<p>So I know that it's a bit early to be worrying about this, but I'm a high school junior thinking of going to law school, so I'm a little worried about the LSAT, and I guess I'm mainly wondering if I should be; I do well on standardized tests, at least the ones I've taken so far (I got over 2300 on the SAT without studying if that gives an idea) so I'm hoping that maybe the LSAT won't be that bad, but I don't really know how it compares with other standardized tests. In your experiences, is the LSAT significantly different from the standardized tests you take in high school? Do people who do well on high school tests tend to do well on the LSAT, or does it take more effort/ability?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)</p>
<p>The LSAT is a bit different than many of the other standardized tests. I do think that you are way premature about it. If you really are worried,but an LSAt book and do one question or so per day as a fun , intellectual exercise. The problem is that, outside of reading comprehension, there is a whole system on solving logic games and logical reasoning quesitons that might take a while to first master before you do the questions.</p>
<p>Anyway, my advice is to enjoy college and don’t worry about this till your junior year.</p>
<p>Almost all school admissions tests, being descendants of intelligence tests, are pretty similar. People who do well on one tend to do well on the others. If you earned a 2300 on the SAT, you should be be able to get a very good (i.e., 170+) score on the LSAT if you prepare well.</p>
<p>I saw on another thread that somebody used this formula to figure out an approximate LSAT score: (CR+M)/21 + 100. I can’t vouch for its accuracy since I’m not even in college yet (I’m a graduating high school senior), but I’ve heard that a correlation exists between SAT and LSAT scores. People who did well on the SAT in high school also tend to do well on the LSAT and various other standardized tests in college.</p>
