LSAT score as a freshman

So I’m a freshman doing my undergrad right now. Just for kicks I took a practice LSAT that Kaplan was administering. Having seen maybe 4 LSAT questions I took the test and got a 147. This kind of surprised me because I got a 1310 on my SATs with just as little prep, I was expecting some kind of correlation; I was wrong heh. Funny this is, I took the test for fun and now it’s worrying me.

So my question is, how much will my score increase in 2-3 years without any prep? If at all. I only ask this because I heard that with the SATs your score would increase by about 80 per year. For example, someone scoring a 1500 his/her freshman year could expect a 1660 if he or she were to take the SATs her junior year. Does this apply to the LSAT?

With extreme prep and possibly a course, money allowing, how much could one expect an increase?

Also, a big problem for me was finishing in time. I only get to about 75-80% of the questions. Is this common for most people?

EDIT:

Not to excuse my poor score, but there were times during the test where I was just thinking “why am I taking this practice as a freshman? I wish I didn’t decide to do this, this is just so tedious. I don’t need this yet”.
