LNAT Freakout

A lot of people seem to be freaking out about their 2010 LNAT scores, which were released just yesterday. I just ran a Google search and there is a lot of panicking going on.

Example.

People are really confused about how they managed to do so well on practice exams (even in prep courses) and ended up with 9's on the actual test. Some people think this has to have been a computer mistake and want to complain and re-sit the test.

People, the LNAT is a terrible exam. The fact that I got a high score is meaningless because this exam is not a reliable predictor of performance in a law course. I wish it meant I was going to be really good, but I think it's just a bad exam and I think law departments are going to catch on soon enough. Cambridge stopped accepting the LNAT last year for precisely that reason.
