I took the test four times because my score was so much lower on my first three LSATS than my practice tests. Maybe this isn't the best way to go for everyone, but I went from a 160 or below on three tests (I was scoring 165-170 on practice tests) to a 171. The biggest change I made the fourth time was taking significant measures to cope with test anxiety. For me, this included not telling anyone I was studying for or taking the test for a fourth time. I think it helped a lot. Reduce as much pressure as you can!
