    My score dropped about 5. PT’s Mid 150’s. High of 159. Official 149. Was very shocked! Felt screwed. Glad it wasn’t just me. Retaking in September or October. See ya, LG!

    I received a 156 despite PT'ing around 170. I felt like I got a 170-174 after the test. I personally think LSAC and/or Prometric made a mistake. I can't justify in my mind how I got a 156.

      @@UnpluggedPrep Thanks. I think I have a very good guess what happened: LSAC scored the version of the test that I took out of four rather than three scored sections. If you look at the raw score corresponding to the score I thought I got (67-68, meaning around a 171), and take that out of four scored sections for 100-101 raw score points as in pre-COVID LSATs, you get the scored I received on May 1st: 156. The version of the test I took is being reported on a Reddit thread as having a 15-20 point drop in what test takers expected. The version was taken on Saturday, at a Prometric testing facility, and had the sections: 2 LR: 1 scored (I think) with the squid shooting ink in the fish tank and one unscored, 1 LG with photographers as the final game, and the RC section with a passage about Frederick Douglass.

    I was scoring on my PTs between 163-167 and I scored a 165 on the April. Based on how hard I felt the test was compared to my PTs I predicted my score would be a 164-166 so it was right on.

    I was doing 150’s on practice and got a 148. The LSAT has a 2.5 point difference I did feel like I was prepared and expected a higher score based off the questions so we will see what happens

    I’m not familiar with the lsac system. Took once last November and registered on this june as my second time. I am wondering what should we expect to happen when the number of people taking lsat this June is double (compared to the average)
    Does it mean that it will be harder for people to score a higher grade or nothing extreme would happen?

    • @UnpluggedPrep
      @UnpluggedPrep  6 месяцев назад +1

      The number of test-takers doesn't necessarily mean anything extreme would happen except possibly an overloaded Prometric system. However, LSAC added an additional date to help with scheduling which should hopefully mitigate issues.

    I think the thing no one is addressing the one LG that so many test takers got all wrong. The last LG for one of the LG sections on April LSAT was honestly insane. I think that alone could account for a lot of people who tend to follow resources like this. I say this because it tends to be the case that LG is usually -0 thru -3 for people who do a lot of LSAT prep compared to the other sections.

      Nope. I had the easier logic games section (yachts and cameras). Finished with 8 minutes and was able to go back and check all questions I was slightly unsure of. It was people with this set of logic games that generally have had problems according to reddit.

    • @UnpluggedPrep
      @UnpluggedPrep  6 месяцев назад

      That could have affected some, but as another commenter pointed out, not everyone has the same LG (or LR or RC). LSAC uses multiple test forms for each administration.
