UPDATE: The curve for the October 2011 LSAT: PrepTest 64 is now available.***
The "curve" on the October 2010 exam was pretty generous. It allowed 12 incorrect answers to get a 170. (The average for September/October exams in recent years was only 10.25 incorrect answers).
The below chart contains recent data regarding the number of questions you could get wrong on recent exams and still achieve a particular scaled score (out of 180):
This continues the trend of relatively generous curves in the most recent exams.
(See what it's taken to get an LSAT score of 160 or 170 on every released LSAT PrepTest.)
Come back after you take the LSAT and post your curve predictions in the comments!

Took Saturday's test, thought it was middle of the road - not too hard and not a cakewalk. My prediction coming out of testing center was -10 for 170, but having heard other folks' difficulties with the LG, as well as the trend presented above I'm going to modify that to -11 or -12.
ReplyDeletelg were so HARD. i am really hoping for a big curve.
ReplyDeleteSo, let's just say that after finishing my test on the East Coast, I was hoping that people in Hawaii and California were having as much trouble with the logic games as I did. I spoke to a girl who also took the test that day who usually aces LG, and she couldn't figure out the bicycle game either...it was a "day 1, day2" game, which wouldn't have been hard if we had 60 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for a "miss 15 = 170" curve! ;)
