Answer Transferring

Transferring your answers from the test booklet to your answer sheet is one of
the most important tasks that you will perform on the LSAT. Our research
indicates that approximately 10% of all test takers make some type of
transcription error during a typical five section test. Since one question can
mean a difference of several percentile points, we strongly advise you to
follow one of the two approaches discussed below. The method you choose is
entirely dependent upon your personal preferences.

1. Logical Grouping. This method involves transferring several answer
choices at once, at logical break points throughout the test. For the
Reading Comprehension and Logic Games sections, transfer answer
choices after you complete the questions for each passage or game. For the
Logical Reasoning section, transfer answer choices after you complete
each two-page question group. This method generally allows for faster
transferring of answers, but some students find they are more likely to
make errors in their transcription.
2. Question By Question. As the name implies, this method involves filling in
the answer ovals on your answer sheet after you complete each individual
question. This method generally consumes more time than the Logical
Grouping method, but it usually produces a higher transfer accuracy rate.
If you use the Logical Grouping method and find yourself making errors,
use this method instead.
