i don't understand how LSAT scores rise, isn't it curved? or do they not adjust it to make it harder as scores increase? it's completely failing at its basic purpose of differentiating test takers. |

I don't know where all the impressive young people are, but they're not around me. From my hole in the ground I see a bunch of shit, pure shit.

Date: August 26th, 2026 1:18 PM Author: Exciting heaven keepsake machete Today: 170 = roughly 94.5th percentile, or the top 5.5% of LSAT scores. 2005: 170 LSAT was approximately the 97.4–97.5th percentile — roughly the top 2.5% of test takers.
A 170 in 2025 is roughly a 166 in 2005 terms. Makes sense. GW was 165 when I looked at it. |

Date: August 26th, 2026 5:59 PM Author: Obsidian tripping friendly grandma I applied as an elder zoomer with a 3.7 / 177 and got waitlist at all T14 I applied to which was almost all of them. Someone with my profile can not get admitted reliably and if you somehow get admitted you will pay sticker. Basically post-COVID there has been a race to the bottom on grading and schools give everyone a 3.9 now which makes sense as any school that doesn’t inflate relative to peers will just hurt the employment and grad school prospects of its students so they basically just have to ride the inflation wave.
