And yes, I would strongly prefer a lawyer who scored highly on his LSAT over one who scored poorly.

Same with ACT/SAT. I'd be more likely to hire someone who scored in the top 10 percentile. I've seen recent college graduates include it on their resume for that reason (I did, and it helped me land a 6-figure job at a Fortune 500 company straight out of college... although my scores were 99th percentile).

                         Indeed. That was my point in a reply below... - zounami MU - 5/23 14:12:21
          just a Boomer rant - pickle MU - 5/23 13:05:29
          it's a standardized test that measures how competent a - zounami MU - 5/23 12:59:21
               The test doesn’t determine how good of a lawyer - TigerMatt STL - 5/23 13:01:02
                    it's widely believed to have a strong correlation with - zounami MU - 5/23 13:03:04
                         I don't believe that's correct. It has a strong correlation - *M* KC - 5/23 13:06:49
                              why do you think law schools care so much about LSAT?... - zounami MU - 5/23 13:10:28
                                   LSAT doesn’t test legal knowledge nor does it test debate - TigerMatt STL - 5/23 13:26:32
                                        it tests the skillsets that make a good attorney, including - zounami MU - 5/23 13:27:54
                                             Not completely. ACT/SAT does not determine success either. - TigerMatt STL - 5/23 13:30:27
                                                  There's a strong correlation though. *Again*, that's why - zounami MU - 5/23 13:32:46
                                                       Standardized tests are both good and bad - meatiger MU - 5/23 14:00:58
                                                       No. There is only a strong correlation to first year law - TigerMatt STL - 5/23 13:33:45
                                                            The only people who claim that are lawyers who scored poorly - zounami MU - 5/23 13:34:33
                                                                 So you ask your lawyer what his/her LSAT was? You - TigerMatt STL - 5/23 13:38:53
                                                                      The ABA made that change for DEI reasons... - zounami MU - 5/23 13:45:38
                                                                           The purpose of the LSAT is essentially to predict your first - TigerMatt STL - 5/23 14:11:39
                                                                                The purpose of the LSAT is for top law schools to select - zounami MU - 5/23 14:16:18
                                                                                     LSAT is designed as a predictor of first year grades. That - TigerMatt STL - 5/23 14:21:17
                                                                                          All standardized tests have the same purpose: To objectively - zounami MU - 5/23 14:24:22
                                                                           Are you in the Mensa Society too?(nm) - meatiger MU - 5/23 14:05:05
                                                                                no, but I took an official/proctored IQ test to get into a - zounami MU - 5/23 14:07:49

                                                                           Again, the article I cited shows that the LSAT does not - TigerMatt STL - 5/23 14:01:15
                                                                                Are you really this naive? The reason standardized test - zounami MU - 5/23 14:11:36
                                                                                     The naive one is you. You don’t even understand the purpose - TigerMatt STL - 5/23 14:13:24
                                                                                          The purpose is the same for every standardized test... - zounami MU - 5/23 14:20:51

                                             ...again, there's a reason it's the #1 admission criteria - zounami MU - 5/23 13:29:34
                                   Because it predicts law school grades, and they want - *M* KC - 5/23 13:12:25
