First practice LSAT 169- what now?

I just took my first LSAT practice test (official # 7 I believe), and scored a 169.

I am majoring in biology, so my GPA isn't great (3.34), and I would love to just kill the LSAT. Any advice would be great, especially about the best self-study materials for popping my score up into the 170s.

I am sitting for the exam in December.

Thanks!

Do more tests to get 170 +
I suggest power score bibles

This would probably be better in the LSAT forum.

What was your section breakdown? It's hard to give study advice without that. Do know, though, that if you had a 169 as your diagnostic (and you were strict about timing, not taking breaks, etc) then you're in great shape to get a really good score if you put a lot of effort into studying for the next two months.

Since you're still in undergrad, see if you can bump that GPA up too (take extra CC classes at schools offering A+s, just do it before you graduate or it won't count). Yes, LSAT matters more than GPA, but no reason to be a splitter unless you have to (aka, it's too late because you've graduated).
