I have this bookmarked not only for support - but for @"Nilesh S" advice last year for 0L prep to keep as a guideline for next summer if it still holds true during the nextcycle:)

If you're already aiming for nextcycle, there's no reason to take December when unprepared. I'm only taking December to have a chance of avoiding being forced into the nextcycle... that is what's driving my risk/reward calculations

You should research your target schools. I know that the majority of schools that I am applying to do not give you the option to start in the spring. Either you start in the fall, or wait for the nextcycle.

I'm not applying until nextcycle and I'm 99% sure I'll have to retake...but I just want to know! I'm not going to start studying again until next week no matter what. I needed the beak! But, good luck everyone!
It's my first too. I feel pretty bummed, but I'm still applying to see what happens. I'm also planning to retake in June as a backup (if I don't get in where I want to go, I plan to reapply nextcycle). Good luck and hope this helps!
I got a much lower score than I wanted. 157, and I was solidly PTing 163-165. I'm pretty bummed. I don't know exactly how it works. Can I wait to see where I get in and then decide to wait for the nextcycle and take the June lsat?
