Studying for the LSAT: Myths vs. Facts
Sponsored Content
The next Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) is scheduled for September 24, 2016. Studying for the LSAT can be challenging, and there's a lot of misinformation out there. So, Law Street has teamed up with TestMax, the creator of leading test prep apps LSATMax and BarMax to debunk some common LSAT myths. Check them out in the slideshow below:
Here’s something we’ve heard people say before: the LSAT is curved, so you just need to beat the other people who take the test with you. But is that true?
The LSAT isn’t actually curved. Instead, it’s equated–essentially scored in a way that allows schools to safely compare students who took the test in September 2016 to students who took the test at other times, by making it equally hard to get the same score during each of those instances. So, your score isn’t affected by what other people get the way it would be if it was curved. What that means is that certain LSATs aren’t really “easier” than others—LSAC does its best to make sure that everyone has a fair shot.
