Focus: Writing Sample 　　This section Sample shows law schools how well you can argue for a position while breaking down the argument of an opponent.

　　◆◇The Writing Sample on the LSAT

　　The Writing Sample comes at the end of your test day experience. It is ungraded, but is sent to law schools along with your LSAT* score. On the test, you'll be given a scenario followed by two possible courses of action. You will have 30 minutes to make a written case that one is superior.

　　·30 minutes

　　·Unscored

　　·1 essay

　　·Task: choose between two alternatives and make a sound argument for your choice

　　·Tests ability to write a clear, persuasive argument

　　·Doesn't require outside knowledge

　　·Photocopied and sent to schools along with your score report

　　·Read and used to evaluate applications more frequently than is commonly thought

　　·Helps schools choose between relatively equal candidates and decide on borderline candidates

　　◆◇Eight Basic Principles

　　1.Use Scrap Paper to Plan Your Essay

　　The proctors give you scrap paper for a reason. Use it. Make yourself a rudimentary outline, listing the points you want to make in each paragraph. Ideally, you should know what you want to say and how you want to say it before you write.

　　2.Don't Obsess Over Your Choice

　　Nobody really cares which choice you make. What's important is how well you support the choice you make.

　　3.Get to the Point

　　The first sentence should immediately offer a solid endorsement of one choice over the other. Assume that the reader is already familiar with the situation; there's no need to waste time describing the scenario and the alternatives.

　　4.Use a Clear, Simple Format
