INTRODUCTIONTO THE LSATThe Law School AdmissionTest is an integral part of lawschool admission in the United States, Canada, and agrowingnumber of other countries. The LSAT is the only testacceptedfor admission purposes by all ABA-accreditedlawschools and Canadian common-lawlaw schools. It consistsof five 35-minute sections of multiple-choicequestions.Fourof the five sections contributeto the test taker's score. Thesesections include one Reading Comprehensionsection, oneAnalyticalReasoning section, and two Logical Reasoningsections. The unscored section, commonlyreferred to asthe variable section, typically is used to pretest new testquestions or to preequatenew test forms. The placementofthis section in the LSAT will vary. The score scale for the LSATis 120 to 180.The LSAT is designedto measure skills consideredessential for success in law school: the reading andcomprehensionof complex texts with accuracy and insight;the organizationand managementof informationand theability to draw reasonable inferences from it; the abilityto think critically; and the analysis and evaluation of thereasoning and arguments of others.The LSAT provides a standard measure of acquiredreading and verbal reasoning skills that law schools can.useas one of several factors in assessing applicants.For up-to-dateinformationaboutLSAC's services, go toour website,LSAC.org.SCORINGYour LSAT score is based on the number of questions youanswer correctly (the raw score). There is no deductionforincorrect answers, and all questions count equally. In otherwords, there is no penalty for guessing.Test Score Accuracy-Reliabilityand StandardError of MeasurementCandidatesperformat differentlevels on differentoccasionsfor reasons quite unrelated to the characteristics of a testitself. The accuracy of test scores is best describedby theuse of two related statistical terms: reliability and standarderror of measurement.Reliabilityis a measure of how consistently a testmeasures the skills being assessed. The higher the reliabilitycoefficientfor a test, the more certain we can be that testtakers would get very similar scores if they took the testagain.LSAC reports an internal consistency measure of reliabilityfor every test form. Reliability can vary from 0.00 to 1.00, anda test with no measurementerror would have a reliabilitycoefficientof 1.00 (never attainedin practice). Reliabilitycoefficients for past LSATforms have ranged from .90 to .95,indicatinga high degree of consistency for these tests. LSACexpects the reliability of the LSATto continueto fall withinthe same range.LSAC also reports the amountof measurementerrorassociated with each test form, a conceptknown as thestandard error of measurement(SEM).The SEM, which isusually about 2.6 points, indicates how close a test taker'sobserved score is likely to be to their true score. True scoresare theoreticalscores that would be obtainedfrom perfectlyreliable tests with no measurementerror-scoresneverknown in practice.Score bands, or ranges of scores that contain a test taker'strue score a certain percentageof the time, can be derivedusing the SEM. LSAT score bands are constructedby addingand subtractingthe (rounded) SEM to and from an actualLSAT score (e.g., the LSAT score, plus or minus 3 points).Scores near 120 or 180 have asymmetrical bands. Scorebands constructedin this manner will contain an individual'strue score approximately68 percent of the time.Measurementerror also must be taken into account whencomparingLSAT scores of two test takers. It is likely thatsmall differences in scores are due to measurementerrorrather than to meaningfuldifferences in ability. The standarderror of score differences provides some guidanceas to theimportanceof differences between two scores. The standarderror of score differences is approximately1.4 times largerthan the standard error of measurement for the individualscores.Thus, a test score should be regardedas a useful butapproximatemeasure of a test taker's abilities as measuredby the test, not as an exact determinationof those abilities.LSAC encourageslaw schools to examine the range ofscores within the interval that probablycontains the testtaker's true score (e.g., the test taker's score band) ratherthan solely interpretthe reportedscore alone.Adjustments for Variation in Test DifficultyAll test forms of the LSAT reportedon the same score scaleare designedto measure the same abilities, but one testform may be slightly easier or more difficult than another.The scores from different test forms are made comparablethrougha statistical procedureknown as equating.As aresult of equating,a given scaled score earned on differenttest forms reflects the same level of ability.Research on the LSATSummaries of LSAT validity studies and other LSATresearch can be foundin memberlaw school librariesand at LSAC.org.

