How hard is the LSAT? This is a question that we field on a pretty regular basis, but gauging LSAT difficulty can be... well, difficult. Most prospective LSAT students took the SAT (or its doppelganger, the ACT), and, in fact, that might be the only standardized test such a student has ever taken, making it seem like a reasonable yardstick by which to judge the LSAT.

So, the LSAT is what, like, twenty percent harder? Fifty percent? A gajillion percent? Well, the answer to that question is, like anything else worth doing in life, complicated. In fact, it might be easier to answer the general question, "How hard is the LSAT?" because the answer to that question is simply, "Super hard, bro."

However, we here at Blueprint are always up for a challenge (especially one like this where there's very little chance of loss of life or limb), so we made this helpful and pleasantly animated video starring LSAT guru Brett Donaldson, which will answer this very important question for you in under two minutes.

It's helpful to know exactly what is on the exam before gauging how hard the LSAT is in comparison to another exam. Not to give too much away here, but despite the tight relationships between the acronyms - LSAT is SAT with an L slapped on the front - these two exams are created and administered differently, and the skills tested by one are largely unrelated to those tested by the other.

Of course, the underlying hope/fear that lurks in the minds of those who ask this question is that they're likely to do as well/poorly as they did on the SAT. If you did well on the SAT, congrats! Some of those skills will help somewhat with the LSAT. And if you bombed the SAT, congrats! Most of the skills you need for the LSAT are different from those required for the SAT.

So, sit back and enjoy the dreamy Brett Donaldson as he answers that burning question you've harbored for so long.
