Should I take the February test? Want to go to LS this year but not hitting target score Forum

I took the December test and got a shitty 160. I was averaging around 164 at that time.

I registered for the February test and am still pretty much averaging the same, although I have a couple more weeks to study intensely.

On one hand, I REALLY want to go to law school this year (T14 only), but I am also on my second take and am scared of wasting it only to be left with a third take that would freak me out.

In this position, would you guys go all out right now and try to take the test in February or postpone it one year until you get your PT average up?

I have a kinda shitty job and my family is really pressuring to go this year

Wait. If you're not scoring around where you want to be, keep practicing until you are. If you're scoring around the same for your PT, you should for sure wait and study more.

I'd show your family some articles and explain to them the importance of the LSAT. Heck, have them do some problems and let them understand how difficult it is. I initially was going to take the test in October of 2015, and have pushed it back all the way to June of 2016; my folks weren't too happy about that, but after having them do a few LR problems and a logic game, they understood why I needed the extra time
