The Law School Admission Test

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a 150-minute standardized exam administered eight times each year by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) at designated testing centres throughout the world, but primarily in Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean. All American Bar Association (ABA) approved law schools require the LSAT as part of their admissions process.

The LSAT provides a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills that law schools use as a primary factor in assessing applicants. The test itself is comprised of numerous questions designed to assess a wide range of abilities involved in critical thinking, with an emphasis on the skills that are central to legal reasoning. These skills include:

• The reading and comprehension of complex text with accuracy and insight
• The organization and management of information and the ability to draw reasonable inferences from it
• The ability to think critically
• The analysis and evaluation of the reasoning and arguments of others

LSAT Exam Breakdown

The LSAT is scored on a scale of 120-180 points. The weight given to the LSAT will vary according to the other elements in each applicant's file. Be sure to check out our ABA-Approved Law School Profiles for more information about all law schools across the country.

For more information about the LSAT exam itself, including registering for the test, check out our LSAT Information page.

Limited Class Size

In order to ensure a low student-to-instructor ratio, our LSAT test prep courses have a limited enrollment with spaces allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. The small class size provides a comfortable setting with ample opportunity for interaction with our talented and experienced LSAT course instructors.

Practice LSAT Exam Tests with Review of Questions

Our courses conclude with the writing of full-length practice LSAT exams during which testing conditions are carefully reproduced. This provides our students with an excellent opportunity to practice and master (under LSAT exam conditions) the many skills they have acquired during the weekend course.

Our Talented and Experienced LSAT Course Instructors

Oxford Seminars maintains the highest standards for all of our course instructors. We hire and extensively train only the most qualified instructors who have not only scored in the top 2% of all LSAT test-takers, but who also have years of distinguished teaching experience.

From critically evaluating logical reasoning passages and drawing well-supported conclusions, to applying effective diagramming techniques and identifying structural flaws and errors in arguments, our instructors focus on teaching you the critical skills you need to master the LSAT.

At the end of each and every LSAT prep course, our students are asked to evaluate and review our teaching staff. They tell us that they find our course instructors approachable, highly knowledgeable, and able to present difficult material in a dynamic, useful, and creative manner which facilitates learning and understanding. Read comments from some of our past LSAT test prep students.

Free Repeat Policy

All of our LSAT test preparation courses include a no hassle free repeat policy which allows students to repeat the entire course for a second time, free of charge, within one year of their original course start date.

Once you have taken any of our LSAT courses, you may repeat that course, free of charge, at any time for any reason within the next 12 months.

In order to ensure a low student-to-instructor ratio, we ask free repeat students to contact us in advance to reserve their place in the upcoming LSAT test prep class. Free repeat students are asked to bring their original course materials and valid ID to class.
