scored LR sections means most of your points live here — that is where hours should go for most students.
What is Reading Comprehension (RC)?
Longer passages with question sets. One scored RC section; experimental may also be RC. Precision and structure tracking beat vague read more advice.
What is LSAT Argumentative Writing?
A separately administered writing sample for law schools. It is not one of the four timed MC sections on test day in the same way. Follow LSAC’s current scheduling rules; still practice clear argument structure if your timeline allows.
What is score truth for the LSAT?
LSAC LawHub PrepTests under timed conditions. AI can explain misses and drill question types; it does not replace a PT score. After a PT, use the Score Plan prompt on this hub.
Can I use old prep books that include Games?
Yes for LR and RC chapters if the methods are still sound — skip or deprioritize Games chapters. Prefer current LawHub digital practice for interface and section mix. Our Study Split prompt helps reallocate hours.
How do TestLessons prompts fit in?
Copy a prompt from the hub, replace each [BRACKETED] part with your real details, and paste it into a major chat assistant. Use Score Plan after an official practice test, Missed Question for an official question you got wrong, Study Split to divide LR and RC time, and Test Day for the final 72 hours. Official practice tests still set your real score.
Is Khan Academy still official LSAT prep?
The old Khan Academy Official LSAT partnership is not something to treat as current primary official prep. Use LawHub and LSAC materials as the official core.
