how bad does it look
if you have a record of:
cancel (june), 155-160s guesstimate (october), 167-170s (december)
If you have a long retake process like this, is it very unappealing to schools, even if you end up with a 170?

Re: how bad does it look
does this mean I put off applying in general until after I get the December score? Or do I submit my entire application in October and wait for my dec lsat?cannibal ox wrote:That's what they'll see.warandpeace wrote:you end up with a 170

This is a lot of speculation.

Re: how bad does it look
I particularly appreciate how you not only speculate as to your upcoming test, but then make a prediction on the following one as well

Re: how bad does it look
I'm facing heavy parental pressure to take it...I don't know how avoidable the Oct test is for me. I'm just asking if it looks bad.NYC2012 wrote:THIS. I took October two years ago and I was completely not ready, because I felt pressured to apply that cycle - do not make the same mistake!

Me too that was pretty good. OP don't take it in October if you aren't even coming close to 170 on practice tests.Clearly wrote:I particularly appreciate how you not only speculate as to your upcoming test, but then make a prediction on the following one as well

Parental pressures? Will they be paying your law school tuition?

This makes it more difficult, but you just have to reiterate that the score you get on your exam matters far, far more than the date you take itwarandpeace wrote:they areClearly wrote:Parental pressures? Will they be paying your law school tuition?

i faced the same parental pressures. this is the time to tell your parents to fuck off, that a high lsat score trumps everything.warandpeace wrote:they areClearly wrote:Parental pressures? Will they be paying your law school tuition?

Re: how bad does it look
I agree with other posters here -- while schools wont average your scores, seeing a 150-something is never a good thing for a top school. Dont waste time with short term prep when you could play a long game and ultimately win.
If you just want to treat the Oct LSAT as a real-time practice exam and cancel your score, whatever, but I would rather have just a 170 than a cancel, 170 or 158, 170. Less awkward questions in your JS1.

They realize law school starts on the same day whether you take oct or Dec? The only difference is where...warandpeace wrote:they areClearly wrote:Parental pressures? Will they be paying your law school tuition?
