Registered for Feb LSAT -- should I postpone? Forum

[nhdng]

I just realized I have until the 15th to change the date of my LSAT. I registered for February and gave myself two months to study. My goal is at least 165, as that is in the range of my top choices (Boston College, U of Washington, etc). I'm averaging 159 right now on practice tests and unsure I'll be able to bring it up in the next four weeks. Should I wait till June to take the test?

I also recieved a fee waiver, so retaking the test isn't really an issue of money as much as time and how it would look to the schools.

I am not 100% sure but I do think you are responsible for any fees associated with canceling or changes?

Yes, it turns out you still are responsible for test date/location changes even if you've received a fee waiver. I went ahead and postponed, however. The $66 was worth it after I saw that my top choice will average two scores. I don't want to bomb Feb because I didn't give myself enough time to study, and then have a higher June score not even really count.
