January LSAT vs November

sarahsparks3636

I am not getting the score I want, and I plan to take the November LSAT. Should I wait and take the January LSAT to have more time to study? I have read that I will have lower chances of getting scholarships and admission because many schools are rolling admissions. However, wouldn't a lower score versus a higher score also give me fewer scholarship opportunities?

Yes waiting would be a great idea! Wait to schedule your test until you are consistently scoring the way you want to on test day, on your PT's. Worst case you can always wait a cycle and prep all your essays to be one of the first applicants next fall.

Another option would be to take it and apply with the LSAT score that you have, and then let admissions know that you will be retaking the LSAT in January.

This is what I am going to do. Also with an addendum explaining I had a death in the family few days before the test and other personal stuff going on.
