LSATs administered down for first time since 2005-06

Not sure if this is the right forum, but...
I've been regularly checking LSAC's resources section to see how many took the Feb. LSAT, and it appears the numbers are finally posted: http://www.lsac.org/LSACResources/Data/ ... stered.asp.
Some observations:
It's the first year since 2005-06 that the number of LSATs administered has decreased compared to the previous year. There were 9.6% fewer LSATs administered this cycle than last year's record 171,500+. This is the largest percentage decline since 1995-96 (-10.7%). The October test's decline is tied for the largest percentage drop for that month's test (-10.5%) since 1987-88. The Dec. LSAT saw a record percentage drop, year over year (-16.5%).
Still, this year LSAC administered the second-most LSATs (155,050) since they started tracking the stat in 1987-88.
