What is LSAT Argumentative Writing?

LSAT Argumentative Writing is a short essay you complete online, separate from test day. It is not scored and does not affect your 120 to 180 score. Law schools receive it with your application file. First-time test takers must have an approved writing sample on file before LSAC releases their score, and you can complete it up to one year after your test date.
