Summary

At most past LSAT administrations, the experimental (unscored) section appeared in the same place for nearly all test takers. The February 2007 test forms had experimentals in different sections, and the same happened with the June 2007 exam. Section 3 was experimental on most forms, but Section 2 was experimental on some. The June LSAT had a total of 100 scored questions—23 in Games, 25 in each Arguments section, and 27 in Reading Comprehension.

Games - 23 questions

Overall, test takers rated the June Games section as similar in difficulty to the December 2006 Games section. Most test takers classified the first game as easy and the next three as medium. Though there was no killer¹ game, figuring out the best setup took time on several of the games.

Game--Type--Test Takers Rankings
Game One--Order, one-to-one relationship between elements and spaces--easy
Game Two--Groups and Order, with distribution--medium-difficult
Game Three--Order, elements repeated--medium
Game Four--Groups, elements repeated and conditional² clues--medium

Arguments - 25 and 25 questions
Both scored Arguments sections had 25 questions. The overall distribution of questions was consistent with that of other recent exams. Test takers said that analyzing³ the arguments was straightforward⁴ and that knowing how to recognize and eliminate the common distractor answers helped them find the correct answers. Spotting logical flaws and reading carefully when down to two choices were crucial to success on the tougher questions.

Scored Reading Comprehension - 27 questions
The June test was the first exam to include a comparative passage in the scored Reading Comprehension section. More than two thirds of Princeton Review students said the comparative passage was about the same difficulty or easier than the rest of the RC section, and the majority felt very well prepared for this new twist on Reading Comprehension. They reported nothing out of the ordinary in the rest of the passages.

Passage--Topic--Test Takers Rankings
Passage One--Arts/Humanities--easy
Passage Two--Science (Comparative)--medium
Passage Three--Law--medium-difficult
Passage Four--Social Science--medium-difficult
