First and foremost, I've taken 6 PT's and am averaging 157-161. I've enrolled in Testmasters and have been studying for a total of 3 months with a result of a 12 point improvement. I've mastered LG (averaging no errors) and am on the verge of mastering LR, but my accuracy on LR and overall Comp performance need work. I'm registered for the Oct LSAT, but I'm going to either cancel my date or take the test and drop the score within the 6 day period. The schools that I'm aiming for are BU/BC, so I'll need a 10 point increase in order to have a chance.
As for my other relevant factors, I've just started my 4th year of UG with a 3.82 in English. I will be graduating next spring with honors. As for my softer factors, I've recently been accepted for a volunteer position in the city hall of the city which my university is located in. My position is the equivalent of a secretary (I even get my own cubical!) I'm involved in several honors clubs and I also freelance as an algebra tutor.
What I would like advice on is this: should I register for an LSAT that is 3 months away and try to increase my score by 10 points, or should I take a year off to study/gain life experience?
I've increased my score by 12 points within the past 3 months, so my improvement is achievable, but the idea of taking a year off is enticing. As ambitious as I may feel, I keep thinking one thing: I'm only 20. I haven't had much experience professionally and in general. Can someone offer me some perspective:
-Is it a respectable idea to wait until after graduating UG in the spring to take the LSAT and apply for law school the following fall?
-If I do wait until next year (in June/October) to take the LSAT, is it likely that I'll become rusty and all my progress will regress?
