To postpone?

edited February 2021 in General 456 karma

The deadline to postpone my February lsat is in a few days. I’m partially worried that I devoted too much time to RC and LR that I let my LG slip (previously a consistently -0 section). Now I score around -0 to -2 typically but have had some awful ones up to -6.

Is two weeks too short to bring my LG back up to -0 when I had been there before? I truly don’t want to postpone this exam for a second time (been pushing off since November lol & already have talked to work about taking off). I also have to extend my 7sage if I postpone til April as it will have been over a year. Am I just a bit burned out causing me to have lower LG sometimes? Part of it just seems to be that I have lower confidence in LG than I used to & so I waste more time than I used to which has lead to missing points/timing issues. I’m also not sure if my potential burnout would get any better if I study past a year for this exam, not sure if anyone has any thoughts on that.

Even with this sometimes lower LG, I’ve had some PTs turn out (a recent 175 with -2LG & a 178 with -0LG) but also some max lows for me (a recent 169). For context, I scored a 170 on my October exam which was lower than my average but I had a shitty test experience with noise & WiFi. My average over all PTs in the past year is 172.x, range 168-178.

    If there’s no need to take it in February, I would postpone so you can drill LG a bit long and go into the exam with more confidence. I find that studying with a time crunch really prevents me from absorbing what I need to.

    Thank you for everyone who submitted poll responses & @themommabear specifically for giving me a written out response!! Taking all of your responses together & speaking with my parents, I decided not to postpone a second time. So wish me luck on the feb exam! Going to work on my stress since that’s what I think is mainly holding me back. Thank you all!!

    @WouldRatherBeEating You definitely can bring it back up. I took half of October and all of November and December off completely before studying lightly for a few weeks for the January test. I still didn't hit my average of 176 on my score, but I still improved a point over October to a 174 in January. It comes back quick. You have got this, don't stress. Even if it doesn't work out, you have a 170 in the bank. Have you submitted apps yet?
