How is the test administered?

1. What is it? Law schools have used the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) as part of the admission process since 1948. It tests your critical reading and analytical thinking skills as a measure of how you will respond to training in law.

The Long-term NAEP does not change from year to year because its purpose is to show trends spanning the 30 years of the program; thus, questions on this test are the same every year it is administered. State NAEP tests are given to samples of students within participating states. The sample size is 2,500 students per subject per grade. Although the test is paid for with federal funds, states pick up the extra cost to train teachers and bring in additional
