How getting a 145 on my LSAT is going to change my life.

After scoring in the low 150's I went into the June 7 LSAT wanting a 153 or 154 to squeak me into Southwestern Law. Today I signed up for a Testmasters course(80 hours) compared to my 30 hour Kaplan class(never take Kaplan..I beg you people). I am now aiming for a 167 to get into USC/Pepperdine/UCLA/Loyola. This is going to change my life...I got a 145 and I was in utter shock. I scored 47/99. I NEVER got that before. I usually hit 58-62...this score might look bad..but a much better score will look even better. The improvement should hopefully turn schools on and let me in.
Thanks for reading my story! GET MOTIVATED PEOPLE!

In all honesty, I think that just about anyone can get a 155+ on this test with proper amount of studying. I personally started from mid 140's and now consistently score in 160-163 range. I also think I haven't reached my upper limit yet (I'm non native speaker with no prior standardized test experience). As a matter of principle, I decide for myself that I will not be taking the exam until I complete EVERY preptest available. I would also like to acknowledge that I like the test and sometimes find myself hesitating whether I really want to go to law school. I just do LSAT for the kicks believe it or not.
Anywho, enough with rambling. Whatever you decide, please don't go to lower tier school as it's frequently the case that plumbers make more $ than TTT graduates.

I swear, i clicked on this thread thinking this was going to be it.
"I got a 145 on my LSAT and decided 'Jesus Christ, maybe I shouldn't go to law school' , and now I'm off to get an MBA"
Guess not.

Well..if I was a bitch maybe I would give up that early. But being a senior in college..I got me some time. And if I fuck up again..then I'll pursue a masters in human factors psychology.

I was disappointed when OP already provided an answer to "how getting a 145 on my LSAT is going to change my life" instead of asking for opinions. I thought it was going to be something like this...

Flamer is what kids under 20 or what immature adults call homosexual people. I have no idea what that dude means by his definition.

You don't get an assist if you score all the lulz yourself. The internet is a team sport. Thread title screamed Steve Nash but the post was pure A.I.

Get a job. You are too young for law school. Low LSAT + Low Maturity Level are two pretty strong indicators that you will not succeed in law school. I recommend you wait at least 3-4 years.

Use the Powerscore Logic Games and Logical Reasoning Bibles to prep. They are worth their weight in gold.

Low-maturity level? How could you judge that by not knowing me at all?

I could be drunk and score 20 points better than a 145. WTF is wrong with you?
Were you shitting yourself the entire test? You got less than half right.

I wasn't in the zone. I wasn't ready for the test. I completely bombed it. Shouldn't have even brought this up on this site, no one is supportive here.

A drunk 165 would be pretty impressive. Not saying you can't/didn't but I think it would be real interesting to see people try.

This is exactly what law schools do.
Also, flame means post that is made up to provoke a strong reaction.

Whats your problem? Why do you go out of your way to make fun of someone? Just because you did better on your test does not give you the right to make fun of someone who did not. You are the one who needs to grow up. Last time I checked there was more to life than an lsat score.

For the Lulz. And I need no justification to do it. He opened himself up for this when he posted about his 145.

Thank you moff. I was told to come to this site to get advice from experienced LSAT takers are current lawyers. All i've seen here is a bunch of snobby trolls and ignorant gelatinous tapeworms.
