…intensive LSAT study, 15-20 hours per week. If you have to retake it, retake it: if you have a 3.3, the difference between a 167 and a 171 is astronomical. I would highly recommend working part-time to give studying the proper amount of time, focus, and energy, even if it means taking out a loan or moving back in…

…the study process by the end. Also, don’t be afraid to retake LSAT- . I was so close to just applying with a lower score for the sake of getting my apps in early. Thankfully, I didn’t. If you know you are capable of a much better score than you received on the first go, roll the dice and take it again. This was the…
