She plans to study now, take a break during her busy season at work, and then re-start studying in the spring. Is this a workable study strategy?

A listener from Brazil is studying for the LSAT and has taken five practice tests with scores ranging from 153 to 166. He asks the following questions: Do I have a chance at a scholarship (even with a lower GPA) at a good school? Is a 175 score feasible?
