Question

Darnell wishes to develop the essay by evaluating the claim in paragraph 3 that the GRE, in addition to the LSAT, would provide a more accurate representation of applicants' academic ability. Which choice most fairly points out the strengths and limitations of this claim? A. Most admissions committees will state that the GRE does not test the same skill set as the LSAT, so the scores from two different tests would not be an equal assessment of academic rigor and potential. In a recent survey from a top law school, however, 98 percent of law students who took the GRE ended the first semester with a higher grade point average than those who took the LSAT. B. Law schools should even consider eliminating the standardized test requirements on applications and instead focus on applicants' personal essays that state their intent for law school. Statistics from top law schools show that students who reported low test scores and lower grade point averages performed better in law school because they had more motivation to prove themselves academically. C. There are many students who do not do well on standardized tests because of the stress of having to pass a single exam. This, certainly, is unfair as it does not paint a true picture of a student's ability to be successful in law school. Offering an alternate test to make up for less-than-stellar scores on one test would lessen the pressure for many test takers. D. While options are great, many applicants argue that the application process is already expensive enough, so paying to take the LSAT and the GRE will only add to the costs of applying to law school. However, a nationwide report states that 56 percent of students retake the LSAT at least twice and 68 percent retake the GRE only once, so offering other options will allow for fewer retakes and less costs.
