To take or not to take: FEB LSAT Forum

[mm89]

So I have a 165 from October. I am registered for the February test, which will be my 3rd take. I am currently PTing in the 173-176 range. I haven't had as much time as I anticipated to study and I know if I had more time, I could score higher. For sure.

I have sent in some applications, indicating I am taking the February test, so that they hold my application until they get my score, just so it is considered submitted on time.

What I am questioning is whether to take the February test or not. I, from past experience and others comments, will probably get a 170 max, which is under my target. This will have been pointless because I could have saved my third take for June to bump up my score for $$. But that means I probably won't get into the schools I want with a 165. Or I could do good and it will have been all worth it, which means I have a chance at schools I want to go to.

Any thoughts?

You're PTing in the 173-6 range, but you think you'll probably only hit 170 max? Are you taking those points off to account for test day anxiety? Based on your past two test experiences?

The other thing to ask yourself is: How set are you on going to law school this fall? Is that more important to you than guaranteeing admission into your desired schools, along with the possibility of scholarship money? If you wait until the June test and apply next cycle, you'll also have the advantage of being able to apply as soon as applications open in September.

I'm leaning towards telling you to wait, but the right decisions really depends on your priorities and how confident you are that you could do a lot better in June.
