Test Prep News: LSAT requirement to be retained
ABA votes to retain requirement of “valid and reliable admissions test” (usually #LSAT ) americanbar.org/content/dam/ab… to accredit #lawschools
— LSAT PREParation (@LSATPreparation) March 21, 2013
Although the LSAT does not include math, we have noted that math students tend to to score higher on the LSAT. The Logic Games section on the LSAT is conceptually similar to the skills taught in math courses.
In 2011 the American Bar Association considered whether the LSAT should be required. There was some suggestion that the GRE could be used as a substitute for the LSAT.
The speculation recently came to an end. It appears that the status quo has been retained. For the moment either the LSAT or another valid admissions test is required for law school admissions.
Toronto LSAT courses are available in varying durations and formats.

Those applying to U.S. colleges and universities know that the SAT includes a heavy math component. The math tested on the SAT includes a number of different formats and concepts.
SAT math tutoring and SAT prep classes are readily available in Toronto.
In any case, change is on the horizon. What the new SAT will look like is anybody’s guess.
Study math! Score higher on LSAT GMAT and GRE
Those who are considering law school, an MBA or graduate school will be required to take one or more of the LSAT, GMAT or GRE. You can wait until test time to prepare or you can study math along the way. Although math is not on the LSAT in the sense of being tested directly, is is on the GMAT, GRE and SAT (for those attending U.S. colleges).
Those who study math are more likely to achieve higher #LSAT #GMAT and #GRE test scores masteringthelsat.com/2011/08/pre-ls…

Is there math on the LSAT?

Strictly speaking there is no math on the LSAT. But, those who do well in math will do well on the LSAT. LSAT Logic games tests many of the skills that are important for doing well in math. The LSAT does require you to perform basic deductive reasoning which is at the heart of math. Maybe a good math review would be good “mind training” for the LSAT. Interestingly, the PATI (test for Toronto Police Force) contains both math and syllogisms questions. The analytical reasoning Peel Police Test, like LSAT Logic Games, tests deductive reasoning.

A parent I know went to an information session about math at his kid’s school. After listening to the visiting curriculum expert explain how important it was for students to “understand” the concepts, he asked: “So, how important is it for them to learn the times tables?” The expert hemmed and hawed and wouldn’t give an answer.
