August 2021 or October 2021

Hi everyone!

I have been studying almost full-time for a few months now, and I have scored a 161 on the most two recent PT I have taken (PT 56 & 58) with a blind review scores of 172 and 170 respectively. I need at least a score of 166 for my target score (UBC) and I am planning on getting a tutor to help me with RC as I have not been able to improve that section by myself.

But, with the deadline for August coming up tomorrow, I am not sure if I will be able to get a 166 for August and I am considering registering for October test date instead. What are your thoughts? I know JY recommends signing up for the LSAT once your average is above your target score which clearly is not my case. Should I sign up for both? Or just try to get my score as high as possible for October?

Thank you in advance!

I'll say don't Test day pressure is something that also has to be mastered.

Personally I would recommend not waste a chance— you can only take the LSAT three times a year. Also every LSAT score will be released to the schools you apply. But you can sign up for both and wait until the withdraw deadline to see if you're going to go for the August LSAT.
