LSAT ADDENDUM. Should I write it?!? Forum

[Western28]

I'm stuck on whether I should do an addendum. When I took my first LSAT we started almost 3 hours later because the proctors forgot about the exam and I just started medication for certain medical issues. The second time they switched my medications, but we started on time and my LSAT jumped by 8 points. My degree is in paralegal studies, which I did well in and my GPA is 3.59. I did very well at work, received multiple awards, and volunteered a lot of my time. I want to explain to them that on the second time it was a little different, but I was still taking medication, just different ones. Should I write the addendum?

Do not write an addendum. It sounds like you have a lot of nice softs that make you sound like a poised, successful person. Why undo that impression with an I-scored-low-on-my-first-lsat-because-my-doctors-couldn't-get-my-medication-right addendum?

I agree. Don't write one for this.

The alternative is to classify it as a misdiagnosed medical issue that was later corrected, if you want to write the addendum. However, I probably wouldn't do it unless the school requires it.
