Sandy,It’s cmmoon that law school applicants and lawyers have the view you express; that the LSAT isn’t particularly useful in predicting law school success. Despite this, there’s a good deal of empirical research the suggests the LSAT is actually the best measure. Nevertheless, many people continue to feel as you do.I think a couple of things might be at play here. First, at the risk of ruffling feathers, I think one has to note that most people who score below that top 1% on the LSAT have relatively poor memories of the test. It is, in most cases, the principle factor that stands between applicants and a better school. As such, years later it’s unlikely that these people would have a high opinion of the LSAT.But even if people’s memories of the test were entirely unbiased, I they might believe it isn’t a good predictor in the following case. If you score a 157 and your friend scores a 159, it would be unreasonable to predict, on that basis alone, that your friend would perform better in law school. When people go to law school, they’re almost always competing against people whose LSAT scores are with a few points of their own. Because these micro-differences don’t account for much, people might conclude the LSAT is worthless as a predictor. But imagine that someone with a 130 was placed in law school alongside someone with a 170. It’s almost inconceivable that the person with this drastically lower score could perform as well in law school. This lower score generally attaches to someone without a basic grasp of logical inference whereas the latter score requires that someone has a very good grasp. The person with the better score might be lazy or uninterested in law and thus perform badly, but nevertheless, this person possess a better developed faculty of logical inference than the lower scoring person- and that’s essentially what the LSAT is testing for.I think the LSAT might well have an exaggerated role in law school admissions, but a world without any such test wouldn’t be as attractive as some people think. Those people who scored 160′s might resent the advantages given to those who score higher, but they’d far more resent a scenario in which they couldn’t distinguish themselves from people who got 130s. Lastly, I agree with you that the question is ‘what would replace the LSAT?.’ Because what schools need in a test is differentiation among candidates, I suspect the answer is ‘something that looks almost the same and that serves an identical purpose.’
