I scored a 153 on the August LSAT and I'm taking the October LSAT. I know 153 is an average score but I'm just scared I won't get accepted into my law school options and I'm not feeling to confident (because I studied less for the October LSAT). I want to have all my applications in by November 1st so I have a higher chance of getting in. I have a pretty decent GPA (3.81 and 4.0 Major GPA) and extracurricular but I feel the LSAT would hold me back. Should I consider taking a later LSAT and sending out my score to schools after?

Hi! I took the August LSAT in person because I thought it was pencil & paper. If the format was your only concern then both options are about equal (since they are both the same system and format) so pick whatever you feel most comfortable with. If the distractions were your concern then I would pick in-person. However, this may vary at different locations as my testing center the lady monitoring kept making a lot of noise as she was trying to clean as people would leave. It was really annoying and I felt my house would have been more comfortable and quiet. I will be taking the September LSAT tomorrow at home because of this reason.
