How long is the LSAT Logic Games section?

The Analytical Reasoning section, commonly called Logic Games, is 35 minutes long. It traditionally contains four games with a total of roughly 22 to 24 questions, giving you a little under nine minutes per game on average.

How much time should I spend per game?

A common target is about eight minutes and forty-five seconds per game across four games. Stronger games take less so you can bank time for harder ones. This timer shows your average time remaining per question so you can rebalance on the fly.

Why practise with a strict timer?

Pacing is where most test takers lose points on Logic Games. Even people who solve every game correctly untimed can run out of time under pressure. Training with a 35-minute clock builds the instinct to move on and manage the whole section, not just one puzzle.

What does the pace feedback mean?

After you mark each completed question, the tool divides the time left by the questions left to give your average budget for what remains. If that number is falling below roughly one and a half minutes you are behind pace and should pick up speed or skip a hard question.

Does this timer save my progress?

No. It runs entirely in your browser for a single session and resets when you reload. It is a pacing trainer, not a score tracker, so use a separate sheet to log which questions you answered correctly.

The LSAT Analytical Reasoning section gives you exactly 35 minutes to work through a set of logic games, and time pressure is the single biggest reason capable test takers lose points there. This timer recreates the section clock so you can rehearse pacing under realistic conditions before the real exam.

How it works

The tool runs a strict 35-minute countdown, the official length of the section. You tell it how many questions you are attempting, then mark each one off as you finish. At every moment it divides the remaining time by the remaining questions to show your live budget: the average number of seconds you can still afford per unanswered question. This is the same arithmetic a disciplined test taker does in their head, automated so you can focus on the puzzles.

Pace feedback turns an abstract clock into an actionable number. If your average budget per remaining question is healthy you can slow down and check work; if it is shrinking you know to speed up or strategically skip the hardest game. Training this judgement is what separates an untimed solver from a strong timed scorer.

Tips and example

Aim to leave roughly the same time for each game, then adjust as you learn which game types you solve fastest. A good drill is to start the timer, attempt a real four-game section, and note the clock reading after each game. If you finish game one with 28 minutes left you are on a comfortable pace; if you have only 24 minutes left you have already overspent and should accelerate.
