Does it make sense to apply to a school with your June LSAT score, in the interests of taking advantage of submitting your app early, with the expectation of scoring 5-7 points higher in October (big reach, I know, but hypothetically)?
Alternatively, would it be better to take it first in October, with December as the inevitable back-up, and submit apps in January? The benefit would be a stronger first score, since I know I'd perform better if I took it in October rather than June, but the cost is the submission date. If I were to do this, would it be possible to submit my app after my October score, regardless of what I get, and update the school with December (to mitigate the cost of relatively late submission) or should I wait until after?
Thanks in advance
Well, I recently finished the 7sage course, I'll be done with the Trainer this week, and will start full PTing +BR next week. While I've done roughly 20 PTs all over the place since I first started over a year ago, I plan on starting fresh from PT 35 up to 77 (theoretically will take 5 months at a rough rate of 2-3 PTs a week), going in a linear fashion and squeezing in some chances to take tests over again-------until I figure out some better approach (If anybody's got a better outline, I'd love to hear it).
Do you have an idea of where the cutoff between "old" and "recent" PTs is? Just in the interest of getting a representation of how I would potentially perform on test day.
