I'll be 23 when I enter law school (22 now), though was trying to enter back when I would have been 20. Ended up getting a couple good years of extra work experience, which has definitely helped with the LSAT.

The main issue that I can't resolve right now is if I should take the September LSAT, and if it would even matter. It'll be my fourth one, my priors score are: 153/160/161, but these scores are from 2 years ago. Back then, I was studying for the LSAT about 5 hours/week for a few months (don't remember exactly), and I took around 15 PTs (25 if you count retakes). I was also using the LSAT trainer, and Blueprint.

After taking some time to work full time and advance my career, I decided to take the LSAT again, and started studying in early May of this year. I quit my job, and studied full time for the LSAT with 7sage. So far I've completed every single lesson, and a large portion of the drills, as well as taken 8 practice tests in the last month/month and a half. And so far, my score hasn't increased at all. For whatever reason (not blaming 7sage at all, their lessons have been great and easy to understand) my score hasn't gotten past the 158-162 range. This is with blind review and every other suggestion I've come across thus far (I've also taken some of Sami's tutoring lessons). Unfortunately, taking a different or later LSAT isn't really an option, I need my score before October for law school purposes.

So this makes me arrive at my final question, especially considering that the LSAT refund deadline is tomorrow - should I not take the September LSAT, and instead just use my score from two years ago?

I've been studying this year full time since very early May, have completed almost every lesson available with over 80% score (most I might miss 1), and have taken several PTs. I studied 2 years ago for about 5 hours/week, across a few months.

As the title says, I studied and took the LSAT 2 years ago or so, and got a 160/161 on my second and third LSATs, respectively. These were consecutive tests. I decided to continue working full time and take the LSAT at a later date, and since I wasn't in a rush, to try again for the law schools I wanted (close to T14). Well, come 2 years later, and my score on all of my practice tests with 7sage are all in the 160 range. 7sage is the third or fourth study material that I've used over the past couple years (LSAT trainer and some other stuff).

Is it worth it to take the September LSAT? Taking another LSAT at a different time isn't really an option, unfortunately :(

Please tell me what you think! I have plenty of other options for law school, so I still plan on applying no matter what.

Thanks!
