Your LSAT score is one common denominator by which a law school compares you to other applicants. The Writing Sample does not count as part of your LSAT score. The common question types that do count toward your score are Logic Reasoning, which there are two sections, Analytical Reasoning, which there is one section, and Reading Comprehension, which there is one section. In addition to these four sections, one experimental or pretest section will appear. This experimental or pretest section will not count in your score.
All LSAT questions are multiple choice with five choices.
All questions within a section are of equal value. There is no penalty for guessing, so before you move onto the next question, at least take a guess. Try to fill in guess answers for those you have left blank or did not get to before the time is called in that section. The score for the objective portion of the test ranges from 120 to 180. There is no penalty for wrong answers.
