Got my October score back, and it was more or less what I expected - 172. However, my average for the last 10 full, timed 5-section PTs was 176 and I hadn't score below 173 for at least 15 prior PTs. I slept very poorly the night before test day and was primarily caffeine-powered. I'm shooting for Stanford, and 172 puts me directly on the 50th percentile LSAT. My GPA is 4.03. My question is, if you were in my position would you re-take in December? I have both admissions and potential scholarships in mind. Thanks for the input.

Took me about 15 PTs to start averaging where i wanted to be (low 170s) and then another 5 PTs to bump that up a few points and get consistency to around +/- 3 pts
Question - are the pages stapled together on the real LSAT? Are you allowed to pull them apart to put the 2 pages side by side? I find it very time consuming to have my diagram on the first page and most of the questions on the second page, and have to switch back and forth constantly
Thanks for the pointers guys. I think cannibalizing old tests will be my best option, since I have the pdfs for every PT and definitely will not get to the majority of them. I usually score near perfect on LR so maybe I'll just alternate between RC and LG from older tests. Unfortunately the old RC is pretty easy compared to the newer ones....
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I'm wondering what procedure people use for adding an extra section in. Do you always do a particular one, like LG, or mix it up? How do you choose where to stick it in? One thing I'm concerned about is that I won't devote my full effort to it if I know which section is unscored. I just want to make my practice testing as representative as possible of the real LSAT
I've been taking one PT per day (plus one or two extra LG sections), 5-6x per week for the last 3 weeks and I can't say I'm experiencing any indicators of burnout. Like, compared to exam time in undergrad, studying 4-5 hours per day isn't too bad if you don't have many other obligations. That being said I'm scoring in the 170s so review time isn't bad, and I'm mostly trying to improve consistency at this point
Haha thanks guys
