GENERAL DIRECTIONS
The Philippine Law School Admission Test consists of four
subtests. Each subtest
contains multiple-choice items.
For each item, select your answer from the options given. On your
answer sheet, shade
the circle marked with the letter of your chosen answer. For
example, if your answer to
an item is option C, then completely shade the circle marked C as
shown below. Make
sure your mark on the circle is dark. Avoid incorrect shading of
circles as they may not
be recognized as an answer.
Make sure you are marking the answer columns corresponding to
the item number you
are on. Mark only one answer for each item. If you want to
change your answer, erase
the first answer completely. Incomplete erasures will be
interpreted as another answer
thereby producing “multiple answers.” Items with multiple answers
are automatically
considered wrong.
Do not write anything on this test booklet. Use the blank pages of
your answer sheet for
your scratch work.
Follow carefully the specific directions for each subtest or section.
When you finish a
subtest, proceed to the next until you have completed the entire
test.
DO NOT TURN THIS PAGE UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.
