Withdraw LSAT or just go with it.

Post by Tiny123 » Wed Sep 30, 2015 6:27 pm

So I registered for Oct 3rd LSAT, which is in 3 days.

I am pretty sure I am not ready, I been really busy this semester with 2 jobs and my thesis.

I am struggling between withdraw it or just go take it for fun/practice.

I am not in a super big hurry because my top choice right now is WUSTL, and the deadline is somewhere in Aug 2016.

Which one is a better option in this case?

Thanks

I definitely wouldn't take it for fun or just practice. Wait, and when you have time drill hard for a handful of weeks and get as high a score as possible.

Wait until you're ready. Don't waste a take.

Withdraw, don't take it until you're 100% ready.

You should definitely wait until you're ready.

But, you shouldn't look at the the application deadline as a good time to apply. The earlier you apply the better chance you have at admissions and/or scholarships
