![]() Easy enough to check when you compare the scores/percentiles of people who have taken both. ![]() And the GMAT is not an easy test.īy the way, the conversion tool that ETS makes to “convert” GRE scores into LSAT scores (concordance) is bonkers, wildly inflates the value of a given GRE score. (Your mileage may vary.) I’ve seen people get very high scores on the GMAT and not be able to exceed 165 on the LSAT, even with prep. In my opinion, it’s the hardest of the standardized tests. Other tests measure a wider range, so you have more wiggle room on those to excel. The LSAT measures a very narrow bandwidth of skills, so if that’s not in your sweet spot, it can kick your butt even if you’re a very smart person. It’s counterintuitive when your prior tests have caused you to care a lot about the optics of subscores. So better to max out points in the sections that are easier for you and then worry about the section that’s hardest for you. All points count towards the final score regardless of section. No law school admissions officer is going to see subscores, because they’re not broken out on the score report. ![]() That doesn’t make sense for the LSAT, though. So if Games is your hardest section, the instinct is to double down on practicing Games. We’re normed from those other tests to care about subscores. The final score doesn’t care where the points came from. Each point feeds into the LSAT’s overall score, regardless of section. So whether it’s Reading Comp or Games or whatever section, it’s just different wrapping paper, but the same underlying skills being tested. That’s because the makers of the LSAT think they’re measuring one thing, and one thing only: reasoning skills. The key thing to realize about the LSAT is that there are no subscores for the different sections, unlike SAT, GRE, GMAT, etc.
