This just shows you how important the LSAT is, and although, obviously that was a wide gap, I'd retake the LSAT if I thought I could get 3-5 pts higher ESPECIALLY if it doesn't even require you to delay application.

Don't most schools take the average, though?

I had been scoring an average of 172 on my timed practice tests, but ended up with 167 (my second worst score EVER!) on the actual exam. However, I decided not to retake it because I felt like I couldn't expect anything better than my average practice score, which wouldn't boost my score more than a couple points. It didn't seem like it would help me much.

So even if he scored a 170 the second time around, he'd still be at a 167 or or 168 average. Are those extra points really that valuable?
