How to Practise for the LSAT with Practice Quizzes (Post-Logic-Games Format)

Share:XLinkedIn

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

PartWhat it isScored?
Logical Reasoning (two sections)Short arguments. You analyse, evaluate and complete themYes
Reading Comprehension (one section)Long, complex passages like law-school readingYes
Variable section (one section)Logical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension, used to trial new questionsNo
LSAT Argumentative WritingA separate, proctored online essayNo, but it must be on file before your score is released
  • Timing: four 35-minute sections with a 10-minute break between the second and third. About 3 hours in total.
  • Score scale: 120–180.
  • Delivery: online with a live remote proctor, or in person at a Prometric test center.
  • Argumentative Writing: you are given a debatable issue and several perspectives, and you write an argumentative essay that takes a position. It becomes available in your LSAC account eight days before your test date.
  • Official practice: LSAC's LawHub has practice tests in the current format.
  • 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:

  • One 10-question quiz on your weakest Logical Reasoning type, untimed, and write down why each wrong answer is wrong.
  • One Reading Comprehension passage, followed by a quiz on the passage's structure: the main point, the role of each paragraph, and the author's attitude.
  • Flashcards for flaw types, for example "confuses necessary with sufficient" and "sampling error", on a spaced-repetition schedule.
  • 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:

  • Conclusion: the bike lanes made cycling safer.
  • Evidence: reported accidents fell after the lanes opened.
  • Assumption (the gap): nothing else explains the drop. There was no fall in the number of people cycling, no change in the weather, and no change in how accidents are reported.
  • 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

  • For every miss, name why the correct answer is correct and why your answer was wrong, in one line each.
  • Tag misses by question type and by the kind of mistake: misread the conclusion, missed the gap, or fell for an answer that was out of scope.
  • Watch for patterns across weeks. If "out of scope" traps keep catching you, practise eliminating answers that bring in new ideas.
  • 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.
