The normal deviation is probably anywhere from 0-5 points (based on my own observations), which is quite significant. The old preptests that I am using are also slightly different from the current LSATs that are administered, but I will eventually move up to the more modern ones closer to the test date.

The thing about the LSAT is that it is most often weighted more heavily than one's GPA, which is rather ridiculous in my view, but is also why I am studying so much.

Yeah, a huge emphasis is put on these tests. It's a profitable industry, that's why. However, the tests theoretically should predict potential to do well. I'm learning about all the major tests in my Psychological Testing class, so I hear your pain. I'm starting to look over the GRE stuff. Studying for it is lame, I wish I just read more during college. I rocked the ACT (not quite as good as you ) and I attribute my success to all the reading I did as a kid. I think I got a 34 or 35 on English and a 32 or 33 on the Reading.
