Shiksha spoke to Vivek Subramanian, the co-founder and Chief Instructor at ExamVictor, who analysed the question paper of LSAT India 2016 and shared the difficulty level of the exam paper in detail.  

Vivek was quoted as saying, “This year's LSAT was very similar to last year's in terms of overall difficulty level and pattern. There were no surprises like in CLAT 2016. As expected, Reading Comprehension was tough and there were some good analytical puzzles in the Logical Reasoning section. Since LSAT does not have negative marking, time was not a constraint for most students”.

The difficulty level of questions asked in the LSAT India exam English section was high. Confirming the same, Vivek shared, “LSAT has always had a very decent standard of English questions asked, which tends to be tougher than many 3-year and 5-year entrance exams in India. The reason for this could be LSAT's western heritage, where there is greater emphasis on communication skills in English”.

He further elaborated by saying, “The RC passages were challenging, but this has always been the case. For a student who is well-prepared, it would not have posed any additional burden”.

In previous years’ papers, the questions asked in the Logical Reasoning sections were also of high difficulty level. However, this year the Logical Reasoning (LR) section did not pose to be that difficult for aspirants.

“LSAT has always shone in terms of the challenging analytical puzzles they tend to ask in the LR section. Though the overall complexity of puzzles has come down from what it used to be about 6-8 years ago, the questions can still be very interesting and challenging for an under-prepared student. Solving the puzzles also takes time, but again with proper time management it would not have been an issue for students”, revealed Vivek.
