Law School Admission Test to drop 'logic games' questions from exam
- clipsy 3y agoFantastic, just the other day I was thinking to myself that the legal system would really benefit from being even less logical.
- basementcat 3y agoThis is likely a consequence of a recent legal ruling in favor of blind test takers who may not be able to draw the diagrams needed to solve these problems.
- DangitBobby 3y agoYes, the article mentions this is likely a direct result of that ruling.
- DangitBobby 3y agoThe article talks about how they dropped a section called "analytical reasoning" and just extended the section called "logical reasoning" because they test the same skill. Administrators also say the test is just as hard as it was before, according to their numbers.
- catlover76 3y agoMakes a lot of sense. LSAT should be 2 sections of Reading Comp and 1 of Logical Reasoning, IMO (I scored a 177 on the LSAT and tutored it for a little while before law school)
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoFor anybody "not in the know," 177/180 is 99.8th percentile.
- tiahura 3y agoHadn’t thought about those in a long time. I suppose that sort of reasoning is most applicable to some of the code based classes (tax, payment systems). But even there, it seems to be a stretch.
