Next August, the LSAT will ditch its infamous “logic games” section. In its place, the test will include an additional logical reasoning section.
While the new logical reasoning section will test the same skills, the impetus for the change stems from a 2019 settlement that LSAC made with two blind test-takers. According to the test-takers, the analytical reasoning section violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, as they could not draw the diagrams that most test-takers use to work through the questions.
LSAC President, Kellye Testy, commented on the announcement to Reuters. "This decision might help some, and it hurts none," Testy said. "The skills that we assess are the same and the scoring is the same."
