The key difference is that there are no more Logic Games (aka Analytical Reasoning). In that section's place is another Logical Reasoning section.
| Section | Old LSAT (before Aug 2024) | New LSAT (starting Aug 2024) |
|---|---|---|
| Reading (RC), scored | 1 section | 1 section |
| Logic Games (LG), scored | 1 section | 0 sections |
| Logical Reasoning (LR), scored | 1 section | 2 sections |
| Random, unscored | 1 section of either RC, LG, or LR | 1 section of either RC or LR |
Note that for the new LSAT the scoring scale will remain the same: 120 to 180. All questions on the scored sections will still be worth 1 raw point each. Your total number of correct answers is your raw score, which will then be converted to your scaled score through a conversion table.
The old LSAT had a 35-minute essay where you pick one side of a "decision prompt" and defend your position.
Starting on the August 2024 LSAT, the Writing section will instead have a 50-minute essay where you stake a position in an ongoing "conversation of perspectives." This task is 15 minutes longer than the old task since there is now a fair amount of reading to do (about the various different perspectives in the conversation) and to analyze before writing the essay.
This essay is unscored and thus does not factor into your overall scaled score. However, it is a required section of the LSAT.
None! Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning will still feature the same types of questions that are already on the current LSAT. This means that in order to study for the new LSAT, the only difference is that you would skip over any Logic Games material. All the other content remains the same.
