about how many times should one take the LSAT, even with much studying and preparation for the test, without achieving the score they want, before one considers doing something else with their life? Asking for a friend who is about really to give up. (not really)

Most people take it at least twice or three times
I suppose it would depend what the score is, and what the goal is to warrant giving up. If your goal is a 175 and you're scoring a 170, that isn't something to give up over. Apply with that score
The most legendary moment in the history of baseball has to be when Babe Ruth called his shot. He was down two strikes and the other team was mocking him. In response, he held up one finger pointed deep towards center field. And on the next pitch, he hit the ball over the fence at the exact spot he had pointed to.
Or so the legend goes.
When asked about it later, he explained that everyone had completely misunderstood what he'd meant. He wasn't pointing at all. He was holding up that finger to say he had one strike left before he was out. And as long as he had a pitch left, he was dangerous.
The truth isn't quite as exciting, and even with Ruth on record saying what really happened, the legend of the called shot has always remained the story. But when I quit LSAT after my score went down on my second take, it was the truth of the one-pitch-left that came to my mind. It nagged at me. I'd quit with a pitch still to come. After about two months, I decided I couldn't abide by that. If I strike out fine. But I'm taking all my swings.
You can take the lsat up to 7 times.
I am inspired, I want to get to my score even if it is impossible. That is what makes it a dream
I don't think its about how many times you take the test, its about how effective your studying is in between the tests.
