  i don't think results come out in 3 weeks.... and do you think you're motivated enough to study while being unsure of your Dec results? How do you feel?

  @DEC_LSAT yeah idk why I said 3 weeks haha I think it comes out January 4th. I feel okay about the test but idk if I should take off a whole month while I wait for the results or not. Tough decision. That's why I was hoping to get some other opinions

  Are scores really released Jan 4? I wrote last December and received my score the same month. Also, if you google "how long to find out lsat score" google responds with "about three weeks". The article is from 2010, however.

  Take a week off and get back to studying afterwards. Use the break to both enjoy yourself and to really get moving on your applications, if you haven't finished them already.
  
  It'll be hard at first to study when you don't yet have your scores. But really try to remember your goal score. Don't avoid doing anything that could potentially be vital in getting you there. If you get a score you're happy with, you won't really regret having studied while waiting for it. If you don't hit your goal score and haven't studied with just over a month to prepare for Feb., you'll definitely regret it.

  Focus on your applications and personal statement. Think of it this way, you're likely going to spend about a month writing your PS and applying. You have about 2 months until applications need to be submitted (for most schools). So, you may as well spend the next 3-4 weeks working on your applications and PS. That way, if you end up scoring a 165+, you'll be ready to apply and will not have wasted a month studying.
  You could also do some light review + work on applications.

  Thanks for all the feedback guys. I think I'm going to start working on my apps this week and then also add in LSAT studying starting next week again just in case I would have to retake. I'm going to try to do both at the same time until the scores get released.
