How much do you think of getting a good score on the LSAT is preparation vs raw intelligence? Can anybody with decent intelligence get a 160 with enough preparation? Discuss

When people end their posts with "Discuss" it makes me want to leap across the internet and punch them in the face. Discuss.

Calm down broseph

It's a combination of both. Use the search function. I am sure you will find an answer.

Combination of the two.

What's it matter? You can't change your raw intelligence, but you can prepare for the LSAT. People who say that there's some kind of cap on your potential LSAT score due to your intelligence are usually just making an excuse because they didn't prepare well enough.

Take some diagnostic tests, set a goal based on where you want to go to school, and do your best.
