I disagree with the notion thatthere are "too many high scoring candidates." SAT questions are painstakingly tested before being used on a test, so the College Board knows exactly what percent of kids will get each question correct. The mean and deviation falls along a predictable curve, and if scores ever do creep up or down over time they recenter the test so that scores remain comparable accross time. Bottom line- there aren't more high scorers now than before.-Doug Groene

I did a very positive review of Priceton Review's Cracking the LSAT- the techniques are solid, and well presented. I had some issues with Powerscore, as some of the techniques are just flat-out wrong (like reading the stimulus before the question stem) and I don't love the question categories.

Test masters may be great, I don't know, but if your post were an LSAT argument, the flaw would be the unwarranted assumption that just because someone does well on the test themselves, it means they are able to teach others to do well. Give me a spectacular teacher who scored a 165 over a horrible teacher who scored a 175 any day.

Yes, absolutely- according to Georgetown's admissions site, the median stats for incoming students are 170 and 3.67. Your LSAT score is amazing, and your GPA, even if they use 3.3, is not very far off. Btw- I went to Georgetown and I am still buried in debt a decade later, so be careful and make sure it is worth it....

You shouldn't think of the LSAT like the SAT or ACT. Kids are expected to take those tests again and again- the system is built for it and everybody is happy to profit from it. Think of the LSAT more like the bar exam- plan to take it once and slay it.
