The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is an examination administered by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), intended to provide law schools in the United States and Canada with a standard measure for applicants’ reading and verbal reasoning skills. The test currently has six 35-minute sections. Five are multiple choice sections, one of which is experimental and unscored, and one section is a writing sample.

Like most standardized tests, the LSAT has a normalized scale. The LSAC adjusts raw LSAT scores to fit an expected norm. This is intended to overcome the likelihood that some administrations may be more difficult than others. Normalized scores are distributed on a scale from a low of 120 to a high of 180.

The LSAC recommends that students prepare beforehand, due to the importance of the LSAT in law school admissions and because scores on the exam respond to preparation. Our LSAT preparation course focuses on pure reasoning. Students are instructed in the multiple cognitive techniques needed to process lengthy and complex passages, identify the elements of arguments, understand relationships among statements, evaluate conclusions, diagram constraints, and integrate facts and constraints into arguments. The course consists of twelve one-hour private sessions with Dr. Jay Blumenthal.

Dr. Blumenthal is ideally suited to help you master this test. With a PhD in English, a MA in Philosophy and over twenty-two years of tutoring experience, he operates at the exact point where language and logic converge. He can show you how to think like a test maker, and future professional.
