Short answer. Since August 2024 the LSAT has had no Logic Games. Three scored sections, two Logical Reasoning and one Reading Comprehension, decide your 120–180 score. A fourth, unscored section is mixed in, and you cannot tell which one it is. That makes the LSAT almost entirely a test of reading arguments. The most useful quizzes teach you to name an argument's parts (conclusion, premises, assumption, flaw) quickly and correctly.
The details below were checked against LSAC on 24 September 2026.
The LSAT at a glance
| Part | What it is | Scored? |
|---|---|---|
| Logical Reasoning (two sections) | Short arguments. You analyse, evaluate and complete them | Yes |
| Reading Comprehension (one section) | Long, complex passages like law-school reading | Yes |
| Variable section (one section) | Logical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension, used to trial new questions | No |
| LSAT Argumentative Writing | A separate, proctored online essay | No, but it must be on file before your score is released |
What the format means for how you practise
Logical Reasoning is about two-thirds of your score. Two of the three scored sections are Logical Reasoning, so train question types: find the conclusion, identify the assumption, strengthen or weaken the argument, find the flaw, parallel reasoning. Each type calls for a slightly different way of reading.
Reading Comprehension rewards knowing how a passage is built. The questions ask about the author's purpose, structure and point of view as often as about details. Quizzes should ask "why is this paragraph here?" and not only "what did the passage say?"
You cannot tell which section is unscored. Treat every section as though it counts.
Old Logic Games material no longer applies. If a prep book or course still spends time on analytical reasoning games, skip those chapters.
Why quizzing on argument parts works
Most Logical Reasoning mistakes happen because the test taker misidentified the conclusion or missed the gap between premise and conclusion. Those are small, repeatable skills, and the kind of thing short retrieval quizzes build well. Roediger and Karpicke (2006) found that practice testing produced better retention after a delay than rereading the same material. For the LSAT, that means naming the parts of 10 arguments beats rereading a chapter on argument structure.
A 12-week LSAT practice plan
Weeks 1–2: diagnose. Take one full practice test on LawHub. Sort every missed question by type, for example "assumption: 6 missed" or "main point: 2 missed".
Weeks 3–8: drill by question type. Each day:
Weeks 9–11: timed sections. Take a full 35-minute section three times a week, and a full practice test each weekend. Keep drilling whatever types still show up in your list of missed questions.
Week 12: taper. One practice test, light review of flaw flashcards, and finish your Argumentative Writing essay if you have not already.

Worked example: naming the parts of an argument
A short argument written for this guide:
> *The town's new bike lanes opened in March. Since then, reported cycling accidents have fallen by a third. Clearly, the bike lanes have made cycling safer.*
Before looking at any answer choices, name the parts:
A flaw question would reward the answer that points to this: the argument assumes that because one thing followed another, the first caused the second. A weaken question would reward an answer such as "Far fewer people cycled in the town after March because of a long spell of bad weather."
Turn it into practice: generate 10 short arguments on everyday topics and, for each one, write the conclusion, the evidence and the gap before looking at the options. Once you can name the gap quickly, the question types become much easier to answer.
How to review a Logical Reasoning section
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the LSAT still have Logic Games?
No. Since the August 2024 administration, the scored sections are two Logical Reasoning and one Reading Comprehension. Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) has been removed.
How long is the LSAT?
Four 35-minute sections with a 10-minute break between the second and third, about 3 hours in total. Argumentative Writing is taken separately.
What is the LSAT score range?
120 to 180.
Is Argumentative Writing scored?
No, but a completed writing sample must be on file before LSAC releases your score. Law schools receive the essay.
Can I take the LSAT at home?
Yes. LSAC offers online, live remote-proctored testing as well as in-person testing at Prometric centers.
Are AI-generated LSAT questions as good as official ones?
No. Official LSAT questions go through careful testing before use. Use generated sets to drill a question type many times, and official LawHub tests to measure your progress.
