Compared to someone who applies with your same numbers on the first day of September? Yep. Compared to yourself if you increase your LSAT by even a point because you took/re-took in December? Nope.We'reAllGonnaMakeIt wrote:So if I take the December LSAT to apply this year, I'm already at a disadvantage?elterrible78 wrote:It depends a lot on the school.

Do your chances of getting $$$ increase if you apply early on as well?elterrible78 wrote: Compared to someone who applies with your same numbers on the first day of September? Yep. Compared to yourself if you increase your LSAT by even a point because you took/re-took in December? Nope.
Because of the LSN data, it's really tough to say. Just eyeballing it, though, it doesn't seem to make any difference at all.ManoftheHour wrote:Do your chances of getting $$$ increase if you apply early on as well?elterrible78 wrote: Compared to someone who applies with your same numbers on the first day of September?

Just wondering because I feel like schools get desperate at the end and start showering people on the fence with money.
Is there a curve on the LSAT. Like is it easier in October than December?elterrible78 wrote:Compared to someone who applies with your same numbers on the first day of September? Yep.

This would defeat the purpose of a standardized admissions test.
Incorrect. Any given LSAT may indeed be more difficult than another. That's why raw scores equate (technical term) to different scaled scores on different exams.superdingle2000 wrote:We'reAllGonnaMakeIt wrote:
