The distribution of scores might be somewhat different but an average of 155ish vs 150ish seems to imply that the population of accommodated test takers as a whole only does slightly better.
LSAC published a study that had data up until 2012, the study compared average scores and those who had extra time did somewhat better (approximately 4-5 points).
@gstar2015 I have the book and its is OK, uses some different methods from 7sage but if 7sage is working out for you there is no need, otherwise its a decent pickup for under 10 dollars from amazon.
@runLSATrepeat I just Googled the issue and it looks like you could be correct! According to what I am reading (also non-official resource) you are actually competing against students from the previous 3 years instead of peers, interesting.
@ashley3460 this is pure speculation but I am assuming that if cancellations are not proportionally distributed between across all score bands, yes it will affect scaling. For example if all of cancellations (assuming that cancellation numbers are s…
@mpits001 are the nurse exams scaled though? LSAC takes much longer because your score has to be scaled against everyone else, they will need to determine cut offs, review questions for removal, rescale based on cancellations, factor in non-disclose…
I think this is sort of like weight training, in the beginning you tend to make a lot of improvement in the initial stages, like increasing the weight by 5 pounds each session; but after a while it may take you months to increase the weight even by …
If my score is above my goal, apply to reach schools, target schools and a few schools slightly below target school ranking. If score = goal, apply for target schools plus slightly lower ranked schools. If score below goal but higher than cut off, t…
I don't know what your schedule is like but one thing I've found useful is to do drill 1-2 sections at the end of the day (for me that means after work or class), definitely increased stamina AND focus (simple reading errors used to easily cost me 1…
I've found the same thing, saw a 7-8 point drop when I first started doing PTs in the 50s, but bounced back after 2-3 PTs. I have an 11 point spread between my best and worst PTs which are both in the 50s. The LGs have gotten vastly easier in my opi…
My worst LG performance was on 38, but so was my best LR, I think this is interesting for me because that is the inverse of my typical performance so I think on average the test was pretty fair and representative.
I have a 9 point spread between m…
Hey, I am really interested. I am already PTing 2 tests per week. Still have exams 57-74 untouched as well as most of those in the 40s. However I work full time and have grad school as well so I have pretty limited availability, but I think this wil…
Heh, enjoyed that. Although the Columbia med building is not exactly pretty plus its ~2 miles away from the main campus and feels isolated from the rest of Columbia.
Hi everyone, not meet up has happened yet as far as I know, I think everyone is on different schedule/stage right now, feel free to contact anyone directly if you want, otherwise I will just add your email to the mailing list and if anyone sends out…
