How Did You Score On Your LSAT Compared With Avg. PTs Forum

[balzern]

So was your score at, bellow, or above your avg?

Avg score range:
Actual LSAT

I am just curious

[CmonSD]

I scored 1 pt less than my highest PT. Re-taking though.

First time taking LSAT was minus 5-10 points.

Second time was plus 3-5 points.

hmm thats odd I heard that people usually get +/- their avg. by 1-2 points

Nope, it's quite common to see a 5 point difference in the negative direction.

I guess I am just asking if MOST people saw a huge differnce or was it pretty consistant...

-5 from my PT average. Hoping for a better turnout this time!

I would say most people see a statistically significant difference. Especially on your first attempt.

I would say most people see a statistically significant difference. Especially on your first attempt.

This being so, would you say you recommend most people take a second LSAT? I am planning on taking one and exactly one, barring any kind of freak illness, etc.

I got about +2 from my recent PT average, around +3 from my overall average (this was the Feb test).

No, take one. If you only have to take once take once. Just prep enough.

First time: -3

Second time (ceased taking proper practice tests after 1st LSAT but continued to grind): +3

If only mine was common.. -10 in negative direction.

There are other similar polls, I think one is done every cycle.

Unfortunately, this is credited, even with a relatively small sample size. I hope I'm not one of these people.

I think the OP is saying: how different was your PT avg from your actual score

PT avg=167-168
actual=170

+2/3

(I just added this post bc it seems as if a lot of members are turning the question into something else)

This.

[slider]

My actual score was 3-5 points below my average. It was annoying but I didn't feel it justified a retake.

[pekkle]

Avg: 169 with a high of 173
Real: 168

[balzern]

Avg: 169 with a high of 173

still that is reasonable! one bellow your avg isn't bad!

We know what you are asking, we're not retarded.

I'm a -5 from pt.

I wan this more than anything in the world. That's the average I had, including the score I had a month before test (a 163). I got so much better throughout.
