  Is it true for LSAT?
  

  Yup.

  I heard we can take it 3 times within 5 yrs...

  No, the rule is you can take it 3 times every 2 years.

  if people take it for 4 times...does that mean it took them more than 5 years for LSAT?
  

  Nope. Let me give you myself as an example. I took my first LSAT in 2014, and another one in 2016, since that's a two year gap, my 3 LSATs have been renewed. Although I can take it more than one more time, I don't think I will be taking that route because law schools become suspicious if they see you've taken the LSAT more than 3 times even though they'll most likely only take the highest score.

  @montaha.rizeq So..if you wanna take more than 3 times, maybe you should wait for 5 yrs (from the 1st take) and take it after the 1st or second score disappear right? ( long rung though

  That's a possibility but does that sound logical to you? Are you entering your third take? If not I wouldn't worry too much about this

  true lol and it will be showed weird on the test score report too...like there's almost 5 yrs interval between the 1st take and the last take.
  and 3rd take need to be much higher score; otherwise it might be disadvantage actually?

  Haha. The only disadvantage you put yourself in is if you take it more than 3 times. While the 3rd score doesn't necessarily have to be much higher than the previous ones, it's good to see an upward trend. It shows adcomms you're determined.
