I'm taking the October Flex and will be studying full-time until then. My average is 162 and my goal score is 168 with a floor in the mid 160s. I'm starting to hit a wall around -7 RC, -5 LG, and -5 LR. If anyone else is in a similar place and would be interested in coordinating PTs so we can BR and review them together, please let me know. I'm planning to take PTs every other day until my test on October 8. I've been doing even numbered PTs and am up to PT70 so the schedule would probably consistent of even-numbered PTs from 72 to 88. Thanks!
I have a similar dilemma and have thought about it quite a bit the last few days so hope this helps:
I’m leaning towards delaying my test and waiting a year to apply. I had originally planned on taking the October and November LSAT. I knew I wouldn’t make much progress in between but figured I’d have two chances to hit my average. I studied for four months total and discovered 7sage with two months to go and always wished I had more time to move through the curriculum, and especially to fool proof LG. I ended up 3 points lower than my average on October and now I’m realizing I don’t want to burn the rest of my PTs to cram for November and probably get a similar score. If I wait until next year’s application cycle, I can take February and April or April and June and I feel pretty good about adding 5-6 points to my score in that time. I too had been considering deferring anyway depending on the state of the pandemic. Im not thrilled about waiting another year but I know my application will be much stronger if I can apply as soon as they open next September and have several more months to raise my score.
If you’re not happy with where you’re scoring right now, I think there’s mostly upside to waiting until next cycle if it won’t significantly impede your long term plans. This seems to be an ultra competitive application cycle so January may be a bit late if you’re on the edge of getting in and/or want to maximize scholarships. You’d probably have to make a big jump between now and then to compensate for applying later. Even if next year is as competitive you’ll be stacking the deck in your favor with more time to raise your score and applying early. If you are happy with your scoring, you could consider taking November to get a first attempt out of the way and re-evaluate when the score comes in.
