Worth retaking if above 75th as a splitter?

Basically the subject line. If I am above the 75th for my target schools (T14) by a point or two, as a "splitter," is it worth it to retake to try and pull out another few points if that means delaying my application until December?

If you feel reasonably confident you still have room to improve, then yes, it's worth it. This article talks more about that: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/does-s ... ur-chances.

If it's a shaky proposition that you'll improve, then it's not nearly as certain.

Bottom line: a higher score means your chances get even more locked in AND you chances for a better financial aid package increase. Those two things make it worth it.

Thanks!
