But would you have expected an algorithm to score 90th percentile on the LSAT two years ago? Our expectations of what an algorithm can do are being upended in real time. I think it's worth taking a moment to try to understand what the implications of these changes will be.




Yes. Being very familiar with the LSAT and being familiar enough with ML’s capability for finding patterns in volumes of similar data, I absolutely would have.

These LLM’s are really exciting, but benchmarks like these exploit people’s misconceptions about both standardized tests and the technology.
