Close enough,

A difference is that I didn't study for the SAT at all and I was hardcore about studying for the LSAT (self-studied, no prep).
My GPA started with a 2 when I took the LSAT...

I guess that gave you the motivation needed to push for the two extra points.

I got a 1560/1600 on the SATs.

Should have gotten a 175 on the LSAT but instead got a 165.
I guess that's what happens when the math goes away but even just looking at verbal alone, it should have been a 173.

Based on my SAT to LSAT i should have gotten a 164, which was my pt average but obv i bombed test day and got 157

Gave me a 168, got a 173, just barely within the margin of error.

I didn't study a day for the SAT though, and did 3 intensive weeks for the LSAT (including reading the ever-living fuck out of the Logic Games Bible).

Because +/- 5 isn't a huge range or anything...

it gave me just under a 172, got a 174, pretty close though!

SAT prediction = 173.85; Actual LSAT score = 177. Not too far off.

I scored a 770 on my SAT verbal, so AwesomeRossum's formula actually worked exactly. Nifty.

1 point off for me. Creepy.

.

Predicted: 165 or 168 or 162, depending on which score you use

My actual better be higher. Much higher. Or my life is over.

Wow that's pretty accurate. Gave me just over a 166 and I got a 167. It also gave me a hat, which I thought was nice.

Dude, the extra credit portion is half the fun.

The formula thinks my LSAT should have been two points higher. I agree. Dang it.

SAT 1260 (stupid math...)

Predicted LSAT 161
Actual LSAT 165

I didn't study for the ACT, but studied for the LSAT, fittingly I got 5 points over what it said I should.

Well, this makes me feel better. I didn't study/care much in high-school and I was doing a lot of partying (drugs & alcohol) and I scored 29 and 1270 on my ACT and SAT, respectively. Therefore, I should get a 161 on my LSAT; however, I actually plan on doing some serious prep for the LSAT. I'm shooting for a 170.

predicted: 174
actual: 171

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Predicted LSAT: 177 (which was what I was scoring on practice tests)
Actual: 169 (wasn't able to fall asleep the night before)

lols

Mine was spot on.

Predicted: 161
Actual: 167

I was a slacker and didn't study at all for the SAT. I figured taking the one forced PSAT session constituted adequate test prep.

Predicted: 176
this better happen or im suing this thread!!

edit: it's actually (M+V)/20.7+100.7
which is better for my mind because I like the number 177 more than 176

Here's another formula, based on a sample size of a 70 people:

SAT (out of 1600) * .0333 + 121.03

Predicted: 158
Actual: 171

Lol at kids who gave a shit in high school

Come now Mike, doing well on the SAT has nothing to do with giving a shit in high school.
For instance, I got about 9 Ds (but always did just enough work to pass) and managed a 1560 after 2 SAT practice tests.
Pred 176
Actual 177
That being said, I didn't give a shit in college either...

I know this is real dumb, but that doesn't make it less enticing.

Pred: 164-174 (169.5 actual prediction)
Actual: 174 (first time, no re-takes)

I took a Kaplan SAT class and did practically no other prep for a 1440 (retook for a 1450).

For the LSAT, I studied pretty hard for two to three weeks.

I am inclined to say I studied harder for the LSAT which accounts me being at the very end of the (incredibly large, actually) margin of error, but I don't know. The +/- 5 LSAT points is a lot so I don't think this is anything magical.
