Should I retake the LSAT?

[Orsorum]

Took it this October, I'm applying next October. I got a 165 this time, I didn't study.

I am wondering, if I have the opportunity to bone up a bit more, maybe spend some time each weekend before the June LSAT, is it worth it to retake it?

My cum GPA is a 3.33, major GPA is also at a 3.33, I'm in my 3rd year at the Univ. of Washington. I'm aiming for mid-to-upper top-tier (not top 10, but top 30).

Cheers!
Nate

I would say probably not...unless you felt that a particular type of question caught you off gaurd and by studying that type of question you could work either more quickly or accurately through a given section.

See, that's the thing - none of them really caught me off guard. I was slightly tired when I took it, and, again, I hadn't prepared as much as I could have.

It's really a tossup, I think.

More thoughts?

Cheers!

You know yourself much better than any of us here.

I got a 165 and also know I can do better and will take it in June, so I say go for it.
