Preptest Average versus Predicted Wrong

[dusya4]

Standard Bell Curve. 50% of the test takers need to score below 155 and 50% above.

Where do you get 155 as the median?

 

I don't know about the median but the Nationwide average score is 151-152.

The LSAT median is around 151-- 157 is actually around the 67th percentile, according to Powerscore.

That sounds counterintuitive.  Doesn't median mean 50th percentile?

157 was 72% from last December... If you have any more questions, I have most of the % memorized....  No I am not a HUGE loser, I am just obsessed with that test.  And its utter domination of me.

Negative.  YOUR domination of it.  Positive attitude here, folks.

I made poor use of a dash. It should read:

The LSAT median is around 151. 157 is actually around the 67th percentile, according to powerscore.

Well that seems very impossible when a 156 is the 68% percentile from last December.  Maybe powerscore should update their statistics to reflect recent trends.  If you still doubt this, PM me and I will send you a PDF file.  Thanks.

I think Powescore notes the actual percentiles of certain scores "float" from test to test, I certainly have no doubt of your information. I was more focussed on pointing out that the median is 151, not 155 or 157. No point in scaring people any more than we have to.

Agreed.
