The ranking is derived rather than counted from LAT papers; the method is stated in full on this page.
How many Analytical and Logical Reasoning MCQs are on the LAT paper?
Analytical and Logical Reasoning is worth 15 MCQs on the LAT paper as set by Higher Education Commission, spread across 12 chapters. This page ranks all 12 of them by how many of those MCQs each chapter is worth.
Are these LAT Analytical and Logical Reasoning numbers counted from past papers?
No. No solved paper on TestUstad examines Analytical and Logical Reasoning, so nothing here is a count. The 15 Analytical and Logical Reasoning MCQs on the LAT paper are spread across the chapters in proportion to how much material each chapter carries in the syllabus. Treat it as a sensible study order and confirm against Higher Education Commission's own syllabus.
Should I skip the low-priority Analytical and Logical Reasoning chapters for LAT?
No. Every chapter in this table appears on the LAT paper, and LAT is decided by a handful of marks. A chapter marked Standard still costs you the marks you drop on it. Use this ranking to decide the order you study in and how long you spend on each chapter, not to cut chapters out.
Where can I practise these LAT Analytical and Logical Reasoning chapters?
Every chapter on this page links to its own free Analytical and Logical Reasoning MCQs on TestUstad, 2,435 questions across the 12 chapters LAT examines. Practice is free and unlimited with no account, and every question carries a written explanation of why the correct option is correct.
