I am a sophomore and would like to study abroad second semester of my Junior year. I have ample time this summer to study and next semester as well. I can even take a night course next fall in anticipation of the Dec. Lsat. I am wondering if I should do this instead of taking the LSAT in june after a semester abroad in Europe when I might not have full time to study or waiting until Oct and sending in Apps a little later rather than as soon as possible. Any thoughts? (my gpa is on the lower side about a 3.5 cumulative but a little lower on the LSAC scale).

Thank you!

Study hard for 3-5 months; take it in December. If you don't do well, repeat this for October. November 1 is still plenty early for sending in apps.
