The LSAT has three scored sections — two sections of Logical Reasoning and one section of Reading Comprehension — and a fourth, unscored variable section that will allow LSAC to validate new test questions for future use. LSAT Argumentative Writing is administered separately online and can be taken as early as eight (8) days before your multiple-choice test date.
