For personal reference, do any of you recall what score you obtained after completing your first ever LSAT "diagnosis"-type exam? As in, the score you got before ever studying? I'd love to see a list of where people stood before grinding out several months of study time to get above a 160 or 170. Thanks in advance for the responses.

152 I think to a 168.

Diagnostic: 163
Sept. 09 LSAT: 171

Kaplan Advanced class.

146 Diagnostic

163 Final

151.

Took three times for a 157, 164, and 172. All self study, but varying methods. I wrote a thread about it so check it if you want more details.

Diagnostic: 178 (International applicant, when I took my first diag, I was just back from a 6 month mandatory military service on Iraq border, kept telling people about LSAT to keep my sanity so was insanely motivated when I took my first exam lulz)
Reality: 170 (Oct' 10) / 176 (Dec' 10)

EDIT: Method: Self study, read the Bibles and took 45 PTs, but the total amount of time was like 2 months max, during a particularly intense period I took 15 PTs in 17 days.

147 to 168

160 first diag

167 first real LSAT

174 second LSAT

153 - practice test in dec 2010
168 - Feb 2011 LSAT

150 1st diagnostic

155 July 09
166 July 10

165ish. on my first practice.
176 after studying very hard. Most of my progress was in logic games.

166 on my first practice (mauve dinosaurs ). 170 on real thing due to an epic logic games fuckup.

no classes or anything, just preptests.

diagnostic 167
October 163
December 173

165 diagnostic
173 feb score (self-study)

diag 160

Jun '10 171

Cold diagnostic: 154
Actual Test: 165

I took a short LSAT prep class, but did very little self-study. I got into my target school, but in retrospect, I wish have tried harder (or retook) and broke 170 (just for pride's sake).

Cold diagnostic: 152
February '11: 171, self study

149, testmasters, 166.

Thank you all for the responses, now I don't feel so threatened by scoring 150 and 148 on diagnostic exams. I'm taking the exam in June, and I I sort of set myself up for fear of failure thinking that anyone who breaks a 165 on the LSAT probably scored above a 155 on their first diagnostic.

I can't remember my diagnostic exactly. I took it with 2 friends, and we were just talking about this the other day. I remembered getting a 161, one remembered 159, and the other guy told me I got a 156. All we can agree on is that I missed 19 on the logic games. 176 in Feb after taking every released prep test and reading the bibles.

I really had very little improvement.
Diagnostic: 155
A kaplan class where I never paid attention and never did the work. Then I used the bibles. Wound up with a 161.

I'm one of the worst. The LSAT with the french divers in a cave LR question was my diagnostic - 163. ended up with a 165 after multiple tries.
