Re: Number of LSAT Takers

The number of LSAT (Law School Admission Test) takers released by the LSAC or Law School Admission Council now suggests strongly that law schools are starting to draw themselves back up.

A total of 23,238 people took the test in June 2015, up 6.6% from the year before, according to new LSAC data. The figures represented the first growth in the June crop of test-takers since 2010 and extend an upswing that began in December when the numbers creep up by 0.8% and accelerated in February with a 4.4% increase.

The bump follows a 2014-2015 cycle in which the number of test-takers over the year nearly fall below 100,000, down 40% from a peak high of 171,514 six years ago.

Last year’s decrease, though, was smaller, with the fall-off concentrated in the first half of the cycle.

The latest applicant figures give law schools a bit less to cheer. The number of people that applied to law school is down 2% from 2014, according to LSAC.

And the total number of applications submitted is 4.2% below last year’s total. Still, that’s a minor drop compared to the hemorrhaging in the four years prior when applicant numbers fell by an average of close to 11%.
