Hi guys! Just a quick question, as I am personally struggling with making the decision of taking Dec exam or postpone till June. As the whole world tells you to "just take it," idk if i "just" wanna take it...
Lets say I score a 160-162 this dec (no where near my goal)
Retake in June, and get in the upper 160s, say 167-169 range.
Would the admissions be dubious about such a jump? Is that something I have to explain or is that a given that I worked my butt off? Idk, there seems to be a lot of talk about not wanting to "scar" your records with a lower score, vs getting a much higher one later...
Any thoughts?
thanks guys

Thanks again
Getting a top score in June allowed me to get my apps ready early for rolling admissions. And if you don't like your june score, you've still got sept/oct and can get your apps in early with that.
Below Yale nobody cares about one or two retakes and they'll go for your highest score. A jump of more than 5-7 points just warrants a short LSAT addendum, nothing more.
