GMAT vs. LSAT

Post by lakers3peat » Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:10 am

Do they use the same materials?


I cut out some questions and forgot which prep test they were from so I googled a few sentences (i.e. "A major tenet in neurosciences") and found many hits to GMAT message boards. This holds true for RC and LR questions... Anybody know ?

GMAC (the GMAT-makers) doesn't release that many GMAT questions (as compared to the LSAT).

For this reason, many of those prepping for the GMAT use old LSAT questions for their prep.

The GMAT and LSAT don't use the same actual questions, but there are many question-types on the GMAT similar to question types on the LSAT. Both exams have Reading Comp, and the GMAT's Critical Reasoning section is similar to the LSAT's Logical Reasoning section.
