I'm also taking the Feb LSAT. My original plan was to take it in June or October and to apply next year but I realized that there isn't anything holding me back from applying this year other than this exam. I only registered for a full course a few weeks ago and I'm decently into the curriculum. Since I quit my job, I have plenty of time to study. My only concern is that I don't want to stress myself out too much getting my applications together so late in the game. But I figure that if I don't manage to get the score I want in February, I can always return to my original plan, re-take it in June and apply next year.
I've been averaging in the mid-150s on the prep tests and I don't know what to do. I have been studying fiendishly for the last two months and my scores haven't improved. I really, really need a higher score and with test day only a month away I'm having a hard time keeping my spirits up and my head in the game. Does anyone have advice for how I could maybe approach this in a new, more useful way? Thanks, guys.
Thanks for the tips, guys. I think I'm just going to have to what I can for now and hope for the best on Feb 6th. While it would be ideal if I could postpone and have more time to study, waiting until the next application cycle to apply might set me further back than a lower LSAT score would. If I don't get into law school anywhere, I will of course take the LSAT again and re-apply. But otherwise, if I get into one of my safety schools, I might be able to transfer after my first year.
