@ Anyone with adequate mental faculties can do well on this exam, some will just need more help than others. Because this help is not equally accessible to everyone means there is discrimination in play.

Pacifico, your use of the term discrimination in this context is expansive and poorly applied. Technically, Law Schools and the LSAT discriminates on the basis of merit. Discrimination is only negative when irrelevant factors like race, gender, and social status, gets in the way of this evaluation but the fact that multiple circumstances and conditions are tied to these things which may or may not give you a boost is out of the scope of the LSAT exam. There are many circumstances aside from the big 3 mentioned above which can incidentally and unfairly give you an advantage over other people and the LSAT does its best to control for the most prominent but of course it can't be absolutely perfect. Nor is it unrealistic or next to impossible to allay these obstacles tbh because come on, there are far worse and more difficult things in life to deal with than to set some time and money aside to study for the LSAT exam. You're setting this up as if having adequate mental faculties is sufficient to doing well on the exam and the fact that this is not always the case for people is a clear indication of some form of discrimination but the fact of the matter is the LSAT like every standardized exam distributes its scoring system around how well you do relative to others so clearly, even if your threshold of some utopian idealized non-discrimination is met, the bar would only be set even higher so that, for example, a 160 would come to be equivalent to a 150, etc.

@ If you had five years and plenty of money to take every prep course in existence you could still end up with a 140, and if you didn't you could still end up with a 180. But given an adequate sample, the evidence bears out that the former group will outperform the latter on average. That is discriminatory, plain and simple.

Isn't this just the case with everything in life? If you have more time to prepare for something then you're more likely to do better than others but is that plain and simple discrimination?
