Juris Education's experts analyze LSAT scores across 51 states in the US, offering valuable data for schools and students alike.
The leading law school admission firm conducted an in-depth analysis to discover the country’s top and lowest-scoring states at the LSAT
The District of Columbia leads the nation with an average LSAT score of 161.36. This is followed by Utah (159.34), Massachusetts (157.6), Colorado (157.53), and Oregon (157.28). Among reasons for these states to be the top performers were the presence of prestigious law schools in that state and high motivation drive amongst students to secure spots at these institutions.
The study also found out that LSAT takers from Alaska (133.73), Wyoming (137.03), and Louisiana (151.6) had the lowest scores. Factors like socio-economic conditions, lack of resources, and an absence of top law schools were pegged as the main contributing factors for this.
For instance, a look at the 10 highest LSAT averages shows that many of the states are home to at least one of the T14 law schools. These schools attract the brightest minds from across the country, and their presence alone is sufficient to inflate the local average. For example, California, the state with the most test-takers, ranks sixth with an average LSAT score of 158.9. It boasts legal heavyweights like Stanford Law, UC Berkeley Law, Cornell Law, and UCLA Law. Over 11% of California test-takers scored in the 170 and above range.
"The LSAT is a highly competitive exam that has already seen major changes this year, particularly eliminating the infamous logic games section. By providing this in-depth research and insights, our LSAT tutors aim to empower students to excel on the LSAT and equip them with the knowledge and confidence to secure admission to top law schools," said Calandra Almond, admissions expert at Juris Education and an attorney.
The study was instrumental in shedding light on the factors influencing LSAT performance and examining states where applicants consistently excel.
