I think the LSAT is a pretty good... well whatever it is.
It has the salient quality of being almost completely unambiguous. Out of 1000+ of LSAT questions I saw when studying for the test, I found maybe half a dozen that didn't have one unambiguously correct answer and four unambiguously incorrect answers.
Of course, it assumes a level of familiarity with formal logic and English grammar/vocabulary.
Yes, they're surprisingly good at it. I've taken and taught other standardized tests, and often find them frustrating or boring.
I once found an LSAT question I considered ambiguous. I sent in a complaint to the LSAC. They replied with a three page letter that convinced me I was incorrect.
