You're confused on the meaning/reguirements of general correlation.

As long as I'm busting your balls, 'reguirements' isn't a word.

But it's not all HS students... SAT takers may be a larger subset, but they're also self-selecting.

Is there really a correlation? I find it somewhat implausible, because say you got a really bad score on the SAT, and you prep for the LSAT for a year, you're telling me that person won't get a good score because the SAT was low? I really don't understand how there can be a correlation when you can do well on either one by preparing adequately. There has to be people out there who have a low SAT, high LSAT or vice versa.

Composition fallacy.  You can easily have outliers in your regression but maintain a valid correlation.  In layman's terms, the correlation has no effect on an individual's scores, but when we look at all the LSAT takers as a whole, we see their LSAT scores generally correlate to their SAT scores.

The problem there, Wallace, is that there are plenty of articulate, highly motivated, decent or better teachers who did score above their threshold, which they view as the minimum necessary comprehension level for the test.  So they don't even need to look at you.
