Past LSAT Explained/Method of Argument(LR)

Type It is mentioned as one possible reason for adopting a policy for which the author suggests an additional reason. Taking the highest score among multiple LSAT scores may relieve test anxiety for many law school applicants. As critics point out, however, it also encourages students to take the test multiple times, incurring unnecessary costs and time for test preparation. Yet, since the ABA statistics show that the highest score is the better predictor for law school performance than the average score, law schools should change their policy to consider the highest test score rather than the average. Type It is a claim that the author attempts to refute with counterarguments. The admissions officer argues that the average score of all LSAT taken is the best measure of the applicant's ability. This is clearly nonsense. Suppose we have one college senior who received a 160 and then a 172. Compare this person with another who received 166 twice. Can we say their abilities are equal? How about someone who got a 172 the first time and 160 the second time due to illness? People who have one score are usually do not take it again because they are satified with the score and often they believe it is the highest possible score. Type It is a hypothesis for which the teacher offers additional evidence. Type It is cited as an insufficient reason for elimination. Type It is cited as an objection that has been raised to the position the author is supporting.
