1Taking the June 2007 Test Under Simulated LSAT ConditionsOne important way to prepare for the LSAT is to simulatethe day of the test by taking a practice test under actual timeconstraints. Taking a practice test under timed conditionshelps you to estimate the amount of time you can afford tospend on each question in a section and to determine thequestion types on which you may need additional practice.Since the LSAT is a timed test, it is important to useyour allotted time wisely. During the test, you may workonly on the section designated by the test supervisor. Youcannot devote extra time to a difficult section and makeup that time on a section you find easier. In pacingyourself, and checking your answers, you should think ofeach section of the test as a separate minitest.Be sure that you answer every question on the test.When you do not know the correct answer to a question,first eliminate the responses that you know are incorrect,then make your best guess among the remaining choices.Do not be afraid to guess as there is no penalty forincorrect answers.When you take the practice test that follows, abide by allthe requirements specified in the directions and keepstrictly within the specified time limits. Work without arest period. When you take an actual test you will haveonly a short break—usually 10–15 minutes—afterSECTION III. When taken under conditions as much likeactual testing conditions as possible (see Day of the Test,at http://www.LSAC.org/JD/LSAT/day-of-test.asp), thepractice test provides very useful preparation for takingthe LSAT.Official directions for the four multiple-choice sectionsand the writing sample are included in this practice testso that you can approximate actual testing conditions asyou practice. To take the test:IIIISet a timer for 35 minutes. Answer all the questions inSECTION I. Stop working on that section when the 35minutes have elapsed.Repeat, allowing yourself 35 minutes each for sectionsII, III, and IV.Set the timer again for 35 minutes, then prepare yourresponse to the writing sample at the end of this test.Refer to “Computing Your Score” on page 38 in thisbook for instruction on evaluating your performance.An answer key is provided for this purpose.How This Practice Test Differs From an Actual LSATThis practice test is made up of the scored sections from theactual disclosed LSAT administered in June 2007 as well asthe writing sample topic. However, it does not contain theextra, variable section that is used to pretest new test itemsof one of the three multiple-choice question types. The threemultiple-choice question types may be in a different orderin an actual LSAT than in this practice test. This is becausethe order of these question types is intentionally varied foreach administration of the test. The actual test containssection headers at the top of each page that are not includedin this practice test.The Writing SampleThe writing sample is not scored but is used by law schooladmission personnel to assess writing skill. Your writingsample is copied and sent to law schools to which youdirect your LSAT score. Some writing sample prompts,or variations of them, may be given at more than oneLSAT administration.The time allotted for the writing sample is 35 minutes,with two pages of writing space.Scratch paper is provided for use during the writingsample portion of the test only. Scratch paper cannot beused in other sections of the LSAT.Law School Admission Council
