Hey, is anyone interested in this thread? LAT results came out today.
I was surprised by my mark: 98/100 and 98th percentile. It seems overall performance was strong?

I received 71/100, which came to 52% percentile. I'm happy with this, as I think it will be sufficient  if my academic results for UNSW are really high. I'm hoping to get a 98ish ATAR, and adding AAA scholarship and educational disadvantage points, they will consider my academic results as 99.95, which alongside a greater than 50% percentile in the LAT should be good??

Correct me if I'm wrong!!

See: http://www.law.unsw.edu.au/node/51991
It says that the median LAT mark (not percentile—I don’t actually think percentile matters since people can take the test twice) in 2017 was 80, compared to 74 in 2016. Last year, the marks were definitely more inflated than 2016. This year’s curve seems like the 2016 curve, but I think generally, a mark around the 60th percentile will be competitive combined with an ATAR of around 98.

So, I think with AAA, you will almost certainly get an offer 

I got 87/100 (89th percentile), but I don’t think I will be eligible for any bonus points; does anyone know anyone from previous years who got similar marks/got in UNSW law?

Ended up getting 90th percentile with 88/100 which I'm super super happy with considering I was expecting 75th percentile or something similar.

Here are the links to the 2017 Ogive (https://lat.acer.edu.au/files/LAT_2017_Ogive.pdf) and the 2018 Ogive (https://lat.acer.edu.au/files/LAT_2018_Ogive.pdf) if anyone wanted to see what mark correlated with what percentile.
