My June 153 was originally the 53rd, but then later my LSAC account said 51st. I got a 163 on the August test and it shows 84th percentile. I was confused about this as well. I assumed it was due to the increase in test takers getting higher scores, but still it's frustrating that the percentile dropped that much. My professor for my undergrad law classes has his PhD, but also has a JD and practiced law for years and I asked him if he had any idea and he was confused as well.

Sign me up! I'm taking the test in January for the first time and feel completely unprepared. I may switch to the February test but I was wanting to take it while I'm on winter break. I need help staying on track while still handling my family responsibilities and 16-month-old son.
