August LSAT is my first official LSAT attempt, I got 165. This score is 5 more points than the 75th percentile of my target school. I think chances to be admitted is quite sure. So right now my question is that should I retake the LSAT to secure more scholarship? I checked the 509 report, I think maybe I can get more than half scholarship. But it is still too expensive for me, I need the full scholarship.

So here is the question:

1.Go ahead to apply with my current score. The good thing of this is that I save time and don't have to do it again. And also I can submit early, I think this would increase my chance of scholarship, but I am not sure, pls correct me if I am wrong. The bad thing is that my score is not super high enough to secure full scholarship. But, wait, am I wrong to think in this way. The higher above 75th percentile, the bigger scholarship?

So if I get higher score, then apply on Nov 2, is my chance to get full scholarship biggest?

The bad thing about this plan is I retake, but not good score, then I am late in applying. And then does it mean I screw myself?

Really need advice!

The law school I try to apply is not T14, just local law school. I took the LSAT in August, but it seems like not very good. I'm thinking of taking LSAT in October, and the score will be released around Nov 2. I really need the scholarship, it is too late?

If my score from August is over the 75 percentile of the scores of the applicants, should I go ahead to apply with this score in order to increase my chance of getting scholarship? Or should I wait until November 2?

Really need advice.

My internet connection is fine. But the video just cannot be played. I refreshed the page many many times. It is so frustrated. And I have so much limited time for studying, it just wastes my time.

I found correlation statement and causal statement are quite easy to confuse in LSAT. I think it is good to come up with list that LSAT usually makes those statements. I can have a go first.

1/correlation

sth correlate/associate with sth

sb find correlation/association between sth and sth

2/causation

sth lead to sth

sth contribute to sth

sth cause sth

The list is not complete. Any input is welcome.

I don't get this. I think the method is used a lot when people argue in everyday life. How come this is flawed?
