5 sections?

[yesman2380]

Hi, this is a completely elementary question (I am completely new to the LSAT test, and want to confirm my understanding)

So there are 5 multiple choice, and 1 written sections = 6 total.
out of the 5 multiple choice, there will be 4 scored sections, which are the logical reasoning (x2. is it always 2 scored sections of this[?] i bought a couple of prep tests, and they seem to have 2 out of the 4), 1x analytical reasoning (this is the section that is known as the games right[?]), and 1x reading.
the 1 experimental section might be a either of the three question types, but the ENTIRE section is of the single question type [?]. and different students might encounter different types[?] during the same test sitting.

is my understanding (i guess my 4 questions are in mentioned with [?]) accurate? advanced thanks!

Your understanding is correct.

The four scored sections of the LSAT consist of two logical reasoning sections, one logic games section and one reading comprehension section.  The experimental section will be one of those section types and everyone does not get the same experimental section, meaning that some people will have LR, some will have LG and some will have an RC experimental section at the same administration.  

The four scored sections are the same for all people that take the same administration on the same date when they take a disclosed LSAT (you get a copy of the test when scores are released) under standard test conditions.

Yes, you've nailed and Jeffort clarified helpfully. This link might help explain how it works in more detail: http://www.powerscore.com/lsat/help/experimental.cfm

If you guys are studying for the LSAT right now, you should check out an lsat timer. I created it while studying for the LSAT last year and it really helped me to keep track of my pace.
It meets all LSAC guidelines so you can use it on the exam.
