Best guess for the curve

gbanipal

Does anyone have an educated guess as to what the curve possibly could be?

How would anyone know that? Besides looking at historical trends (https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/help/correct_targeted.cfm) I'm not sure how anyone would be able to figure that out.

That is why I said "educated guess" and "possibly," historical trends I suppose might be somewhat of a reference point

TLS has a poll on this question. It seems like most people voted for somewhere between -9 (which would mean an easier than average test) and -11(which would mean a pretty average test).

I want to say -10 or -11. The LG was easy, RC extremely difficult, and some say the LR was moderate to hard , although I think it was relatively straightforward but moderately challenging..

I don't have a horse in this race, but I'd guess -11 I want my friends to have a better chance at that sexy 170!

I'm praying for ya'll. Maybe even a -12

Unfortunately the early word is that it's a -9 curve ???

Looks confirmed on TLS.

Hmm, I'm a bit new to all this. Can someone explain what this curve means? Is it referring to the maximum number of answers you can get wrong to achieve a 170 in any given LSAT (this is what I managed to gather from that PowerScore link). If this is the case, why 170? Just an easy benchmark to use?

My guess is -9.

Yes, just the amount you can get wrong and still get a 170.
