The LSAT Examination
The Law School Admissions Test is a half-day standardized test required for admission to all ABA-approved law schools.

· Reading and comprehension of complex texts with accuracy and insight.
· Organization and management of information and the ability to draw reasonable inferences from it.
· Analysis and evaluation of the reasoning and arguments of others.
· Writing an argument after choosing one topic over another based on a set of given facts.
