Might be a dumb question...

Do law schools look at your highest LSAT score or do they combine all of them together and look at the average?

"except maybe Yale" I feel like that line alone can yield its own search in LSAT forums lol. But yeah, @LSATcantwin is correct.

The tend to only care about the highest but other law schools aside from Yale (NYU, for example) say on their website that they consider all LSAT scores. It's obvious from apps on LSN that clearly they don't seem to care that much, but I suppose it's something to consider; e.g., don't take the LSAT cold and get a 140 LSAT score.

haha, your choice! also one thing to note is once your score is at or above the schools 75th percentile, your other scores will have even less of a value on your application. All the best!

I think you meant they tend to only care about the highest.
