Hello, I'm just frantically trying to make a last-minute decision about the October LSAT. I've only truly started studying for the LSAT a couple weeks ago and it mostly involved reading the official LSAT Superprep intro and the Powerscore Logic Games bible (which I've still not finished). My first actual timed LSAT score (just practice, not official) turned out to be a 168. I missed only a few questions in the logical reasoning sections combined, did rather well on the reading comprehension as well, but botched the logic games section (missed like 9 out of the 24 or so). I believe I only did so because of a lack of practiced familiarity with the logic games section (despite my initial studying and understanding of diagramming patterns) and the time limit (including resulting anxiety affecting my concentration).
I recently purchased the Powerscore Reading Comprehension bible and a book of official tests and am already signed up for the October LSAT. I've already requested my letters of recommendation, as well. However, I'm thinking it would be a good idea to postpone until December and get a solid higher score instead of a lower score, retake, and/or cancellation. My LSDAS GPA is about a 3.48 now, I'm a senior undergraduate, and I was hoping I might be able to get into the T14 or T6, hopefully with scholarship money to the lower T14 or schools right behind the T14. So...
Do you think I should wait until the December LSAT and should I be able to improve significantly in the mean-time with focused practice? Is December too late these days for scholarship money at upper-tier schools? Thank you.
