<p>A quick question:</p>
<p>What score range can I expect to fall into on the LSAT? </p>
<p>On my SAT, I studied for a few hours and, on my second test/time, I scored:
800 Math
710 Critical Reading
790 Writing</p>
<p>I know predicting LSAT scores is a fairly nebulous practice, but any insight would be appreciated. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>LSAT Score = (0.048)*(SAT Math+Verbal) + 100</p>
<p>(.048*1510)+100 = 172.48</p>
<p>How accurate is that formula, Blaze?</p>
<p>The version I saw had you adding 100.7 instead of 100, but that's a trivial discrepancy.</p>
<p>From what I've seen, this formula is usually accuarate within five points one way or the other, but that's a ten point spread, which is HUGE.</p>
<p>According to that formula, I'll get a 166 on the LSAT. I'm fine with that lol</p>
<p>Well, it has you getting probably a 161-171 on the LSAT. If you're fine with a 161, then I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you'd rather hit a 171, then I'd advise you to study quite a bit.</p>
<p>haha mine is 165-175, that range goes from mid 2nd tier to above the top 3 schools if you look at the medians.</p>
<p>165 is deniely NOT 'mid 2nd tier'......165 is close to the median at many of the top 20 schools</p>

<p>Well, I have 3 years to get around to it. I haven't even entered college yet!</p>
<p>The LSAT is nothing at all like the SAT. There is absolutly no way to predict how you'll do on the LSAT from the SAT.</p>
<p>Well, we could argue the theory of that -- I happen to think the verbal SAT is quite like the verbal LSAT -- but at the end of it all, the data will give us the answer.</p>
<p>How far off was the calculation for your personal experience? It was three points too low for mine.</p>
<p>EDIT: Of course two data points will hardly settle the discussion. My point is that we could sit here and argue, but ultimately the proof is in the pudding. Of course we'd need a large multi-point data set to really draw any conclusions about accuracy and so forth, but it seems to work okay for me.</p>
<p>So I guess my range is from a 167-177...that pretty much runs the gamut for top-tier law schools. Whether I decide to study for 6 months or 6 days, this does augur well for the future. Thanks, everyone!</p>
