Exam on which Elle Woods scored 179 in “Legally Blonde,” for short

LSAT

This standardized test is required for admission to most U.S. law schools and includes sections like Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension.

This clue refers to the LSAT, the Law School Admission Test, which Elle Woods famously aces in the movie Legally Blonde—scoring a near-perfect 179. The "for short" hint signals the answer is an abbreviation, and the LSAT is the standardized exam law school applicants take. The reference ties directly to the film’s plot, where Elle’s high score helps her get into Harvard Law.