HOW THIS PREPTESTDIFFERSFROMAN ACTUAL LSATThis PrepTest is made up of the scored sections from theactual disclosedLSAT administeredin November2019.However, it does not contain the extra, variable sectionthat is used to pretest new test items of one of the threemultiple-choicequestion types. The three multiple-choicequestion types may be in a differentorder in an actual LSATthan in this PrepTest. This is because the order of thesequestion types is intentionallyvaried for each administrationof the test.THE THREELSATMULTIPLE-CHOICEQUESTION TYPESThe multiple-choicequestions on the LSAT reflect a broadrange of academic disciplines and are intendedto giveno advantage to candidates from a particularacademicbackground.The five sections of the test contain three differentquestion types. The followingmaterial presents a generaldiscussion of the nature of each question type and somestrategies that can be used in answering them.Analytical Reasoning QuestionsAnalyticalReasoning questions are designedto assesstheability to consider a group of facts and rules, and, giventhose facts and rules, determinewhat could or must betrue. The specific scenarios associated with these questionsare usually unrelated to law, since they are intendedto be·accessible to a wide range of test takers. However, the skillstestedparallel those involved in determiningwhat could ormust be the case given a set of regulations, the terms of acontract, or the facts of a legal case in relation to the law.In AnalyticalReasoning questions, you are asked to reasondeductivelyfrom a set of statementsand rules or principlesthat describe relationshipsamong persons, things, or events.AnalyticalReasoning questions appear in sets, with eachset based on a single passage. The passage used for eachset of questions describes commonorderingrelationshipsor groupingrelationships,or a combinationof both types ofrelationships.Examples include schedulingemployees forwork shifts, assigning instructors to class sections, orderingtasks according to priority, and distributinggrants forprojects.AnalyticalReasoning questions test a range of deductivereasoning skills. These include:•Comprehendingthe basic structure of a set ofrelationships by determininga completesolution to theproblemposed (for example, an acceptableseatingarrangementof all six diplomatsaround a table)•Reasoning with conditional("if-then")statementsandrecognizinglogically equivalentformulationsof suchstatements•Inferring what could be true or must be true from givenfacts and rules•Inferring what could be true or must be true from givenfacts and rules togetherwith new informationin the formof an additionalor substitutefact or rule·•Recognizing when two statementsare logicallyequivalentin context by identifyinga conditionor rulethat could replace one of the original conditionswhilestill resulting in the same possible outcomesAnalyticalReasoning questions reflect the kinds of detailedanalyses of relationshipsand sets of constraints that alaw studentmust performin legal problemsolving. Forexample, an Analytical Reasoning passage might describesix diplomatsbeing seated around a table, followingcertainrules of protocolas to who can sitwhere.You, the test taker,must answer questions about the logical implicationsofgiven and new information.For example, you may be askedwho can sit betweendiplomatsX andY,or who cannot sitnext to X if W sits next to Y. Similarly, if you were a studentin law school, you might be asked to analyze a scenarioinvolving a set of particular circumstances and a set ofgoverningrules in the form of constitutionalprovisions,statutes, administrativecodes, or prior rulings that havebeen upheld. You might then be asked to determinethelegal optionsin the scenario: what is requiredgiven thescenario, what is permissiblegiven the scenario, and whatis prohibitedgiven the scenario. Or you might be askedto developa "theory"for the case: when faced with anincompleteset of facts about the case, you must fill in thepicture based on what is impliedby the facts that are known.The problemcould be elaboratedby the additionof newinformationor hypotheticals.No formal trainingin logic is required to answer thesequestions correctly. Analytical Reasoning questions areintendedto be answered using knowledge,skills, andreasoning ability generally expectedof college students andgraduates.Suggested ApproachSome peoplemay prefer to answer first those questionsabout a passage that seem less difficultand then thosethat seem more difficult.In general, it is best to finish onepassage before starting on another, because much timecan be lost in returning to a passage and reestablishingfamiliarity with its relationships.However, if you are havinggreat difficultyon one particular set of questions andare spendingtoo much time on them, it may be to youradvantage to skip that set of questions and go on to the

Page 8 of 16

LSAT PrepTest 1 - 89 (2021) - Page 8 preview image

