<p>Hi guys, i'm entering my junior year this fall and i'm starting LSAT prep this summer on my own before I enroll in a prep course this fall or spring semester. Prior to any kind of studying or prep, I curiously decided to take a practice LSAT from princetonreview.com and I scored a 157. As I understand it, the average LSAT score falls between is around 151, falling between 145-159. Based on your success with score improvements after significant prep, how much potential do I have in increasing my score to one appreciated by T15 schools? If its any help, I have a cumulative gpa of 3.66 right now and my goal at the very least is admission into UT-Austin Law or Georgetown Law.</p>
<p>It depends on a lot of variables. What type of questions were you missing? Were you missing logic game questions because you weren’t familiar with setups? If that was a big part of your score, then prep will help you a lot. Was time an issue? If so, practicing can help a lot. Really there’s no way to tell. Nothing’s impossible at this stage.</p>
<p>I missed only 3 from logic games, a few from RC, but most of it came from the first section of the logical reasoning. I got almost all of them right in the second section, but I think the trend there is that I was just getting more comfortable with seeing those questions. I am more comfortable with RC though, but i’d like to improve on logical reasoning obviously since that is half the exam. I am definitely planning on buying the powerscore bibles to supplement the sparknotes lsat book I bought.</p>
<p>i heard RC is the hardest to fix but then yea with enough studying, you can get all right in logic games and most in logical reasoning. even RC is not impossible to fix with enough directed reading and practice solving questions from LSAT (or even GRE) reading passages
it’s all a matter of how much effort you put into it</p>
<p>6 months of effective studying and you’re looking at a perfect score.</p>
<p>3.66/170+ will definitely get you into some very nice schools, depending on how far above 170. Looking at CCN if you get 174 or above, lower T14 below that and at/above 170.</p>
<p>I would think 169 would get you into CG, 170+ into MVPDN. Don’t even try for Berkeley, they’re GPA whores, and UT Austin hates out of state splitters.</p>
