Do I still write August?

Hey... this summer has been whacked for my personal life and has gotten in the way of studying. So far, I've done 6 PTs. I typically score -12 on RC (rough life ik), anywhere from -8 to -3 on LR, and as long as I can get through the questions, perfect on Logic Games. Yet, the highest PT I've done was a 157. Today was a 155 (I didn't finish LG). What should I do? My Mom (who is not a lawyer nor knows anything about the LSAT truly), suggested that I write August and she would pay for October. Get two writes done. My struggle is, do I even try for August still? Please advise. Thank u sm.

    Also - my goal is at minimum a 164.

    I think there is time to improve your score in the next month if you really buckle down and strategically map out a good study plan. I think you should reevaluate when you're closer to the test. However, I think the better questions is not "should I drop August?" but instead "should I add October?" And the answer is yes, add October. So long as you aren't applying to Canadian schools, most American law schools take your highest score. It's okay if you take it twice.

    You're the only one who can answer that question. How bad do you want it?

    Thanks. I think I was just having a pity party for myself. I am applying to Canadian schools however but may take LSAC up on the new ~erase August and forget it ever happened~ plan