next passage, returning to the problematicset of questionsafter you have finished the other questions in the section.Do not assume that because the conditionsfor a set ofquestions look long or complicated,the questions based onthose conditionswill be especially difficult.Read the passage carefully.Careful reading andanalysis are necessary to determinethe exact nature of therelationshipsinvolved in an AnalyticalReasoning passage.Some relationships are fixed (for example,P and R mustalways work on the same project). Other relationships arevariable (for example, 0must be assigned to either team 1or team 3). Some relationships that are not stated explicitlyin the conditionsare impliedby and can be deducedfromthose that are stated (for example, if one conditionaboutpaintingsin a display specifies that Painting K must be tothe left of Painting Y, and another specifies that Painting Wmust be to the left of Painting K, then it can be deducedthatPainting W must be to the left of Painting Y).In reading the conditions,do not introduceunwarrantedassumptions.For instance, in a set of questions establishingrelationships of height and weightamong the membersof a team, do not assume that a person who is taller thananother person must weigh more than that person. Asanother example, suppose a set involves orderingand aquestionin the set asks what must be true if both X and Ymust be earlier than Z; in this case, do not assume that Xmust be earlier than Y merely because X is mentionedbeforeY.All the informationneeded to answer each questionisprovidedin the passage and the questionitself.The conditionsare designedto be as clear as possible.Do not interpretthe conditionsas if they were intendedto trick you. For example,if a questionasks how manypeoplecould be eligibleto serve on a committee,consideronly those peoplenamed in the passage unless directedotherwise. When in doubt,read the conditionsin their mostobvious sense. Remember, however, that the languagein theconditionsis intendedto be read for precise meaning.It isessential to pay particularattentionto words that describeor limit relationships, such as "only,""exactly,""never,""always,""must be,""cannotbe,"and the like.The result of this careful reading will be a clear pictureof the structure of the relationshipsinvolved, including thekinds of relationshipspermitted,the participantsin therelationships,and the range of possible actions or attributesfor these participants.Keep in mind question independence.Each questionshould be consideredseparately from the other questionsin its set. No information,except what is given in theoriginal conditions,should be carried over from onequestion to another.In some cases a question will simply ask for conclusionsto be drawn from the conditionsas originallygiven. Somequestions may, however, add informationto the originalconditionsor temporarilysuspend or replace one of theoriginal conditionsfor the purpose of that questiononly. Forexample,if Question1 adds the supposition"if P is sittingattable 2 ...," this suppositionshould NOT be carried over toany other questionin the set.Logical Reasoning QuestionsArgumentsare a fundamentalpart of the law, and analyzingargumentsis a key element of legal analysis. Training in thelaw builds on a foundationof basic reasoning skills. Lawstudents must draw on the skills of analyzing, evaluating,constructing,and refutingarguments. They need to beable to identify what informationis relevant to an issue orargumentand what impact further evidence might have.They need to be able to reconcile opposingpositions anduse arguments to persuade others.Logical Reasoning questions evaluate the ability toanalyze, critically evaluate, and completearguments asthey occur in ordinary language. The questions are basedon short arguments drawn from a wide variety of sources,includingnewspapers, general interest magazines, scholarlypublications,advertisements,and informal discourse. Theseargumentsmirror legal reasoning in the types of argumentspresentedand in their complexity, thoughfew of thearguments actually have law as a subject matter.Each Logical Reasoning questionrequires you to read andcomprehenda short passage, then answer one question(or,rarely, two questions) about it. The questions are designedto assess a wide range of skills involved in thinkingcritically,with an emphasis on skills that are central to legal reasoning.These skills include:•Recognizing the parts of an argumentand theirrelationships•Recognizing similarities and differences betweenpatterns of reasoning•Drawing well-supportedconclusions•Reasoning by analogy•Recognizing misunderstandingsotpointsof disagreement•Determininghow additionalevidence affectsan argument•Detectingassumptions made by particular arguments•Identifyingand applyingprinciplesor rules•Identifyingflaws in arguments•Identifyingexplanations

The questions do not presuppose specialized knowledgeof logical terminology.For example, you will not beexpected to know the meaning of specialized terms suchas "ad hominem"or "syllogism."On the other hand, youwill be expected to understand and critique the reasoningcontainedin arguments. This requires that you possess auniversity-level understandingof widely used concepts suchas argument, premise, assumption, and conclusion.SuggestedApproachRead each question carefully. Make sure that you understandthe meaning of each part of the question. Make sure thatyou understand the meaning of each answer choice andthe ways in which it may or may not relate to the questionposed.Do not pick a response simply because it is a truestatement. Althoughtrue, it may not answer the questionposed.Answer each question on the basis of the informationthatis given, even if you do not agree with it. Work within thecontext providedby the passage. LSAT questions do notinvolve any tricks or hidden meanings.Reading Comprehension QuestionsBoth law school and the practice of law revolve aroundextensive reading of highly varied, dense, argumentative,and expository texts (for example, cases, codes, contracts,briefs, decisions, evidence). This reading must be exacting,distinguishingprecisely