Realistic LSAT score increases depend on your starting point and various details. However, any score increase along those lines would likely take a tremendous amount of work. It's possible, though.
The lower you start, the easier it is to improve significantly. 125 ---> 145 would be easier than 140 ---> 160. Even more difficult would be 150s ---> 170s or 160 ---> 180.
If you'd like to read the in-depth stories of students who've achieved those kinds of score increases, check out the LSAT Diaries.
Some of the various details involved in how likely it is for you to achieve a 20-point increase might include:
- quality of resources used (actual PrepTests, of course, along with solid foundational materials)
- time invested in studying per week/month
- overall length of study period (1 month? 6 months? 1 year?)
- quality of studying (smarter, not harder - review is a big part of this)
I understand the reason for asking this question, but I'm not sure how useful it is. Olympic athletes don't ask how likely their chances of success are - they just give it their all.
- They wake up early and put in several hours of training. They go beyond their previous limits.
- They surround themselves with coaches and other resources to maximize their chances of success.
- They make the necessary sacrifices in other areas of their lives.
I ask a tremendous amount of my students, and their ability to deliver on those requirements is how we make miracles happen.
