Retake?

Help

Cold diagnostic- 143
January score- 159
Still debating if I should retake in March because I scored more or less around my PT score, and I don’t know if I can improve in a month’s time. Can give only the March one, none else. Skeptic in as to scoring lower the second time around. I don’t have a great resume or softs, so I was wondering if I should use this time between now and June to work on that instead. I’m an international student and my grad score is in %age. I topped in my college, though. Advice appreciated.
TIA

    Law schools only look at the highest scores. Since you will have taken the LSAT only twice with the March administration, shouldn't matter much even if you get a lower score.

    Soft factors matter, but they are called "soft" for a reason. LSAT would be a far better bet.

    I improved from 157 to 161 in 6 weeks, so if you can identify your weaknesses and tackle them, I believe there's definitely improvement to be had in a month.

    @joseluisglez , that’s awesome! Do you mind sharing the resources used and your study schedule? I tried doing I prep test I had done way back in October, but I kinda remember the LR answers, and RC, too. Doesn’t paint a true picture, so I’m worried I might improve.

    I hear you! Any advice on how to go about it? Thank you!
