The second part of the LSAT is LSAT Argumentative Writing, a 50-minute, remotely proctored, on-demand writing exam.
LSAT Argumentative Writing is included in the LSAT to give law school candidates the opportunity to demonstrate their persuasive writing skills. Although LSAT Argumentative Writing samples don’t receive a score, they are considered by law school admission committees when reviewing individuals’ applications.
LSAT Argumentative Writing is administered using ProctorU’s secure proctoring software on your own computer. You are eligible to take LSAT Argumentative Writing starting eight (8) days prior to the LSAT test administration. Test takers are required to have a completed writing sample, either from the current test or from a previous LSAT administration, on file to see their test score or have scores released to law schools to which they are applying.
