September LSAT

arina185

Hey guys,
I am taking the September LSAT and after reading a good number of people saying how the June LSAT was easy to moderate I am getting nervous. While my "theory" has not evidence to back it up whatsoever I am afraid the September LSAT will be much harder. Could there be any truth to it?

The curve normalizes each test so if your prep is on point then it really shouldn't matter. Now whether or not the difficulty plays to your strengths or not is impossible to know so don't worry about this and just keep prepping.

@Pacifico by far the best response I've seen for this famous question.

Each LSAT has a curve assigned to it that determines how many you can miss to achieve a certain score. This is how the test can be statistically reliable from administration to administration.

Some tests you can have a -8 and get a 170, others you can have a -12 and still get a 170.

So while a test might be consider more difficult, this isnt really the case due to the curve, as they test is designed to be consistent in scores.

This is also why averaging your most recent PTs is usually a fair prediction of your test day LSAT score.
