Start studying for the LSAT early!! Do not compromise yourself by applying with a low score. I firmly believe with enough dedication everyone can test into the 160’s.

Starting to study in June for Aug, Oct, or Nov tests in preparation of attending 1L the following year will be really tough. Everyone says start early and give yourself plenty of time and it’s really the truth! 7Sage, BluePrint, and LSAT done right (tutoring) was the best for me. I wish I had started using the LSAT…
