@Jdunni the law school just wants the highest number possible to boost their ranking, they don’t care
Recently, LSAC has mandated in-person testing, unless exempt. Even if exempt for virtual testing, you now have to have TWO cameras on you. Your laptop webcam, and a camera facing your computer. To anyone who knows someone that cheated .. we know exactly why this requirement came up specifically for virtual test takers
Leading to the question, how many were cheating? Well lets take a look at the hard evidence. Here are the facts:
The number of LSAT Applicant tests have increased by 30% 2022 to 2026
The LSAT Median (155-159) has increased similarly at 26% .. so far so good, normal distribution with added applicants.
An !!!!!! 85% !!!!! increase in (175-180) scorers. Nearly DOUBLING the top line.
Any addition, or subtraction, from applicants STATISTICALLY SHOULD result in the same distribution range. We know LSAT has been very fair with creating a system for their two LRs and one RCs to keep an even playing field for all applicants. Even with the dropping of logic games, an ALMOST DOUBLING on the top line would be unheard of.
My Thesis:
LSAC realized what was going on too late, and now the cheating scores are still applying for Law School slots. It will be many years before they are all taking in, and we see the medians drop back down. LSAC will not admit that is the reason for the rule change, as that will open up scrutiny on their monopoly for the test for entry to Law School.
I picked "C" but POE, but even "C" has the obvious flaw of "What if UNDER $100 has to be registered? Did she receive any of those?"
And i know DANG well that is a typical trap answer for any other question of this type.
My theroy is that A was picked by people who didnt know the question and think they are smart for getting it right
Part of the 39% that got it from process of elimination. I didn't know why it was right, but I knew the others were wrong.
"accepted part" nowhere does it say they were accepted. In fact, Plato even has to put up an argument to get people to say they are accepted
this was a level 5? I thought it was a level 1 at how shocking the answer was so obvious, I almost didnt pick it cuz it was so obvious. The astronomers were saying "there is no way the stars could be 10 million miles away cuz they cant move at great speeds" .. look at answers and theres D !
the question isnt hard when you diagram it, but it just takes 5 minutes to complete
I read the stimulus and immidiately saw "potatoes" and then "diet of foods" .. and i said "well what if rats arnt suppose to eat potatoes?" and behold answer A!
ill explain it easy for everyone:
Group A = the witnesses mentioned
Group B = all the other witnesses
Two rounds from Lawyers: lets assume 10 questions each
Get them to inaccurate testify: Group A = 7/10 correct , Group B = 3/10 correct
Get them to correct inaccuracies: Group A = 7/10 correct, Group B= 9/10 correct
Both conclusions pan out ... Group A is MORE RIGHT in round 1, and MORE WRONG in round 2.
Answer D> explains that group A is not as INFLUENCED by the lawyers (since they never changed their answers!)
I crossed out "D" cuz it said "CAN" .. just because you CAN doesnt mean SHE DOES
I was looking for the "just cuz we havnt found volcanos, doesnt mean there isnt any volcanos" in the answers .. but had no idea thats what A meant
#tutor Does the creator of that question know that "typical of chess games" = chess pieces can be arranged in many different ways?
We have to ASSUME he means the Chess Initial Position, but he could mean is the Mongredien Chess, or the Fianchetto Chess positions, since he does not specify.
PASSAGE: superior chess players have exceptional memory for configurations of chess pieces, but only if those configurations are typical of chess game!S! (pural).
D - says 'that superior chess players do not have exceptional memory for..."some kinds of arrangements of chess pieces"
PASSAGE: superior chess players have exceptional memory for configurations of chess pieces
Chess player HAS EXCEPTIONAL MEMORY for SOME KINDS OF ARRANGEMENTS OF CHESS since YOU CAN PUT THE PIECES IN DIFFERENT ORDERS ITS STILL CHESS!!!!
A> doesnt mean the patient will be harmed tho? C> points that they may be harmed if they have an alergic reaction
another question from sub <125 PTs that majority of people get wrong and the right answer is only picked 30% of the time
I got it right, but only by process of elimination:
-i needed a conclusion that told me to get rid of something
A. doesnt have it
B. that would work
C. that would work
D. not exactly, BEFORE they wasnt part of conclusion
E. not exactly, replace? no get rid of
Left with B/C - C. said "ALL", stimulus never said ALL, stimulus said MANY. cross off.
Pick B and pray.
I crossed out B cuz "they have very strong reason to believe" - the ministry may still believe they are accurate even after the pressure
I thought Miguel didnt have a say either way on social drinkers .. he just said the most important is the heavy drinkers ..
if it was used for religious purposes, or used for chores, its still used for different things than esthetics!?!
That's also assuming chores requires MORE polish than hunting.
i got that right, but that was NOT a level 2 question. 3 at minimum, probably 4.
I am taking my previous thread on this showing statistical performance in the top echelons, over the period in time where the LSAT became REMOTE optional. Highlighting major data inconsistencies, in the best case.
Now, as everyone saw, if you get clearance to take the test REMOTE, you will need a SECOND camera (your smart phone) pointed at your computer.
This is for everyone, but specifically for laptop users... Which means LSAC was also looking at the FISHY data and found out HOW (particularly laptop users) people were cheating on it. The SECOND CAMERA idea is not by accident, otherwise they would continue using the normal remote set up.
I am sure everyone here has access to google, and the depths of the internet, to figure out how to go about it with a laptop. Prometric isn't just used for LSAT, but also many college tests. Unfortunately, the damage is already done with a major increase in test takers over the last year alone, all with inflated LSAT scores.
***PRIOR POST***
Has anyone else looked at the recent data released on LSAT scores? There is something HIGHLY fishy going on with the increase in the top line... which happens to take place just after you are allowed to take the test remotely! cough cheating cough (didn't say it!)
Here are the facts:
The number of LSAT Applicant tests have increased by 30%
The LSAT Median (155-159) has increased similarly at 26% .. so far so good, normal distribution with added applicants.
The alarm shows up at the top end... an !!!!!! 85% !!!!! increase in (175-180) scorers. Nearly DOUBLING the top line.
My Thesis:
Any addition, or subtraction, from applicants STATISTICALLY SHOULD result in the same distribution range. We know LSAT has been very fair with creating a system for their two LRs and one RCs to keep an even playing field for all applicants. Even with the dropping of logic games, an ALMOST DOUBLING on the top line would be unheard of.
Anyone who has taken remote/online testing during college, knows about friend or two, that knows how to go around the Prometric system. Not that any of us here would do that of course. Could this also be LSAC blanket approving anyone with a doctors note for 1.5x time? Possibly. Could it be Prometric work arounds? possibly. Did we just get smarter applicants? Possibly.
But I will say one thing ... when there is smoke .. there is ...
I like how no tutors comment cuz it hurts their job outlook
