I recently decided I want to apply to law school this coming autumn of 2026. I have never taken an LSAT and just started studying for the first time this month. My diagnostic score was a 154 but I hope to break at least a 165. Should I take the June LSAT even though I won't feel fully prepared by then, just to give it a shot and get a feel for the testing environment after some intensive studying over the next month? Or should I wait for the next August LSAT, when I'll feel much more well studied but I'll have less time to improve my score and I fear the testing anxiety of needing to get a good score quickly for applications may be a stressor. Do the top law schools get swayed by a potentially really low starting score even if you improved on your second or third attempts? Should I not risk having that potential low score on my score reports?
