I left this question in another discussion, but figured it would be more appropraite to create a new thread, as I am sure many are asking themselves this same question. Here's my case:

So I was PTing between a 159 and a 162 toward the end of my prep. I got a 158 and was really hoping for a 160 or above. I feel like a 2-3 point increase could make a reasonable difference in scholarship money, which is why I would be willing to take it again. This test was a little bit off considering the virus game (which I surprisingly didn't do so poorley on) and the RC (wich I did way below my average). What do you guys think? Should I retake in Dec.??

FYI: this would be my third time. I canceled my first score.

I am a little bummed out after receiving my December LSAT score. I got a 158 in September and a 154 in December (I was really looking foward to scoring a 160 or above; not sure what happened). So, I have two questions: how badly do you think this will effect my chances in getting into top tier law schools and scholarship opportunities? Do you think this drop requires an addendum?

I am an URM, if this helps.

Would love to hear some feedback.
