Is a 143 on the LSAT a bad score?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, a 143 is a bad score. I got a 147. I applied to about 20 schools and only got accepted to one. The only reason I got accepted there was because my brother had attended. Your best bet would be to put the time and energy into studying for the LSAT and take it again. If you do well enough you might even get a scholarship somewhere. I doubt that any ABA approved school would accept someone with a 143.

Answer 2

Yes it is amazing. The biggest IQ is known to be 200 or something like that.

In fact, only half the population score 100 or higher on standard I.Q. tests, only 16% score as high as 115, and only 3% as high as 130. Only about two people in 1000 score 143 or higher.

A documented score that high will allow the person to join such high I.Q. societies as Mensa.

Answer 3

An average SAT score is 1500. But more important is the way that the SAT breaks down and what the colleges are looking for in those areas. ie., if you have good Mathematics and Writing scores but your Critical Reading is off. A college only interested in Maths and Writing scores may ignore your Critical Reading score or not exclude you because of it.

Answer 4

Someone with a score of 160 or above is a genius.
