  26. Not so fast.  Fully 75% of the LSAT (the Law School Aptitude Test),
  27. which has pretty decent correlations, is comprised of items virtually
  28. identical to the logical reasoning and analytical "games" items
  29. in the GRE Analytical.  The LSAT consists of four scored sections -
  30. one reading comprehension, two logical reasoning sections, and
  31. one analytical section.  If you bombed the GRE Analytical Section,
  32. I hope you're not taking the LSAT any time soon.
