Take or Postpone?

Post by Arad » Fri May 30, 2014 6:24 pm

I have been taking practice tests every other day and my average is a 171. My highest 3 scores have been a 174, a 176, and 178 but I have not included them in my average.

I'm a splitter (3.4x Science Major) and my goal is to get T14+, ideally Penn.

I am not sure if I should postpone my test date and continue studying or if I should take the June LSAT with the option of retaking it in September.

I intend on applying ED to whatever school I think I have the best shot at.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

166 - 178

My most recent scores are:
174, 169, 170, 170, 172, 170

To add: the 166 was an exam that I took without any warm up where I missed 8 on the first LR section

I'd say that you are right on the edge where you can do both and still make a good decision. I say take it.

Go for it now then retake as necessary. you need a 171 as your highest score. Take it three times this cycle if you need to. If u get a 171 right here and now, enjoy day drinking and being worry free for the next 6 months. If you fall short you're all good. Make it happen in the fall

No need to read any of the conversation above- POSTPONE.
