LASC will no longer conduct LSAT India as a result of their business decision. The entrance exam has been discontinued.
As per the previous year's LSAT India exam pattern, multiple-choice questions from Analytical Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Reading Comprehension were asked in the LSAT India exam. The test was conducted in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode and its duration was 2 hours and 20 minutes or 140 minutes. Check out the LSAT India exam pattern in detail on this page.
Â
Q: Â What are the main subjects for the LSAT India question paper?
The main subjects in LSAT India are Reading Comprehension, Logical Reasoning and, Analytical Reasoning. There will be a total of 22-23 questions from each subjects on the LSAT India question paper. The total number of questions in the LSAT India question paper is 92. Candidates will gain 1 mark on answering each question. No mark will be deducted if candidates give wrong answer to a question. Following this mentioned marking scheme, the LSAT India score is calculated in a percentile band of 420-480. The lowest score in this band is 420. However, the highest score in the band is 480.
Q: Â Which is more difficult, LSAT India or CLAT?
CLAT is more difficult than LSAT India because of the time constraint. Candidates have only two hours to solve 150 questions in the exam. However, the time limit to solve 92 questions in the LSAT India exam is 2 hours and 20 minutes. Thus, it is difficult for candidates to complete all questions in the CLAT exam within such a short time limit. Moreover, the CLAT question paper includes questions from Current Affairs and General Knowledge. However, the LSAT India question paper does not include questions on Current Affairs and General Knowledge. Consequently, the LSAT India is comparatively easy because of its question paper pattern.
Q: Â What is the meaning of scaled score in relation to the LSAT India exam?
A scaled score in the context of LSAT India refers to the number of questions a candidate answers correctly. It represents the raw or estimated score achieved in the exam. The scaled score is measured on a scale from 420 to 480, reflecting the candidate's aptitude for studying law.
Due to variations across different versions of the LSAT India test administered at different times, the scaled score is not used to directly compare candidates' performances. Instead, it is converted into a percentile rank. However, achieving a certain percentile rank does not guarantee admission to a preferred college. Admission based on LSAT India depends on the specific percentile each college accepts.
Q: Â Which is the most difficult section of the LSAT India exam?
The difficulty level of each section of the LSAT India exam changes every day. Based on the pattern of the question papers of the ISAT India exam (question papers of previous years), it has been observed that the Analytical Reasoning is the most difficult section of the question paper of the LSAT India exam because questions in this section are lengthy. Candidates need more time and reasoning ability to find relationships between situations, objects, or scenarios to answer questions in this section of the exam. Thus, the requirements of more time and reasoning ability to solve questions in the Analytical Reasoning section of the LSAT India exam make it the toughest section. The easiest section in the LSAT India examination is Reading Comprehension because it requires a good understanding of the English language to crack this section of the exam.