what is said from what is not said.It involves comparison, analysis, synthesis, and application(for example, of principles and rules). It involves drawingappropriateinferences and applying ideas and arguments tonew contexts. Law school reading also requires the ability tograsp unfamiliar subject matter and the ability to penetratedifficult and challengingmaterial.The purpose of LSAT Reading Comprehensionquestionsis to measure the ability to read, with understandingandinsight, examples of lengthy and complex materials similarto those commonlyencounteredin law school. The ReadingComprehensionsection of the LSAT contains four setsof reading questions, each set consisting of a selection ofreading material followedby five to eight questions.The reading selection in three of the four sets consists of asingle reading passage; the other set contains two relatedshorter passages. Sets with two passages are a variant ofReading Comprehensioncalled ComparativeReading, whichwas introducedin June 2007.ComparativeReading questions concern the relationshipsbetween the two passages, such as those of generalization/instance, principle/application,or point/counterpoint.Lawschool work often requires reading two or more texts inconjunctionwith each other and understandingtheirrelationships. For example, a law student may read a trialcourt decision togetherwith an appellatecourt decision thatoverturns it, or identify the fact pattern from a hypotheticalsuit togetherwith the potentiallycontrollingcase law.Reading selections for LSAT Reading Comprehensionquestions aredrawnfrom a wide range of subjects in thehumanities, the social sciences, the biologicaland physicalsciences, and areas related to the law. Generally, theselections are densely written, use high-level vocabulary,and contain sophisticatedargument or complexrhetoricalstructure (for example, multiplepoints of view). ReadingComprehensionquestions require you to read carefully andaccurately, to determinethe relationships among the variousparts of the reading selection, and to draw reasonableinferences from the material in the selection. The questionsmay ask about the followingcharacteristics of a passage orpair of passages:• The main idea or primary purpose•Information that is explicitly stated•Informationor ideas that can be inferred• The meaning or purpose of words or phrases as used incontext• The organizationor structure• The applicationof informationin the selection to anew context•Principles that functionin the selection• Analogies to claims or arguments in the selection• An author's attitudeas revealed in the tone of a passageor the language used• The impact of new informationon claims or argumentsin the selectionSuggestedApproachSince reading selections are drawn from many differentdisciplines and sources, you should not be discouragedifyou encountermaterial with which you are not familiar. It isimportantto remember that questions are to be answeredexclusively on the basis of the informationprovidedin theselection. There is no particular knowledgethat you areexpected to bring to the test, and you should not makeinferences based on any prior knowledgeof a subject thatyou may have. You may, however, wish to defer working on aset of questions that seems particularly difficult or unfamiliaruntil after you have dealt with sets you find easier.

Strategies.One question that often arises in connectionwith Reading Comprehensionhas to do with the mosteffective and efficient order in which to read the selectionsand questions.Possible approaches include:•reading the selection very closely and then answeringthe questions;•reading the questions first, reading the selection closely,and then returning to the questions; or• skimmingthe selectionand questions very quickly,then rereading the selection closely and answering thequestions.Test takers are different,and the best strategy for one mightnot be the best strategy for another. In preparingfor the test,therefore, you might want to experimentwith the differentstrategies and decide what works most effectively for you.Remember that your strategy must be effective undertimedconditions.For this reason, the first strategy-reading the selection very closely and then answering thequestions-maybe the most effective for you. Nonetheless,if you believe that one of the other strategies might bemore effective for you, you should try it out and assessyourperformanceusing it.Reading the selection.Whatever strategy you choose,you should give the passage or pair of passages at leastone careful reading before answering the questions. Tryto distinguishmain ideas from supportingideas, andopinionsor attitudesfrom factual, objectiveinformation.Note transitions from one idea to the next and identifythe relationships among the differentideas or parts of apassage, or between the two passages in ComparativeReading sets. Consider how and why an author makes pointsand draws conclusions. Be sensitive to implicationsof whatthe passages say.You may find it helpful to mark key parts of passages.For example, you might underlinemain ideas or importantarguments, and you mightnote transitionalwords-" although,""nevertheless,""correspondingly,"and thelike-thatwill help you map the structure of a passage. Also,you mightnote descriptivewords that will help you identifyan author's attitudetowarda particularidea or person.Answering the Questions• Always read all the answer choices before selecting thebest answer. The best answer choice is the one that mostaccurately and completelyanswers the questionbeingposed.