Tell us more about your career goals in law and the job you have lined up.

You will probably get into most of those schools. Retaking in October sounds like a smart move though, if nothing else for more scholarship money.

How hard did you study before the 151? If you tried all you could to teach yourself to LSAT and scored a 151, maybe it's time to bring in a fresh perspective.

One note of caution regarding signing up for a course is that many people seem to treat the class as an excuse to avoid taking ownership of their progress. "I signed up for a class, I did everything they told me to do, I improved to X score, and that's that." Self-studying challenges you to identify and correct your own weaknesses, which will probably produce better results -- assuming that you're capable of identifying and correcting your own weaknesses. And that is admittedly a big caveat. If it were easy to identify and correct your own weaknesses, they wouldn't be weaknesses. You really need to commit to identifying techniques that will lead to incremental improvements, struggling with them, refining your execution, and then identifying the next place for incremental improvement.

So my advice would be to assess where you stand. If you think you can improve on your own, that will probably produce the best results. If you need to bring in fresh eyes, do so. But maintain ownership of your own progress, and don't stop studying on your own. The class is best treated as a supplement to self-study.

Definitely agree. I reviewed since January while working full time for approx 20 Hrs per week mostly doing 7 sage course and drilling Cambridge . Blind review ate up my weekends . 4 total practice tests completed .
The main reason I would take test masters is to review and provide supplemental prior to my own drilling. Fill in the gaps .
I need to use my time wisely and review the foundations and then drill .
However, I am terrified to just self study and drill without a review but perhaps just drilling and reviewing manhatten and ps for reading comp and logic games respectively will be better time management .
Thought ?

.

I'm doing Cambridge logic game and LR as well as RC Manhattan to drill.
I'm shooting for one PT per week until 12/2015.
