I need to know if this is possible. Thanks.

Has it happened? Yes. Is it common? No.

Was 141 without any previous prep at all?

The answer is yes, it is possible. But it will be very, very difficult.

I would say a clearer indicator as to yes/no would be this: put in some solid prep for about 2/3 weeks and then take another test. If you can break 150 you know you have a shot. If after 2/3 weeks you can't break 150, I would say getting to 170 would be a long and challenging road.

I have friend who went from the 140s to PTing in the low-mid 170s. He ended up in the 160s and is retaking. Another guy had low 150s and scored a 169

To answer your question, is it possible? Yes. However, when you're aiming for a 29 point increase right off the bat, you will tend to disappoint yourself because you won't achieve that goal very quickly.

I know you're looking for reassurance, but I don't think this is the place for it. Study thoroughly, work hard and be content with your results. Good luck.

Thank you to everyone for the advice. I scored 141 on practice tests without any prior test preparation. My hope is that with good preparation, I can and will break the 170 mark.

If that 141 was your cold diagnostic, I think you can break the 170 mark. My cold diagnostic was 151, and I certainly broke the 170 mark, though that was the second time I took the test.

I would just make sure you're willing to put in months of hard work, and that you have the right resources, which TLS can point you to.
