Currently, I’m signed up for the June LSAT but am worried that I am rushing into it. I took the February LSAT and got a 160. Since then, I went back to the basics, did some studying and scored a 168 on my first PT back. However, after that I scored a 160 and a 161 and I am worried that I might be “wasting” an LSAT by doing it in June since I don’t want to take more than 3 LSATs and am considering taking it in August.

Here are roughly my pros and cons:

June

Pros: (1) would allow me to start on my applications while I wait for score, (2) would be earlier enough to allow me to prepare for the September or October one if I needed to retake, and (3) many of the errors I am making now are errors that I pick up on blind review / can increase as I get my stamina back up.

Cons: (1) potential to not increase much (wasting my second attempt) and (2) only one month more of studying to get to a consistently higher score.

August

Pros: (1) two more months of studying and potential to get more consistent, and (2) can help with confidence

Cons: (1) would limit me to taking October since I think September would be too soon (thus, applying later) (2) summer gets more complicated and I’m worried that studying might get more inconsistent, (3) probs will dedicate less time to applications.

Appreciate any thoughts and considerations!!
