Does anyone have a map that shows where the highest concentration of LSAT scores are? I would like to move there and drink the water from now until the Oct LSAT.

Did you read the correlation/causation chapter in your prep book?

Correlation implies causation, right? Is that how it goes?

I read that correlation ensures causation.

For some reason I have 52... 51 is explained by the inclusion of D.C.
Washington is listed twice

Actually there was a glitch in the program, my bad.
To make a long story short, it split Washington D.C. into Washington and D.C. separately, so there were two Washingtons, and it was treating Wyoming as a further value down which would be the value of people who didn't report their state.
I updated the graph above.
My apologies.

West V at 51 makes a lot more sense than West V at 3

New England, e.g. for 2003-2004, it had a mean LSAT score of 153.52 and a standard deviation of 9.87. You can use a Z table to estimate the breakdowns because LSAT scores are approximately normally distributed.

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy your (soon-to-be) higher LSAT score.
