Law-school admissions preparation

About this practice suite

This suite prepares candidates for law-school admissions preparation selection in the legal, compliance, courts, and governance sector with 6 skill areas: logical reasoning, reading comprehension, critical thinking, verbal reasoning, deductive reasoning and attention and concentration. Every question was written by Novus editors for this suite — none are taken from live or leaked exams — and the full bank holds 52 scored questions across three modes, plus 8 reserve questions used to vary repeat attempts. Answer keys never ship to the browser: your answers are scored server-side, and results stay on your device.

Skills this suite practises

• Logical reasoning — Conditional logic, syllogisms, ordering, grouping, argument structure, and constraint problems.
• Reading comprehension — Understanding passages, instructions, policies, technical material, and workplace documents.
• Critical thinking — Evaluating evidence, assumptions, arguments, credibility, and alternative explanations.
• Verbal reasoning — Drawing conclusions from written information without relying on outside assumptions.
• Deductive reasoning — Applying stated rules and constraints to reach valid conclusions.
• Attention and concentration — Sustained focus, selective attention, and accuracy under time pressure.

Sample questions from the guided bank

Two of the 10 guided-practice questions, shown exactly as they appear in a session. Answers and explanations are not printed here — keys stay on the server — so open guided practice to answer them and see how you did.

1. Argument: “City Z’s night-bus ridership rose after free Wi-Fi was installed; therefore Wi-Fi caused the rise.” The inference is most vulnerable because it:

   • A. Uses a precise ridership count
   • B. Mentions City Z by name
   • C. Treats a temporal correlation as proof of causation without ruling out alternatives
   • D. Discusses public transit at all

2. Passage (Novus-original): “Archivists argue analog tape remains essential because some digital codecs become unreadable when vendors discontinue players, whereas tape needs only a working transport and documented format notes.” The archivists’ main point is that:

   • A. All digital files are already obsolete
   • B. Vendors should ban open formats
   • C. Tape never degrades
   • D. Analog tape can remain accessible with simpler, more controllable playback dependencies

Practice modes and timing

Guided practice is untimed-feeling and instructional; the mini-test is a short timed check; the full simulation mirrors a complete sitting. All three draw on separate question sets, so moving up a mode never repeats what you practised.
