I've heard that besides the weight of each section, when scoring the test they take into consideration how others performed on the test that day, too. Is this true? If so, how much can this effect the score? Can it raise or lower your own score?

Yes, each LSAT is graded on a curve. So, what score you get depends on how everyone else does.
There won't be a huge swing. It might go up or down a few points at the very most. Likely just a 1 or 2 point swing for most testings. It's not really anything you can control, altho rumor is that the Feb testing is easier cuz less people take it (and those that do are taking it cuz they're in trouble of some sort so the competition isn't as good).

They do. So many right on one exam can be a higher score or lower score, depending on how others do. If you took practice tests, you could have seen how so many right on one might be a 170 while on another it could be a 165. I think it is only within a few points that it can move you up or down.
I'm at law school right now...and just make SURE it is what you want. Everything bad you hear is mostly true.

definite, it concerns how others did on the LSAT!!!!! many colleges seem at what percentile you fall into on the day you took the LSAT. So...if countless human beings were given a higher score than you probably did, you'll fall interior the decrease percentile which isn't good. yet remember, purely some faculties seem at this.

Yes. Pray the curve is not brutal.
