Also, if you decide to retake and get a higher score to justify another cycle, you can also retake again in October (assuming you have one left).
Edited: Scooped.
don't blow several thousands on a tutor. that's a waste. Just do noodley's or lsat trainer or something.ravel wrote:EDIT: I can just make a deposit and see how I do in June. I have saved up quite a bit. I was hoping to travel. The reason I am asking this question is that I need to figure out whether I should blow several thousand dollars on a tutor for a couple months to see if I can break my plateau or just let it go. Also, if I wind up deciding to wait, I could look into even later LSAT dates too.
One last thing: The last two times I wrote the LSAT, I had a lot going on around the same time, so I never had a few months entirely free to commit to studying.

This advice is good but incomplete. Practice tests are a great tool. But, you can improve your score much more efficiently if you take the time to learn the test. Great threads on this site to do that. Learn Logic Games. Learn the language of logic for Logical Reasoning (you may already be familiar if you've taken a logic course). Learn the types of questions in each section. While doing this take maybe a full practice exam a week. After that, carbo-load on tests, tests, test.dabigchina wrote:or just take a shitload of practice exams.Nova wrote:don't blow several thousands on a tutor. that's a waste.
