Should I take the LSAT Twice

My son appears in the Law School Admission Test last year but he does not score good rank. So he wants to fill the application form of the Law School Admission Test this year also? Please tell me should anyone take the LSAT Twice? If yes then how Do Law Schools Consider Multiple LSAT Scores?

Re: Should I take the LSAT Twice

As you Asking for the give the LSAT Exam Twice let me tell you that one Should take the LSAT Test Twice But there is A Different Views About taking the Exam Twice Here I am giving you the Pros and Cons for the giving the Exam Twice the Information is given below

Pros

Opportunity for score improvement.
A study from LSAC tracking the performance of repeat test takers shows that, on average, students improved by 2.8 points on the second take and 2.2 points on the third.
By recommitting to study for the test, you’ll give yourself the opportunity to bring your score up.

More options for law schools
+ scholarships. Given the importance of the LSAT, a retake that results in a higher score will make you more competitive for higher-ranked law schools and greater scholarship offers

Less stress for round 1. While we don’t necessarily advocate taking test prep lightly in round 1, students who know they have a backup plan to retake the test in a later administration won’t feel as much stress to get the LSAT “right” the first time around.


Cons

Potential score decrease.
We know you give yourself the opportunity to improve on the LSAT when you take the test again, but there’s also a chance that your score will go down.

A score decrease can raise concern in the eyes of admissions officers. Check out LSAC’s data on repeat test takers – the data shows that in general, the higher your initial score, the more difficult it will be to improve on the second take.

More expenses.

The LSAT costs $175 to sign up for. If you’re retaking the LSAT, you’ll be sending LSAC at least $350 in total LSAT-related expenses. And don’t forget that if you didn’t plan to retake the LSAT far enough in advance, you may also be responsible for covering a $90 late registration fee.


Added scheduling demands. Many students time the LSAT around other commitments – for example, the June LSAT is a popular administration because it takes place during the summer, and students can study for it without the burden of classes. If you find yourself needing to retake the test in October or December, you’ll need to be prepared to balance your commitment to studying with your commitment to your classes and final exams.

Delayed application timeline. Retaking the test will set your application timeline back by a month or two. Be sure to measure whether the benefits of a higher score on a retake will be negated by a delayed application timeline.

Everyone’s LSAT circumstances will be different. If you need help deciding whether the cons of a retake will balance out the pros, check out our recommendations for when not to retake the LSAT.
