Delaying Until August LSAT
Currently, I’m signed up for the June LSAT but am worried that I am rushing into it. I took the February LSAT and got a 160. Since then, I went back to the basics, did some studying and scored a 168 on my first PT back. However, after that I scored a 160 and a 161 and I am worried that I might be “wasting” an LSAT by doing it in June since I don’t want to take more than 3 LSATs and am considering taking it in August.
Here are roughly my pros and cons:
June
Pros: (1) would allow me to start on my applications while I wait for score, (2) would be earlier enough to allow me to prepare for the September or October one if I needed to retake, and (3) many of the errors I am making now are errors that I pick up on blind review / can increase as I get my stamina back up.
Cons: (1) potential to not increase much (wasting my second attempt) and (2) only one month more of studying to get to a consistently higher score.
August
Pros: (1) two more months of studying and potential to get more consistent, and (2) can help with confidence
Cons: (1) would limit me to taking October since I think September would be too soon (thus, applying later) (2) summer gets more complicated and I’m worried that studying might get more inconsistent, (3) probs will dedicate less time to applications.
Appreciate any thoughts and considerations!!

im in the same spot! i think ill be pushing it back, rushing doesn't seem like the best and most efficient way for me to achieve my goals. if you really do want to apply on time and get studying done, it would honestly be good practice to discipline yourself with focusing on your responsibilities throughout the summer and if you realize you're ahead of schedule then you even get some time to relax!
I would post pone until you're consistently scoring where you want to be.
