The LSAT without Logic Games: the August 2024 change explained
Since the August 2024 LSAT, the test has had no Analytical Reasoning section, better known as Logic Games. In its place is a second scored Logical Reasoning section. Here is what changed, what did not, and what it means for how you study.

What it means for your preparation
- Logical Reasoning now makes up roughly two thirds of your score, since it is two of the three scored sections. It deserves most of your study time.
- Older practice tests still work for Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. Skip their Logic Games sections, or treat them as optional logic practice.
- Old advice that “games are the most learnable section” no longer applies. Be wary of courses or books that still sell games-heavy plans.
- Practice in the current interface. Since August 2026 the test runs on a new interface, and LSAC has made all its Official LSAT PrepTests available in it on LawHub.
What did not change
- The 120 to 180 score scale.
- LSAT Argumentative Writing, which is still unscored and taken separately online.
- The number of sections (four) and their length (35 minutes).
