<p>For some students, there may not be a direct correlation between how they did on the SAT/ACT and how they do later.</p>
<p>I had VERY mediocre SAT scores (back in the dark ages). When I took the LSAT and GRE, I was in the 98% percentile. I was a bit older than the average student when I took the LSAT and GRE (I had dropped out for 3 years) but, for me, the difference was that I drifted through high school and when I went back to college, I was motivated and learned a thing or 2. I approached the LSAT and GRE as I approached my studies and the results were dramatically different than the SAT.</p>
