Re: 180 or retake
It depends on the person, OP. See, in my case, I don't have designs on biglaw for the most part. At first I was thinking that I still have to go to T14 no matter what, but no one here will say that except a few people. The big thing is about minimizing risk. Right now I've got a good number of decent schools lined up that wouldn't leave me with a lot of debt, and I plan on practicing in a medium to small sized city. So in my case, a 166 isn't a horrible thing. If my goal was biglaw though, yes, retaking would be preferable.
You also have to remember, this is TOP law schools.com

Re: 180 or retake
This site is called "top law schools" for a reason. Top law schools want top scores.
I took two years ago and did alright- I scored mid 160's. But my GPA is better than that, the legal market sucks, and I'm already in a lot of debt from UG. Each point matters so much and the LSAT IS learnable- so yeah, retake anything under low 170's (at least) makes sense to people on "Top Law Schools."

Good to see you on TLS20130312 wrote:OP has a 158. I figured it was someone with a 170+ complaining about the retake shtick.
You got a long way to go, kid.
