The LSAT 2026 exam is held only in English and is administered in two cycles (January and June sessions). Candidates must answer each section within the designated time as there is no provision to move between sections.
Analytical Reasoning: This section evaluates the ability to understand and draw logical inferences from complex scenarios, often involving arranging, grouping, or ordering elements according to specific conditions. Topics include ordering, grouping, seating arrangements, and deduction from statements.
Logical Reasoning (Parts 1 & 2): These two sections assess critical thinking, argument analysis, pattern recognition, and the identification of logic flaws. Questions are designed to check the candidate's capacity to reason through, critique, complete, or assess arguments presented in short passages.
Reading Comprehension: This section tests the reading ability by presenting passages drawn from a variety of disciplines — humanities, social sciences, law, and natural sciences. Candidates are assessed on their skill to understand main ideas, infer information, analyze arguments, and compare viewpoints.
