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.

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.

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!!
