A score of 145 on the LSAT is a bad score. The median score on the LSAT tends to be about 152which is also considered to be a bad score. Scores in the high 150s and in the 160s can be either good or bad scores depending upon the median score for any particular law school.

Law schools do not average the scores for admission, but we always look at performance if you've taken the test more than once. Ideally, it would be best if every applicant could secure their ideal LSAT score on the first attempt, but that is often not the case. Law schools will report the highest LSAT score.

In September 2017, the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) changed its policy on how many times you can take the LSAT. Now, there are no limitations on the number of times you can take the LSAT test. The old policy limited you to three LSAT tests in a two-year period, including cancellations and absences.

Generally, no. The law schools will credit the high (or only) score in both situations, and they will not hold a cancellation against you. So, if you retake and you jump 3 points (or lose 3 points), the law schools will consider only your highest score.

The 75th percentile LSAT score is a mighty 169, which is on par with top ten school Duke University. On the other hand, a 161 would put you in the 75th percentile at 50th-ranked University of California (Hastings).

You are only allowed to take the LSAT three times in any two-year period. Canceling one score is, ultimately, probably not a big deal. Canceling more than once will only allow you one score that counts during those two years, and will additionally look pretty bad to most law schools.
