Some standardized test score disappear after 5 yrs right? Is it true for LSAT?

I heard we can take it 3 times within 5 yrs...is it because they reset test scores?

How do they calculate this?

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

    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.

    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?

    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 :)

    @476.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

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

    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.
