Trends Regarding Race/Ethnicity
- Caucasians comprised the largest percentage of test takers. The next two largest subgroups in terms of percentages were African American test takers and Asian/Pacific Islander test takers, respectively.
- Average LSAT scores were highest for Caucasian and Asian/Pacific Islander test takers. African American test takers and Puerto Rican test takers had the lowest mean LSAT scores.
- The percentage of test takers who did not indicate their race/ethnicity was close to 1% for the 2007–2008 through 2008–2009 testing years. The percentage greatly increased for the 2009–2010 (2.70%), and 2010–2011 (2.19%) testing years, but decreased to about 1.65% in the 2011–2012 testing year and to 1.56% in the 2012–2013 testing year. For 2013–2014, the percentage increased again to 3.35%, the highest number for all years covered in this report. The percentage of test takers not indicating their race/ethnicity (i.e., the Racial/Ethnic No Response subgroup) had the highest mean LSAT score for all testing years covered in this report.
