<p>i recently sat for a proctored mock-LSAT exam on my campus that kaplan offered. I am only a sophomore and the following affected my score:</p>
<p>-0 prior knowledge of the test except for horror stories about "logic games" which i always said sounded fun (this should illustrate my naivete)</p>
<p>-i never guessed (i didnt know how scoring worked) and left approximately 6 blank on each section for a total of around 24 blanks (if i am remembering correctly that 4 sections were graded)</p>
<p>-i had not taken my adderall (legal) and found myself doodling intermitently- i would take it on my next practice test and see if it helps</p>
<p>-i had been up for 18 hours prior</p>
<p>I got a 151 and am not displeased as i took the test for educational purposes, simply to see what it is like (i am only a sophomore and over a year away from the real thing)</p>
<p>i feel infinitely better armed to take it again, and feel i could do far better even with 0 additional preparation just from taking it once.</p>
<p>My question is how far can a score realistically improve? i would like to score a 170 or higher to make up for my less-than-stellar GPA (which i am working on)</p>
<p>i plan on taking an intensive course if need be, but in the mean time will be studying by doing 1-2 sections a week and timing myself, i am hoping this will pay off and make me far less stressed in my preparation.</p>
<p>do you guys think such an improvement is achievable or better yet, likely? what is the experience of this forum in terms of original scores vs final ones?</p>
