just received my Oct score, had a 6 points jump but still below some of my reach schools' median. I see my improvement and am pretty sure that I can do better if do it one more time. Now my personal statement and everything else is done, so I will be able to concentrate.
Question is, does it look bad in front of admissions committee when they see my score from three consecutive testing date? I know this is a stupid question but I'm a little concerned. There are probably some other test takers just like me who is planning another run.
Still, I am kinda happy for my improvement. Wish you all reached your targeting score! If not, see you on December 7th :)

Yes, I'm re-taking in December, too. I didn't end up taking October though.
The 2-year period starts from your first LSAT score. For example, if your first one was October 2013, you can take the LSAT two more times before October 2015.
I think it is two years starting from your first take
What do they mean when they say a "two year period"? Do the two years start from when you take your first LSAT or from the January of the year you take your first LSAT?
Thanks Katherine. Are you also considering a 3rd try in December?
I think if you are confident that you will score higher than your 6-point improvement, taking December might improve your applications. However, there is a 3-test limit every 2 years. So, if you unfortunately don't do as well, there might be that risk. As someone who already has more than 1 score, I'm in the same boat. Good luck with your studying!
