it depends on a number of things i think. are all the new takers applying; is the increase proportional across the score bands; are law schools going to keep class sizes low and try to increase medians, or will they increase class sizes in hopes of increasing tuition. these are a few i can think of. the numbers so far are still way down from a few years ago, yeah. they seem to be rebounding to about 2013-2014 numbers, if not a little less. but if more people apply this cycle should be more competitive than the last for at least some applicants. but by how much and for whom remains unclear

June first-time test takers up 10%, October up 7.4% (both up greater than all test-takers, percentage-wise).

I blogged on speculation of this which I won't link because it already is on the previous page. I think it will likely just mean a longer wait for some and more awkward freakouts to admission offices for a few.

There is a prep course proctoring pt76 for free in the DC area.
How come we don't have access to it yet?
