The LSAT Scoring Scale and Your Percentile

The Scoring Scale and Your Percentile

Let me preface this post with an explanation of my intent. I think when almost everyone approaches their LSAT administration there are moments when scores occasionally plateau, and performance feels stagnant.  As a result, and understandably, motivation can quickly vanish. This is apparent in the mid-ranges as students creep their way through the 140s and 150s, grinding for every point. People starting out and generally scoring lower find that every day brings new revelations and scores improve quickly. Whereas, test-takers in the upper ranges (160s and beyond) are naturally motivated by the … [Read more...]

The Scale is Loose at the TopThe scale is fairly loose at the upper end. 67 out of 76, or -9, for a 170 is the 4-section equivalent of missing 12. That’s … [Read more...]

How Hard is the LSAT?

How Hard is the LSAT?

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is, "How hard is the LSAT?" Most students have heard the test is difficult, but unless they've taken an LSAT already, they don't have a good idea of whether the test really is hard, or whether it's just like any other college test.

Which LSAT Has the Toughest Curve?

"Everyone and their mother takes the test in September," a student recently told me. "I think I'm gonna sit that one out." Why, I asked? Is it all the mothers? He looked confused. No, his mother wasn't actually taking the test with him (duh!), but the September administration is so popular that he was afraid the curve would be much tougher. That, and all the test-centers in New York were already booked up, so he'd have to drive up to Connecticut (Canada?), and you don't do that unless you have a pony or have a morbid curiosity about poutine.Fine, I said. All valid points, except for one: … [Read more...]
