<\/span>Exam Eligibility<\/h2>\n

The only eligibility requirement for taking the LSAT is that you must be at least 18 years old.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What is on the LSAT Test?<\/h2>\n

The LSAT is split into two parts: a multiple-choice portion and a writing portion. The multiple-choice portion contains two Logical Reasoning (LR) sections and one Reading Comprehension (RC) section, plus an unscored section that covers either LR or RC content.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Argumentative Writing Section<\/h3>\n

The LSAT Argumentative Writing section is available to take separately from the rest of the exam, starting eight days before your scheduled test appointment. You are encouraged to take the writing test before taking the multiple-choice sections. Most schools require a writing sample as a part of their application packet.<\/p>\n

In the writing section, you are presented with a situation, and you must choose between two positions or courses of action and defend your choice. This section provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your argumentative writing skills. Your position must be clear and decisive with strong, supported criticism of the opposite position. Law schools are not looking for your expertise in law; they are evaluating your ability to organize your thoughts with clarity, using appropriate grammar and language, that shows an ability to defend your position.<\/p>\n

Your full writing sample is sent to every school you apply to.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Multiple-Choice Sections<\/h3>\n

You have 35 minutes to complete each section (including the unscored section).<\/p>\n

\nReading Comprehension<\/strong> (1 section)
\nThis section tests your ability to read and understand complex materials. Lawyers spend countless hours poring over lengthy documents, and law schools want to be certain their students possess the ability to read and comprehend various types of expository texts. Schools expect you to be able to make sense of unfamiliar and difficult information similar to what is found in cases, briefs, codes, contracts, decisions, and evidence.<\/p>\n

There are four passages, each with 5-8 questions to answer. Your ability to understand structure, purpose, comparing and contrasting, and points of view are evaluated rather than your understanding of the facts.<\/p>\n

Logical Reasoning<\/strong> (2 sections)
\nThese sections, sometimes called the “argument” sections, present an array of arguments from an assortment of sources such as magazines, newspapers, professional journals, advertisements, and informal debates. You should be able to deconstruct the argument into its parts and recognize how those parts work together.<\/p>\n

A lawyer\u2019s success centers on the capacity to build a convincing argument based on the evidence available, as well as tearing down opposing viewpoints. As such, these questions assess your capability of disproving example theories and replacing them with rational conclusions of your own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\r\n \"Closed\r\n \"Open\r\n Read Passage<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\nAdelaide:<\/strong> Mainstream cleaning supplies are dangerous for people because they contain toxic chemicals, such as phosphates. Young children are especially at risk for asthma and other diseases from these airborne chemicals, plus some of the cleaning products can imitate estrogen and cause severe health problems for women. Natural cleaning products are safe and effective, however, so people should consider switching to healthier and more environmentally friendly cleaning alternatives.\r\n
\r\n
\r\nMarcel:<\/strong> But natural cleaning products are not as strong as the mainstream products and often fail to provide the same level of cleanliness. If parents keep the cleaning products out of reach, the products will not create a serious risk for children. And the mainstream cleaning products are more affordable for families.\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n
