You cannot reasonably expect to be in the top ten percent of your class. It's different from science, cs, and engineering classes. First, because the LSAT is pretty good at matching you with classmates who are similar ability. There are definitely exceptions but you have no idea if you are one. Second, the law school environment makes everyone compete at a high level. It's not a cs class where half the class is more interested in their side projects or finding a date for the house party Friday. Third, the classes are graded on a bell curve and the tests are subjective. Even if you know 100% of the rules, you won't get 100%. The exams are pure application of rules. You argue for and against liability/guilt/etc. Plus the whole field sucks.
