The LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, is a standardized exam used for admission to law schools in the United States and Canada. It assesses skills in reading comprehension, logical reasoning, and critical thinking, which are essential for success in law school and legal practice. The test consists of multiple-choice questions and a writing sample. Administered by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), the LSAT is typically taken by students in their final year of undergraduate studies or after graduation. Scores range from 120 to 180, and many law schools use these scores, along with other application materials, to evaluate candidates.
