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!

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

    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.

    :-P

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