- How many questions are on the LSAT?
- The current LSAT has about 75 to 80 scored questions spread across three scored sections: two Logical Reasoning sections of roughly 24 to 26 questions each and one Reading Comprehension section of about 26 to 28 questions. You also see one unscored variable section that LSAC uses to pilot new questions, so on test day you answer four multiple choice sections without knowing which one does not count. LSAT Writing is completed separately online and is not part of the multiple choice score. If your notes are on paper, run them through an OCR tool like DocuOCR first so the text is selectable.
- How is the LSAT scored?
- Your LSAT score is reported on a scale from 120 to 180. It is based only on the number of questions you answer correctly across the three scored sections, with no penalty for wrong answers, so you should answer every question. That raw count is converted to the 120 to 180 scaled score. There is no fixed passing score because the LSAT is used for law school admissions, not pass or fail. The average score sits around 151 to 152, which is roughly the 50th percentile.
- Does the LSAT still have Logic Games?
- No. LSAC removed the Analytical Reasoning section, commonly called Logic Games, from the LSAT in August 2024. The current test is built entirely from Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension questions, with two scored Logical Reasoning sections and one scored Reading Comprehension section. If you are studying from an older prep book, make sure your practice focuses on the two question types that are actually scored today rather than the retired games.
- How long is the LSAT?
- Each LSAT section is timed separately and lasts 35 minutes. With three scored sections and one unscored variable section, plus a break, the multiple choice portion runs a little over three hours on test day. LSAT Writing is a separate 35 minute argumentative essay you complete online, usually before or after the multiple choice test. Because every section is tightly timed at 35 minutes, pacing on logical reasoning and reading comprehension is a large part of the challenge.
- What is a good LSAT score?
- It depends on the schools you are targeting, but a score above the 151 to 152 median moves you into competitive territory. A 160 is roughly the 80th percentile, a 165 is around the 90th, and a 170 or higher lands near the top few percent of test takers. Many applicants aim to match or beat the median LSAT of the law schools on their list. Because a handful of questions can swing your scaled score several points, consistent practice on fresh logical reasoning and reading comprehension items is what lifts a borderline score into your target range.
- Can you retake the LSAT?
- Yes. LSAC lets you take the LSAT up to three times in a single testing year, five times over the current five year period, and seven times over a lifetime. Law schools generally consider your highest score, though they can see every reported result. Because retakes are limited and each one costs time and money, most candidates prepare thoroughly and use timed practice on unseen questions to confirm they are consistently scoring in their target band before they sit again.
- Is this an official LSAT practice test?
- No. PDFQuiz is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Law School Admission Council or LSAC. This tool generates practice questions from the prep material you upload so you can rehearse recall and reasoning between full official practice tests, and it does not reproduce real LSAT questions. Use it alongside official LSAC PrepTests and your prep course, not as a replacement for timed full length practice under real conditions.
