Hey Paige. If by around 170, you mean you would be satisfied with a 167ish on your actual exam then I think it is totally doable! On average I think scores vary +/-4 points on the actual exam. If you are practicing at an average of 163ish between the three scores you provided then the best case scenario would be for you to realistically get a 167. HOWEVER. This tends not to be the case when individuals take the LSAT. Because of nerves and stress one can expect to score slightly lower than what he/she was practicing at. I would not be surprised if you realistically scored anywhere between 159-163. That being said, I know you have been studying since July and your diagnostic was a 158. How have you been reviewing? Have you been using the Blind Review method mentioned by JY? If you want to safely score in the 170's I recommend you withdrawing from the December and taking it in JUNE. The LSAT is a monster and I think taking a year to study is appropriate. Remember as JY recommends, don't pick the test date first and then try to make the studying fit. There is still plenty of room for growth and improvement. What materials have you been relying on?
