December 2011 LSAT Curve: PrepTest 65

December 2011 LSAT Curve PrepTest 65Good luck to everyone taking the December 2011 LSAT!

Did you know that December exams tend to have most lenient curves?

The "curve" on the most recent December exams was very generous. The December 2009 and December 2010 LSATs each allowed you to have 14 incorrect answers but still get a 170. (The average for December exams in recent years prior was only 11.375 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):

    RC was ridiculous. Extremely dry topics didn't help either. - 13 would be awesome.

    RC was definitely difficult. What did you all think of the LG?

    I am very good at logic games. I have been consistently scoring above 95% on games (i.e. 1 or 2 questions wrong per section). I didn’t find the LG section for PT 65 very difficult. It was pretty standard.

    I thought the LG was a cake walk. Hopefully I scored most of the LR correctly, had to guess on 1 for each section. I expect RC to be my weakest (unless the 3rd section was scored and the 5th was experimental, which I doubt). Fingers crossed on a -12.
