I need to get this ingrained in my head. Hopefully 7sage can help me see why the other 4 answers are wrong. I tend to find some sort of reasoning that makes the 4 wrong answers look good to me.

Hi, I think that's a great question. From my understanding, it used to be that they either averaged or take the higher the two. I'm not quite sure if many schools are averaging scores now. Since schools are ranking-focused, they would want to choose the highest score. But I'm wandering if the second take (let's say you score lower) will diminish your chances even though you had a better score the first time around. It feels like a gamble.

I would like to join! I need people to bounce off ideas and such when it comes to law school, lsat, and the application process. I feel so alone in this right now but I am excited to be on this journey. At the very least, it would be nice to talk to someone about this journey :smile:

I’m interested as well!

Does anyone know if the Jan test 2021 is within the law school application deadline for fall 2021?

Check with your desired school admission's dates. It takes about 3 weeks for scores to be sent out after test day. Most schools I want to attend have a deadline of Feb. 15 or later. So I know I can take it a last time in Jan.
