Also, let us talk
about the exam duration, pattern and syllabus for the LSAT exam. The total
duration of the exam is 2 hours and 20 minutes. Basically, there are 35 minutes
allotted to each section and one cannot switch between the sections. This means
that one has to complete one section in 35 minutes before which one cannot move
to the other section. The exam will be held in pen paper mode i.e. offline.

Then
comes logical reasoning where one has to complete the arguments after analyzing
and critically evaluating the given information. Here one would also be
required to assess how additional statements or additional information affects
the argument. Also, one would have to answer questions based on deducing which
argument has a flawed logic.

Now a little
something about the admit card is that one has to download it online from the
official LSAT website. Once the admit card is printed the student will then
appear for the exam.

for wrong questions
for wrong questions
I would now like
to go over what happens when during an exam the student thinks that a
particular question is wrong. In this case the student must inform the
invigilator of the same and it is the invigilator who will then take the
concern to the LSAT organizing committee. Also, in this case the student must
mark any of the given choices as the correct answer and not leave the question
without an answer.

Cut-offs
Next up comes cut
offs. No official cut offs are released by organizing committee and there won’t
be any sectional cut offs either therefore overall percentile is looked at
during admissions. But the participating colleges will have their own cut offs
based on which admissions are given to students.
