Reading Comprehension measures the candidate’s ability to read, with critical understanding and insight. It consists of lengthy and complex materials similar to those to be studied in law schools. This section consists of four sets of questions, each consisting of a selection of reading material needing evaluation. The reading materials are followed by five to eight questions that test the candidate’s reasoning abilities.

Analytical Reasoning:
Analytical Reasoning tests the ability of a candidate to understand a structure of relationships and draw logical conclusions from it. Candidates are asked to deduce conclusions from a set of statements or principles that describe relationships among persons, things or events. Basically, the Analytical Reasoning section reflects insightful analyses that law students will have to perform during their law study programme at law schools abroad.

Logical Reasoning: 
Logical reasoning section assesses the ability of a law school aspirant to analyse, evaluate and complete arguments. Each question in this section requires the test taker to read and comprehend a short passage, then answer a question about it. The questions evaluate a candidate’s skills that include thinking critically, which is vital in legal reasoning. The LSAT syllabus covers questions that test a student’s ability to draw appropriate conclusions, reason by analogy, determine how additional evidence affects arguments, and importantly applying principles or rules in identifying flaws in arguments.
