Hi! I'm also aiming to break 170 by December, I was planning on taking the September exam, but I'm still only scoring in the low160s. Feel free to message me if you're still looking for a study buddy in NYC.
My goal is University of Toronto, but it still have a long way to go. The avg LSAT score for Uft is 167 (CRAZY). I'm scoring in the low160s, so hopefully by the time October rolls around I can gain a few more points to reach that pinnacle.
How are your PTs coming along? I've been aiming for Oct test but seeing my scores plateauing low160s, I may have to postpone to Dec. I'll most likely apply to UBC, U of T (only if I can improve on my score), Osgood and maybe Uvic.
