Inflated LSAT scores regarding school median averages

LaFranca

Does anybody know when the inflated LSAT scores will drop for school median averages? I've been told they're from the LSAT Flex which ended back in August of 2021. I've seen some median LSAT averages go up 3-4 points for some of the top 25 schools.

I have this question too!

I'd imagine over the next couple of cycles scores should "deflate." High LSAT Flex scorers who decided not to enroll last cycle should matriculate over the next year or two.

With an impending recession looking likely and the test still being offered virtually until at least June 2023, however, it's hard to say how much scores will "deflate." Historically, law school application numbers go up during recessions (leading to an increase in high scorers) and it seems the virtual test may also lead to higher scores. So I believe the exact amount of "deflation" is anybody's guess.
