LSAT vs SAT

[FSUGeoff]

I’ve just been wondering if my correlation between these tests is normal or not. I took both tests with “little” prep, meaning a few timed practice tests, but spent no time “learning” them. My SAT score was 1310, and my LSAT was 155. Granted I might have killed a good amount of brain cells along the way, but it seems like my LSAT performance was kinda low, and given I have no real love for math, this seems odd no?

[Mr. Pink]

No they are not correlated.  Plus LSAT is scaled. 

[Steve.jd]

No they are not correlated.  Plus LSAT is scaled. 

Isn't the SAT somehow scaled too?

[FSUGeoff]

I don't think the SAT is scaled, could be wrong though

[FSUGeoff]

I was 90%tile back then now like 66%tile, I dunno.

[FSUGeoff]

This is true, I guess my main question is are these scores comparable. I saw something that equated a 1310 to like a 163, which just made me depressed, but too late to worry now

[FSUGeoff]

That’s somewhat reassuring

i dunno how correlated they are. i sucked at the analogy section of the SATs simply b/c I didnt know what the vocab meant half the time.  i feel the LSATs test slightly different skills..more logical and less ability to memorize lots of random vocabulary words

you got a 1600, didn't you, stan.

[florentino ariza]

she might have too.

but it's hard to do "considerably" better on the SAT than you did the LSAT.

you types make me cringe at my own bonafides.
