Did it feel like you could answer all questions correctly with enough time
Yeah, time limit hurt me on the science. I got a 23 without bubbling in 10 answers. I feel like can get a 30 on the science. Max out my reading and English also.
It's all about my time management though

Exactly! No need to take one of those expensive courses. Use a good study book from Amazon and that is all you need

Aren't you the guy making fun of a teenager's 1st attempt at a major standardized test without prep?
Kind of sad if you can be introspective and analyze your own behavior

You think you can easily jump your science score up 7 points and then get a perfect in two other sections?

The transformation in a person between the time they take the ACT and the time they take the LSAT is huge for some people. I don't know much about the LSAT, but believe someone can do better by "turning their life around" in those 4 years. I watched the smartest people I know squander everything and dumbasses get into med school. Anything can happen. Not saying you should expect it, but it can happen.
Nothing you just said has anything to do with standardized test taking ability and base intelligence.
The LSAT is basically an intelligence test. It has nothing to do with law.
It's logic games, analytical reasoning, etc...
"Turning your life around" doesn't improve base intelligence or test taking ability.
As for this:

I didn't say he wouldn't get unit law school, but a 160 isn't easy and isn't a shitty LSAT score. Hence the vastly over estimating comment

I got 4 answers wrong out of the total amount of completed questions. I have the capabilities. 4 wrong out of 30 is bad to you? Same goes for my reading and English which also fell victim to poor time management.

I'm always happy to converse with people. Anyone that knows me IRL will tell you that I don't act any differently than I post on here for the most part.
I'm just telling you that jumping your score up 6 points takes a lot of work. You should make sure it's something you actually want to do.
What's your GPA? And what colleges are you looking at?

My kid added 9 points with retakes and study guides from Books A Millon.
One study class on a Saturday also taught all the test taking strategies that you really should know.
Schedule your next test and prepare for it. It can make a big difference financially.

The talk of how the ACT measures your base intelligence is laughable considering the Science section required no actual science application 
You guys are funny. It's a game and a game i have to master unfortunately.
My GPA is a 3.3 and i'm moving oos so i don't really know at the moment

I went from a 24 to a 32 (no classes or studying). Don't get drunk the night before and give up when you get tired of taking it. My reading went from 17 to 31

Took my first crack at the ACT and and scored a 24. With studying can i lift my score up to a 30? Or is the ACT pretty accurate on determining your level with 1 sample?

If you actually study & prep for it, then yes you can jump. If you just go to the course and do the min then no.

When you act like a cocky dipshit, I can make fun of you for being dumb. Regardless of age

They have cheat classes that teach kids the ins and outs of taking the ACT now
