Should I take the June LSAT?
Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2016 4:06 pm
Hi TLS forums,
This is my first post here. I recently made the decision to apply to law school in the fall. I have a 3.73 from the a top 20 UG and decent softs (not that they really matter). My dream is to go to Penn Law and thus I will need to score at least a 170.
I took then June 2007 LSAT as a diagnostic and scored a 162. Aside from that I have done little test prep.
I am registered for the June LSAT but now I'm worried that I do not have enough time to earn a competitive score. If I started preparing now as the semester winds down and then studied full time for the last three weeks of May will I have a shot to score in that range?
On the one hand, I think taking the June test will force me to study very hard and if I fall short of a 170 then I will be in a better position to earn a 170+ in October. I could not find a deadline for changing the test date on the LSAC website. Is it possible that I could keep my June registration but and make the decision of whether or not to switch it to the fall based on how well I am scoring on practice tests in the weeks leading up to the test?
Thank you so much and look forward to hearing your responses.
Best,
RD
