Takeaways for prep planning
- LSAT India is the most analytical / least content-heavy law entrance in India. No GK, no current affairs, no legal aptitude — pure reasoning + reading.
- Logic puzzles (Analytical Reasoning) make or break the score. Daily 1-2 hrs of grid-puzzle practice (LSAT US prep books work) is the standard.
- No negative marking means every question should be attempted — even guesses help.
