On another note, the median student in Mathematics is certainly much smarter than the median student in Education. Not all fields of study are the same.

For the bottom 75% of philosophy majors and for 100% of other majors that have not taken a course in logic, basically. With the exception of actually taking LSAT pretests, one course in logic for someone who has never studied it it seems to be the only other thing that increases the average LSAT score near 100% of the time.
