Analytical Reasoning: The questions contained in this section will measure the ability of a candidate to understand a structure of relationships and to draw logical conclusions about that structure. The candidate will be asked to reason deductively from a set of statements and rules or principles that describe relationships among persons, things, or events. Analytical Reasoning questions reflect the kinds of complex analyses that a law student performs in the course of legal problem solving.
Logical Reasoning: The questions contained in this section assess the ability to analyse, critically evaluate, and complete arguments as they occur in ordinary language. Each Logical Reasoning question requires the candidate to read and comprehend a short passage, then answer a question about it. The questions are designed to assess a wide range of skills involved in thinking critically, with an emphasis on skills that are central to legal reasoning. These skills include drawing well-supported conclusions, reasoning by analogy, determining how additional evidence affects an argument, applying principles or rules, and identifying argument flaws.

There will be a total of 92-100 questions. The candidates will be provided with a duration of two hours and 20 minutes to finish th exam.
