Yeah don't quickly burn through the fresh materials you have. I would say to go back and re look at older PT/materials that you've gone through before. Use those to get back into the groove of things (you most likely don't remember EVERYTHING on previously used things) and then use your fresh materials leading up to game day.

agreed 100% with this. just retake old PTs and when it's best for you, get back into the fresh material.

I got a 165 this February 2016, but I believe I can realistically get a 168+ with just a little studying. I am registered for the June LSAT. However, this is over two months away! I have limited materials and really wish the next LSAT were in April or something.

How can I spend the next painstakingly-long period of time without burning through my resources? Would it be reasonable to not hardcore study until May? Improving just a few points would be icing on the cake to pair with my GPA.

Don't put off studying - the sooner you get into it, the better. Like others have said, I would recommend saving your fresh materials for the last month of prep. That being said, I'm sure there's plenty of old material that might seem familiar when you redo it, but for which you won't remember the answers. Work through old preptests and focus on identifying and covering your weaknesses. If there are any question types or game types that you know you dislike/struggle with, drill those first. Once you start nearing the 170 region, the margin of error gets smaller, and you have to work on your weaknesses to see improvements. Good luck!
