Score inflation doomthread / cheer on the end of the LSAT

[icechicken]

TL;DR the LSAT-Flex has a wider bell curve which is throwing off the score percentiles in the 165+ and especially 170+ range

LSAC finally released score data for 2020 (link opens PDF; see page 4):

wow

50% increase in 170-174 and whopping 95% in 175-180.

so much for standardization of the test. any reason why they're not getting the curve right for Flex? i wonder how lsac defends their scoring policy in light of this data?

hopefully applications going up is a result of covid.

to make sure, this isn't intended explain the rise in high scorer percentage? the % change in test takers is 19.3% but the 170+ scorer increase is disproportionate.

iirc a few years ago there used to be ~30k test takers in every administration (during paper test days). this seems to show ~30K test takers over the whole of last year, but may be i missing something.

nah, i wasn't saying covid explains the score increases. idk why that happened, but i was just sad that applications were up bc it just means more ppl saddled with debt.

i thought Flex would make it harder to score higher, due to it being computer based. it was one of the reasons why i avoided it.

this doesn't look like any standardized test anymore. 175+ scorers are now over 1200 instead of ~600 last year.
