Curiosity about my LSAT score (I am 17)

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I am going to my senior year in highschool. First of all, i am well aware that i am a nerd for attempting the LSAT... i might apply to law school in the future and I was really bored today so i went on the internet and printed out an actual LSAT test that was administered in 1996. I absolutely had no clue about the test format or any preparation.. i pretty much decided to see my score because i was bored. So i did it under timed conditions and got a 150... i created this thread is more out of curiosity than anything else and because i want to know your opinions... for my age of 17 and without any previous practise, would you personally classify 1 as bad, average or good?</p>

<p>O and I know i probably should not be taking these tests but i could not help myself</p>

<p>The 50th percentile is typically a score of about 151; the 90th percentile is around 163 and the 99th is about 172. A 178 or better usually places the examinee in the 99.9th percentile.
150 sounds pretty good</p>

<p>socal thanks for the percentiles… they were helpful.</p>

<p>any other opinions?</p>

<p>A 150 will not let you in to any of the top schools (t-40/50).</p>

<p>It depends what your goals are. I am a rising senior in college but feel like I could score just about as well as I do now back when I was 17.</p>

<p>Depends on the individual and their ability to improve, but as it is 150 is a pretty low score</p>

<p>I would not worry too much about scores right now. A large part of the challenge of the LSAT is the timing. Taking a test untimed is useful to build knowledge, but it really does not give you an accurate score.</p>

<p>The format and questions types, once mastered, make the LSAT very predictable. If you continue to take more practice exams - timed - you will see 150 increase dramatically.</p>

<p>I think it’s a fairly average score, and that it could increase exponentially give some, even minimal, training. I’m 17, have read some of the Powerscore Logic Bible, and think that it makes a tremendous difference in the way in which you look and solve questions. When I started looking at arguments, I got some wrong and didn’t understand why, but as I read some strategies, things started to make sense.</p>

<p>where did you get this prep from.May I please have the link. Im 18 a public policy and Econ major at UCR this fall and wants to go to UCLA law</p>

<p>Work on your GPA and don’t worry about the LSAT until junior year. It takes a few months to study for it, but there’s no need to start now.</p>
