The LSAT contains 99 to 101 scored questions across four multiple-choice sections. This total does not include the unscored Writing Sample completed separately. Understanding the breakdown of questions on the LSAT is crucial for effective time management and preparation.
The scored sections and their typical question counts are:
- Logical Reasoning (Two Sections): Approximately 48-52 total questions, making it the most significant portion of the questions on the LSAT.
- Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games): About 22-24 questions.
- Reading Comprehension: Typically 26-28 questions.
Additionally, your test will include an unscored experimental section of 24-28 questions, which looks identical to a scored section. This brings the total questions faced on test day to roughly 120-130 items. Therefore, when preparing for the number of questions on the LSAT, focus on the pacing required for the 99-101 scored items within the 2-hour and 15-minute multiple-choice timeframe.
