Default Year End Review Time!

So now that we are into 2009, I'm sure everyone is going into their year-end reviews soon. I have a few questions on how I should go about things in mine tomorrow.

Throughout the year, I've researched various salary surveys from recruiter websites and have noticed a fairly large gap in compensation for someone with my experience and exam completion. (I'm an actuarial analyst, so there is a 9-exam process to become fully designated as an actuary)

So is it wrong of me to go into my review with these salary surveys and look for a substantial raise, even in this downtime in the global markets? The surveys show the 10-90 percentiles of salaries and mine doesn't even come close to what's being offered elsewhere in the market.

This would be the first time at any job I'm going into a review with the desire to ask for a substantial raise, so just looking for any type of advice really…
