Personally, I would recommend taking both if you have the time/means! I took it for the first time in January knowing I was 100% going to take it again. Having had the test day experience has made me feel more confident in myself and allowed me to figure out what I struggle with most (for me, that's mental endurance- not a problem in my PTs, but definitely something in the actual test)! Plus, I feel way better knowing that theoretically I could apply to schools, even if it's not the score I want.

I don't think it matter for the general registration, but I would recommend scheduling your test as soon as the slots open up! I am taking the June LSAT on a Wednesday evening because of that rip.

You're doing great!! Honestly the drills have helped my score more than anything else (went from score in the high 150s for PTs to high 160s/1 170+), so don't give up hope! The drills have really helped me figure out what I don't know so that I can go back and study up on specific sections instead of just going through the whole curriculum.

Here are a few things I learned from taking it remotely in January- some might already be common knowledge but it was new to me!

You must be in a room with four walls and a door (seems silly to have to write it out but I was planning on taking it alone in my 1 br apt at my desk in the living room but had to take it in my br instead!)

-I would err on the safe side and put any blankets/sheets over any open shelving (think bookshelves, possibly nightstands). It made it a lot quicker when I gave the proctor a once over of the room

-I'd avoid wearing clothes (specifically pants) with pockets if you can to make checking in to the test easier

-graphing paper for your scratch paper was fine when I took it (I was worried it would be against the rules but that could totally have just been me lol!)

If I think of any more I'll add them here. Good luck - you've got this!!
