<p>Hey guys a roomate of mine took a diagnostic lsat at kaplan today and got a 159 with zero studying. What could he reasonably expect to get next fall if he studies hard during the summer and takes a lsat advanced course on campus through kaplan? Also he says his worst section by far was the logic games section because he ran out of time with about a third of the questions left so he put C for the last seven. Thanks for the input.</p>
<p>From cold to the real thing? If you study hard, 15 points.</p>
<p>We’ll be conservative and say 10 points.</p>
<p>My cold score improved 12 points from freshman year. With no prep, other than knowing to C out the answer sheet when I run out of time.</p>
<p>thanks nyustudent, anyone else been through this?</p>
<p>I’d advise against burdening yourself with expectations, unless you’re planning to apply to schools before you have an actual LSAT score, which I would also advise against doing. </p>
<p>The best course is to prepare adequately, but not obsessively, and then give it your best shot.</p>
