they are two very different tests
the SAT tests math and verbal skills that are a little below the levels of most top students coming out of high school. (For example, there is no calculus, and the reading comprehension isn't as complex as the lsat)
The SAT has more to do with taking your time and not making stupid mistakes, beacuse none of the questions are truly difficult. (problem is getting 1 or 2 wrong can drop you down to a 750 on math, verbal is a little more lenient).
I think the LSAT tests a much higher level of logical reasoning (so there shouldn't be much of a correlation).

Keep in mind the competition.
Everyone in america
vs
College graduates, or those very close to college gradation looking to earn a doctorate.
It makes sense that those in lower SAT percentiles will see a significant drop in LSAT percentile. Those who are higher in the SAT percentile will see a smaller drop in comparison.
BTW: I hate you all. I no longer feel brilliant.

SAT: taken at age 16, without studying: 1430I would be more interested in an age/LSAT correlation to see if it is true that the test gets 'harder' if you are older.
GRE: taken at age 25, with minimal studying: 740 verbal (99%), 790 quantitative (96%), 800 analytical (99%)
LSAT: taken at age 31, with significant studying: 175
My LSAT %tile is, I'm pretty sure, higher than my SAT %tile. Undergrad apps. have become so much more competitive now than when I applied, I would definitely study more now for the SAT. But age hasn't seemed to hurt anything . . . yet.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
