The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) is conducting Law School Admission Test (LSAT) 2021 two times this year. The candidates have multiple opportunities to appear for the exam. The exam is going to be held on 14th June 2021. The conducting body has changed exam mode due to this pandemic covid-19.

With changing the exam mode, there is a change in exam pattern also. Here we are providing the exam pattern, number of questions, marking schemes and scholarship offered by Council to qualified candidates.
Previously one section was added in the question paper in January i.e. Variable Section. But the council has removed the "Variable section" from the question paper of LSAT 2021. The duration of the exam has been changed to 2 hours 20 minutes. The total number of questions in the exam paper is 92 and the sections are - Analytical Reasoning, Logical Reasoning (1), Logical Reasoning (2), and Reading Comprehension.