•Respond to the specific questionbeing asked. Donot pick an answer choice simply because it is a truestatement.For example, picking a true statementmightyield aniricorrectanswer to a questionin which you areasked to identifyan author's positionon an issue, sinceyou are not being asked to evaluate the truth of theauthor's positionbut only to correctly identify what thatpositionis.• Answer the questions only on the basis of theinformationprovidedin the selection. Your own views,interpretations,or opinions,and those you haveheard from others, may sometimesconflict with thoseexpressed in a reading selection;however, you areexpectedto work within the contextprovidedby thereading selection. You should not expect to agree witheverythingyou encounterin Reading Comprehensionpassages.TAKING THE PREPTEST UNDER SIMULATEDLSAT CONDITIONSOne importantway to prepare for the LSAT is to simulatethe day of the test by taking a practice test under actual timeconstraints. Taking a practice test under timedconditionshelps you to estimate the amountof time you can afford tospend on each questionin a section and to determinethequestion types on which you may need additionalpractice.Sincethe LSAT is a timed test, it is importantto use yourallottedtime wisely. During the test, you may work only onthe section designatedby the test supervisor. You cannotdevote extra time to a difficultsection and make up thattime on a section you find easier. In pacing yourself, andchecking your answers, you should think of each section ofthe test as a separate minitest.Be sure that you answer every questionon the test.When you do not know the correct answer to a question,first eliminate the responses that you know are incorrect,then make your best guess among the remaining choices.Do not be afraid to guess as there is no penalty for incorrectanswers.When you take a practice test, abide by all therequirementsspecifiedin the directionsand keep strictlywithin the specified time limits. Work withouta rest period.When you take an actual test, you will have only a shortbreak-usually10-15 minutes-afterSection.Ill.When taken under conditionsas much like actual testingconditionsas possible, a practice test provides very usefulpreparationfor taking the LSAT.

•• ••.-General Directions for the LSAT Answer SheetThis portion of the test consists of five multiple-choicesections, each with a time limit of 35 minutes. The supervisor will tell you whento begin and end each section. If you finish a section before time is called, you may check your work on that sectiononly:do not turnto any other section of the test book and do not work on any other section either in the test book or on the answer sheet.There are several different types of questions on the test, and each question type has its own directions.Be sure you understand thedirections for each question type before attempting to answer any questions in that section.Not everyone will finish all the questionsin the time allowed. Do not hurry, but work steadily and as quickly as you can withoutsacrificing accuracy. You are advised to use your time effectively. If a question seems too difficult, go on to the next one and return tothe difficult question after completing the section.MARK THE BEST ANSWER YOU CAN FOR EVERY QUESTION. NO DEDUCTIONSWILL BE MADE FOR WRONG ANSWERS. YOUR SCORE WILL BE BASED ONLY ON THE NUMBEROF QUESTIONS YOUANSWER CORRECTLY.ALL YOUR ANSWERS MUST BE MARKED ON THE ANSWER SHEET.Answer spaces for each question are lettered to correspondwith the letters of the potential answers to each question in the test book. After you have decided which of the answers is correct,blacken the corresponding space on the answer sheet.BE SURE THAT EACH MARK IS BLACK AND COMPLETELY FILLS THEANSWER SPACE.Give only one answer to each question. If you change an answer, be sure that all previous marks areerasedcompletely.Since the answer sheet is machine scored, incomplete erasures may be interpreted as intended answers.ANSWERSRECORDED IN THE TEST BOOK WILL NOT BE SCORED.There may be more question numbers on this answer sheet than there are questions in a section. Do not be concerned, but be certainthat the section and number of the question you are answering matches the answer sheet section and question number. Additionalanswer spaces in any answer sheet section should be left blank. Begin your next section in the number one answer space for thatsection.LSAC takes various steps to ensure that answer sheets are returned from test centers in a timely manner for processing. In the unlikelyevent that an answer sheet is not received, LSAC will permit the examinee either to retest at no additional fee or to receive a refund ofhis or her LSAT fee.THESE REMEDIES ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT AN ANSWERSHEET IS NOT RECEIVED BY LSAC.HOWDID YOUPREPAREFOR THELSAT?(Selectall that apply.)Responses to this item are voluntary andwillbe used for statistical research purposes only.0By using Khan Academy's official LSAT practice material.OBy taking the free sample questions and/or free sample LSAT available on LSAC's website.OBy working through official LSATPrepTestand/or other LSAC test prep products.OBy using LSAT prep books or softwarenotpublished by LSAC.OBy attending a commercial test preparation or coaching course.OBy attending a test preparation or coaching course offered through an undergraduate institution.OSelf study.OOther preparation.ONo preparation.CERTIFYINGSTATEMENTPlease write the following statement.
