Retaking LSAT in Feb for 3rd time (for $$)
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2018 2:21 pm
Hi everyone,
I've only seen one other topic on this question, and I wanted to confirm my thinking before registering.
I took the LSAT in June and Sept. and got a 164 and 165. However, on the second test, I underperformed on my average PT by about 7-8 points (I had the flu and am generally test-anxious). My gpa is 3.9+ so I know if I had hit my average that I'd be looking at some solid good options, making this decision fairly difficult.
I applied to most of the schools I'm targeting in late October and have several acceptances—my concern isn't about getting into school, rather it's about improving my chances of getting scholarship money. So my questions are: will registering for the February LSAT to try to hit my average 1) slow the review of my existing applications (including those I just interviewed for), 2) be worth it to negotiate a higher scholarship total, 3) would a lower score hurt my existing applications, 4) would bailing and withdrawing a week before look bad if I'm not feeling that all will go well?
In all honesty, I wouldn't be studying as hard for this test because my main issue is nerves on test day, which I imagine should be alleviated now that I'm already sitting in a decent place. Does this thinking make sense?
Thanks!
