What’s on the LSAT?
The LSAT is a fully digital exam consisting of four multiple-choice sections plus a separate writing sample. Each multiple-choice section is 35 minutes long, for a total testing time of 2 hours and 20 minutes (not including breaks).
Experimental Section
One of the multiple-choice sections is experimental, which means the questions in that section will not count toward your score. This section may be Logical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension.
Here’s the trick: You won’t know which section of the test is the experimental section.
This means you’ll need to go through every section of the test as if it’s being scored.

How is the LSAT Scored?
The test is scored using a scaled scoring method. Here’s how it works:
For every question you answer correctly, you get one point added to your raw score. At the end of the test, your final raw score will be converted to a scaled score. This scaled score will range somewhere between 120 and 180.
The reason your raw score is converted to a scaled score is because everyone who takes the LSAT is given a slightly different set of questions. Since everyone has a different arrangement of questions, and because some questions are harder than others, converting your raw score to a scaled score ensures a more even playing field.
Retaking the LSAT
If you didn’t get the score you wanted on your first try, that’s okay! You can retake the LSAT three times in a testing year and up to seven times in your lifetime.
