Overview
LSAC describes the LSAT as four 35-minute multiple-choice sections: two Logical Reasoning, one Reading Comprehension and one unscored variable section that can look like either, with a 10-minute intermission. Scores range from 120 to 180. LSAT Argumentative Writing is completed separately; it is unscored but must be on file before your score is released, and law schools receive it with your report.
With logic games gone, roughly two-thirds of the scored questions are Logical Reasoning. That shifts preparation toward identifying conclusions and premises, spotting flaws and assumptions, and reading dense passages for structure and viewpoint. Much older LSAT material still spends a third of its pages on games; we help you use what is still relevant and ignore what is not.
From August 2026, LSAC requires most candidates to take the multiple-choice LSAT in person at a test center, with limited remote exceptions, and has introduced an updated LawHub interface. The test's format and content have not changed, but we make sure your practice uses the current interface and a realistic test-center routine.
Who it’s for and the problems it solves
This is for you if you are…

Common problems we help with
- You understand the explanations after the fact but cannot find the flaw under time pressure
- Two answer choices always seem right in strengthen, weaken and assumption questions
- Science or law passages in Reading Comprehension slow you down
- Your scores vary widely between practice tests
- You are unsure how to approach the Argumentative Writing prewriting stage

How it works
Goals
We discuss your target schools, application cycle and planned LSAT dates.
Diagnose
You take an official practice test in LawHub; we analyze results by question family and time.
Foundations
We cover argument structure and conditional logic before advanced question types.
Build and test
Timed sections and full practice tests with blind review track progress.
Refine
Final weeks focus on consistency, pacing and Argumentative Writing practice.
Skills and techniques
- Argument mapping
- Identifying the conclusion, premises and gap before reading answer choices.
- Conditional logic
- Translating 'only if', 'unless' and 'no' statements and forming valid contrapositives.
- Answer elimination
- Recognizing typical wrong answers: out of scope, too strong, reversed logic and irrelevant comparison.
- Passage mapping
- Brief notes on each paragraph's purpose and the author's attitude, to answer structure and viewpoint questions quickly.
- Blind review
- Revisiting flagged questions untimed before checking answers, to separate reasoning errors from time pressure.
- Argumentative Writing routine
- Using the prewriting time to weigh perspectives and plan, then writing a clear, well-organized argument in the remaining time.
The LSAT format today
Only three of the four multiple-choice sections count toward your score, and you cannot tell which section is unscored, so every section should be treated as real. The Argumentative Writing task gives you a short prewriting period to analyze the prompt and then time to write; always check LSAC's current specifications, as timing details can be updated.
- Two Logical Reasoning sections (scored)
- One Reading Comprehension section (scored)
- One unscored variable section (Logical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension)
- Score scale 120–180; Argumentative Writing is unscored but sent to schools
Preparing when Logical Reasoning dominates
Logical Reasoning rewards precise reading. Many errors come from answering the question you expected rather than the one asked: an assumption the argument requires is different from one that would prove it. We work question family by question family so these distinctions become habits.
Reading Comprehension benefits from the same skills. Most passages contain arguments, and questions about an author's purpose or a passage's structure are easier when you read with the same attention to reasoning.
The August 2026 move to test centers
LSAC has returned to in-person testing for most candidates, with remote testing limited to specific accommodation and distance cases. LSAC has also updated the LawHub test interface, adding features such as passage highlighting and a clearer question bar. We make sure you practice in the current interface and plan your test day around travel, check-in and the center's rules.
What the work can look like
Illustrative example — fictional data
Sample diagnostic summary
A graduate working full-time took an official LSAT practice test in LawHub. The person and numbers are invented for illustration.
Pattern
Accuracy on flaw and weaken questions was high, but sufficient versus necessary assumption questions were mostly wrong, and seven questions in the second Logical Reasoning section were guessed because of time.
Focus
Two weeks on conditional logic and the difference between necessary and sufficient assumptions, then timed sets with a checkpoint of question 13 by minute 17.
Reading Comprehension
Accuracy dropped on the comparative passage set; practice added a short comparison note before answering questions.

What affects price and turnaround
Price depends on
- Number of sessions and length of your preparation period
- Your starting point and whether foundational logic work is needed
- Amount of practice test review and writing feedback requested
- Individual sessions versus a structured intensive before a specific date
Turnaround depends on
- Test dates and application deadlines
- Weekly study time; many students prepare over several months
- Time between sittings if you plan a retake

Questions people ask before starting
Should I still study logic games?
No, not for LSATs taken since August 2024. Analytical Reasoning is no longer part of the test. Some students still find games useful for practicing conditional logic, but it is not necessary.
Is Argumentative Writing scored?
No, but it is required before LSAC releases your score, and law schools can read it. A clear, well-organized response is worth preparing.
Can I still take the LSAT at home?
From August 2026, LSAC requires most candidates to test in person, with limited exceptions for approved accommodations or significant distance from a test center. Check LSAC's current policy for your situation.
How long should I prepare?
Many students prepare over several months. The right length depends on your starting point, target and weekly hours; your diagnostic will help set realistic expectations.
Do you help with law school personal statements?
Yes, as feedback and editing on your own drafts. See our personal statement coaching page.
