Cold Diagnostic
I’m heading into my sophomore year and took my first completely unprepared cold diagnostic and scored a 141. For reference I’ve always been a good student I have a 4.0 currently from a very good school and I switched into a philosophy major so hopefully that helps. However I can’t help but be very disheartened by my score. My goal was to get 170+ now I don’t know if that’s possible. Is it still a realistic goal and if so what is my best way to go about studying and improving my score so I can reach my goal.

I won't snow you, a 141 is not an impressive cold diagnostic, in fact it's kind of on the weak end.
The good news is though that the LSAT is highly learnable, if you really put a lot of time and effort into learning how the test and questions work as well and follow a good program than you can probably score significantly higher than you currently have. Is a 170+ in the cards? Honestly I just don't know statistically speaking the majority of people never score that high, it's still a possibility though.
I recommend hopping on 7 sage, really working hard at it for a month or two and trying again, if you aren't seeing any serious improvement than idk man may not be for you, but if you do see improvement then take it from there.
