LSAT Performance With Regional, Gender, Racial and Ethnic, Repeater, and Disability Breakdowns: 2018-2019 Through 2022-2023 Testing Years (TR 24-01)

by Robert Kelly and James Morgan (LSAC)

The purpose of this report is to provide summary information about Law School Admission Test (LSAT) performance, including performance classified by country, United States region, gender, race and ethnicity, repeater status, and disability status. Information on LSAT performance is summarized for the 5 testing years from 2018-2019 through 2022-2023.

The reader should bear in mind that these test takers chose to take the LSAT themselves and were not randomly chosen to be tested. Test takers voluntarily chose whether to respond to region, gender, and race and ethnicity questions, and they decided how they would respond. As a result, differences in LSAT performance across regional, gender, or race and ethnicity subgroups only apply to those who chose to take the LSAT and identified themselves as belonging to those subgroups.

Summary of 2017, 2018, and 2019 LSAT Correlation Study...

Since the inception of the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) has sought to evaluate and ensure its validity for use in the law school admission process. As predictive validity is an important component in the overall evaluation of test validity, LSAC has carried out predictive validity studies, also called LSAT Correlation Studies, since the test was first administered.
