Hey
I got a 152 on my Oct LSAT unfortunately and I’m looking for advice. Do I try again in January for a score boost or do I apply next cycle. I’m applying in Canada so most apps are due on the 1st of Nov. my apps are done and my undergrad I’m currently in is Engineering. Is it worth doing a masters/ work experience then revisiting law school after or try to push myself for the January one
I’m looking for I guess things to do differently if I am writing in Janurary. Is it worth it to try especially when it will be a blind score being attached to my applications. I was scoring consistently 160 on Pts leading up to it so I don’t know what happened tbh.
I’m just upset with myself so any help would be extremely appreciated, I also don’t know if I should cancel my score or not or leave it.

Hey Matt. I can't speak a ton on next-steps—it sounds like there's a lot more to unpack re: timeline, risk tolerance, future goals, etc. However, I can speak on my experience in improving scores by "doing things differently".
I boosted from 163->172 from my June write to October. A bit longer of a timeline than what you're looking at, but I can't say I was studying at above 65% capacity through my last few months. Use your analytics and drill the hell out of question types you are getting wrong. Master the 4/5 difficulties through intense, time-constrained drilling and let your mastery flow into the easier questions to save your valuable time. Read more complicated literature, scientific papers, economics articles, etc. in your free time to have RC feel like a natural extension of your day. Emulate test conditions when doing PTs... any difference in testing environment / timing from your test day is another thing that has the potential to throw you off.
Over everything, just relax and remind yourself that you have a brain capable of at least 160, just need to transfer that to test day. I burnt lots of good time feeling sorry for myself instead of addressing my weaknesses. Considering you're consistently at 160, a few months of intentional, efficient studying can probably bring you higher than you would think. It did for me.
