It won't be long before they lower the bar exam difficulty
It won't make a difference because the exam score is a measure of how well you did compared to other test takers. A 120 means 99.9% did better than you, a 150 means 50% did better than you and 50% did worse, and a 180 means 99.9% did worse than you.
Law schools are going to get around this by just not accepting LSAT scores (which some are already starting to do) and weighing all of the admissions decisions on soft application metrics, like whether they went to a HBCU or majored in feminist dance theory over say electrical engineering from Cal Tech.
They are changing the exam in a few years. From what I understand some subjects like secured transactions and family law are being taken off. Haven't bothered looking at the specifics because I'll be done several years before that takes effect
before they lower the difficulty- for some.
