In Reply To: I took the GMATs last fall and was wondering how they would correlate to the LSATs. I scored a 720 with my verbal portion of my score being higher by about 5% points or so. On the SATs I scored the same on both the verbal and the math 720/720. I guess I could just buy a practice test or something, but just wondering if there is any data out there. I know there are list of percentiles for both, but I wasn't sure about the correlation between the percentiles of both. thanks
Message: The tests seemed very similar to me, the biggest differences being the Lsat has games, and the GMAT has math. the RC and logic questions could almost be swapped between the two and I wouldn't have notices. A quick guide as to how scores correlate - take a GMAT score and put a 1 in front of it and drop the 0. ie 720 would be roughly the same as a 172. This is just a guess from my experience. Also the different sections are the X factor so it is not a predictor of how you will score on the other test if you have taken one (p.s I did better on the GMAT than LSAT - ran out of time on games)
