Travel Immediately Before LSAT? Forum

[WorthlessDegree]

Hey, all!

I'm thinking of postponing to June, mainly because my LG has been inconsistent. When I go -0 on LG, I'm hitting the mid 170's, but I'm also wont to totally screw one up and go -5, dropping me to the high 160's. Because I know I'm capable of doing better, I'm considering postponing to June.

Unfortunately, I've already committed to going to Europe for most of the month of May. I'd be returning two weeks before the LSAT, which SEEMS like enough time to me, but others have disagreed.

TL;DR-- would it be better to take the LSAT in February, when I don't feel I've put enough time in, or in June, when I only have two weeks between returning from abroad and taking the exam.


Thanks in advance!!!

What? I thought you mean your flight ticket is the afternoon before the test. In no way your schedule would affect your performance. If anything, worrying about the test during your travel may negatively affect your experience.

I think as far as time difference adjustment, etc. is concerned, traveling is totally fine, but I would be weary if you know your study schedule will be interrupted. Obviously everyone is different, but I had a two-week business trip at the end of May before the June test last year, and my studying was really impacted, resulting in a test-day score about six points lower than my PT average before the trip (maybe this would have happened anyway, who knows). I am by no means an expert, never having quite hit the score I wanted, but I did find that scheduling to be somewhat unfortunate. If you think you can keep up a study schedule in Europe, totally go for it (but also, like, enjoy Europe).
