Hi everyone -

I've been studying on and off for the LSAT for over a year now, but began studying more seriously for the exam in December. I'm planning on applying by mid-September for the upcoming cycle and am registered to take the exam in June.

I'd like to get a 175+, but I have been frustratingly hovering around ~171 for the last few months.

Few questions:

1) Should I plan on taking the exam in August as well? I was hoping to focus exclusively on applications after June (and get a much-needed break from prep), but I am willing to take some extra time to get the score I want. Since it'll take a few weeks for the score to come out, I am not sure if I should just continue to study during that period.

2) Would it be worth investing in a tutor this late into May for the June exam?

Thanks everyone!
