Currently in need of some last minute advice right now. I took the June 2016 lsat and scored 163. I was averaging around a 166 during my practice tests before this so I immediately signed up to take this Sept exam.
However the studying for my second exam has been much harder than the first time around and I just can't seem to score better than 163-164, often times scoring below it.
I know the raw score between these scores is only a few points, and honestly I feel with the right logic games/ RC passages I can hit my goal of a 165. So should I still sit for the test on Saturday and hope for the best, or simply cancel now. If I dont feel confident I can always cancel my scores after, but I fear I may think I did well and actually got a lower score than before.
Would me canceling and applying within the next few weeks to my dream law school with my163 (Fordham their range is 161-165) be preferable, or should I at least try for a higher score? I would love to be a little higher in their range, but I fear getting a lower/ the same score would hurt my application.
I'm actually not totally sure what changed, which is whats really frustrating me.
My best guess is for the June Lsat I used an online Blueprint class, but for this round I used the Powerscore bibles and some newer prep tests. I'm guessing my major problem this time was doing each bible before starting a new one rather than splitting up my studying between the three sections. I also was putting a lot more stress on myself which led to a lot more anxiety which definitely hasn't helped
