Hello 7Sage Community((/p)
My LSAT journey has been and long rough road. I took the December 2017 LSAT and scored 155. I stopped studying for awhile and discovered 7Sage. I started the core curriculum and 7Sage helped open my eyes to how to correctly study for the LSAT. I started studying again mid-April 2019 while working full-time. I have been able to increase my PT score to 164. I signed up for the November 2019 test, but I am a splitter student (my gpa is 3.0) and I am considering rescheduling my test to February 2020. This would mean 4 years between completing my undergrad and entering law school. I am torn about taking the November test or cutting my hours as a server and subsequently taking the February 2020 test. Any thoughts?

What's your goal score? Would cutting your hours as a server negatively impact you financially? Are you hoping to enroll fall of 2020? Can you wait another cycle to fall of 2021?
Don't take it until you're ready. If you're serious about 170 as a target score than I'd say your average needs to be at least within 3 points of a 170 and ideally above that. Once you're there, then go ahead and sign up for a take.
Whichever one you choose, we believe in you!
I would say that since you're already signed up for November and your boss is cool with cutting back, keep cranking away at studying and see if you're PTing a little above 170 right beforehand. If not, maybe withdraw and aim for a later administration. February is pretty late to be taking the LSAT and applying this cycle, especially as a splitter, so if you don't feel like you can hit your goal or at least improve a few points, I'd say consider deferring another cycle. Don't worry about being 4+ years out of undergrad - another year won't negatively affect you, but a higher score will definitely positively benefit you. Good luck!
My goal is a 170. I recently talked to my boss about cutting my hours and see was understanding about it. I was hoping to enroll fall of 2020, but if a potential higher score mean taking another year off and enrolling fall of 2021 then I will definitely do so.
