Strategy and Pacing Content and Structure
In this section, we'll tell you a little more about how the LSAT is put together and give you solid strategies that will give you an edge on test day. The LSAT* is unlike any other exam you've taken, but you can improve your score once you understand how it works.
-
There's no penalty for wrong answers, so always fill in an answer for every question. Many applicants take the exam without knowing this simple and crucial fact. Your scaled score is based only on the number of questions you answer correctly. There are no deductions for wrong answers, so always fill in an answer for every question. Even a blind guess gives you a 20% chance of being right, and that's better than nothing.
-
The questions aren't presented in order of difficulty, so choose the order that's best for you. The 3rd or 4th logic game or reading passage could be the easiest one. Take a brief look at all four before you decide where to begin. Plus, at the end of every Logical Reasoning section are questions that may be really easy-get to them! Also, don't be alarmed if you run across some extra-tough questions at the beginning of the section. It happens. Skip past tough ones and come back to them later; be sure to circle them in the test booklet so you can locate them quickly.
-
You don't have to get every question correct to get a great score. 20 questions wrong is roughly a 165, which is above the 90th percentile. Not bad for missing a fifth of the questions! So relax: There's no need to panic when faced with difficult material.
- A few points of improvement can dramatically improve your admissions chances. If you get about half the questions right, you'll score at about the 40th percentile-not a great place to be. But getting just four more right answers per section will vault you above the 70th percentile. So if you're scoring around the middle now, you have much to gain by improving your LSAT* skills.
