LSAT Announces Changes to Test in June '07
The Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) will make two changes to the LSAT beginning with in June 2007:
1) A new question format will be added to the reading comprehension section. The new format, called 'comparative reading,' will present the test-taker with two short passages and ask questions about how the two passages relate to each other.
2) Argument prompts will no longer be used in the analytical writing section. All writing prompts will involve a decision. The writing section will continue to be unscored.
The LSAC also provided these results from a 2006 survey of law schools on how often the LSAT writing samples are used in making admissions decisions:
