Chances of a lenient Dec curve?
What are the chances we get a -13 curve next week? B/c I just took PT48, and had a raw score of 92 for a 169! If some shit like that happens next week, I'm turning LSAC into Columbine. (Sorry in advance if that reference was inappropiate)

December curves have been the most lenient in the past, on average. However, -13 is pretty unusual if I recall. I think -12 is pretty reasonable, though.

It's impossible for any of us to predict the curve. Please avoid shooting up your test center.

Re: Chances of a lenient Dec curve?
If the 59-61 tests are indicative of the new LSAT trend then a -13 curve seems quite reasonable. I'm going to speculate and say that the December LSAT will feature at least a -12 curve based on overall LSAT tendencies and current LSAT trends.

I'm hoping for a -13 or -14....

and respect for the dozens of people who lost their lives at too early an age. maybe you should change your statement to something fictitious like I'm going rambo on LSAC. it's a lot less offensive & doesn't make you look like an inconsiderate prick.

You're right. I used it more in reference to the Game song, but I see where you're coming from. Filter on.

How well have you scored on recent PTs? Many will say while the curve has been more generous, the questions on recent tests have more than compensated.

Re: Chances of a lenient Dec curve?
In the end, all tests are of roughly equal difficulty. It is LSAC's job, after all, to make sure that no test is unfairly harder or easier than others.
That being said, I do believe difficult tests with lenient curves are slightly preferable to easy with tight curves.

+1. My performance rarely, if ever, correlates with the supposed difficulty of a test, so a lenient curve is pretty much best bet.

Re: Chances of a lenient Dec curve?
likewise; regardless of the curve, there have been more than one occassion where my raw scores are identical on PTs. So I am shooting for a VERY generous curve and a LG exp.........chip3341 wrote:kpuc wrote:In the end, all tests are of roughly equal difficulty.

On a side not, anybody find the recent test easier? I had a lot more success with PT 55-61 than the ones before (although I have taken 59-61 before when practicing for the October LSAT).
GL tomorrow everyone!

IMO, LG on recent tests = a lot easier. RC = a bit harder. LR = about the same.

-14 again please. Maybe -15, one up last year. Floods of 170+ scores...

Re: Chances of a lenient Dec curve?
a -15 curve doesn't mean there will be more 170+ scores! There would be a reason why it was -15
Good luck tomorrow guys!
