I don't know if this is the right place to discuss, but I'm feeling uncertain as to whether I should take the August LSAT. I got a 170 in June, and while I'm happy with it, I know that every point matters and June was my first time taking it––I started study in mid-April with LSAT Demon, up from my 163 diagnostic––so I feel that I can improve. My LSAT will also be the key of my application since my CAS cumulative GPA is 3.49. However, I am gearing up to start my second year of teaching, finishing my Teach For America commitment, and the idea of losing my July of school year prep and final month off for summer is daunting; in honesty, I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like it. I'm not aiming for T14 schools or anything like that, obviously; my goal is to go with as little debt as possible. Does a difference between 170 and 172 (my highest PT score yet) mean a genuine difference in scholarship possibility? Or, given the rest of my application being not outstanding, is it not worth spending the time when there's a real chance I don't even score any better?

Any feedback here would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!
