The Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) assesses an examinee's ability to make inferences from established questions. The test is a series of questions, which are primarily multiple choice questions that require the test takers to make logical and analytical inferences based upon the given information in the LSAT questions. Each question is based on an argument, and the test takers must utilize their time effectively to be able to accurately complete each question in a timely manner. As a whole, the entire LSAT examination consists of a logical reasoning section, analytical reasoning section and a reading comprehension section. The best way to prepare for an LSAT examination is the have a clear understanding of the types of questions on the exam and the appropriate formula used to answer each type of question. Before sitting for the LSAT exam, it is beneficial for an individual to answer a series of practice questions. Although the actual exam questions on the LSAT test may be somewhat different than the practice test questions, the type of questions are very similar and may require similar types of reasoning to resolve the questions. Since each section on the LSAT examination is timed, applicants should not spend too much time on any one question. Some question may require additional time to determine the correct responses than other questions. However, it is best to allocate a specific set of minutes for each question. Many examinees choose to answer the easiest questions first, and use the remaining of their time to tackle the more time-consuming test questions. Applicants who choose to apply to take the LSAT examination must currently have a bachelor's degree and are pursuing a law school education. The LSAT exam is the first step to applying for law school, since all accredited laws require applicants to have a certain score on LSAT to qualify for their J.D. program. Law schools are categorized by 4 different tiers, and generally, the 1st tier law schools require applicants to have higher LSAT scores than the lower tier schools. There are a variety of LSAT preparation resources available to prospective law school students, including courses given at colleges and universities as well as course provided by private educational organization. Some of the LSAT preparation courses are the Princeton Review, Kaplan, Knewton and many more.
