LSAT Addendum -- Medical Reason
Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 4:16 pm
Hey guys. So, I tanked the June test (shock, surprise) and am writing my addendum in preparation for October. Thoughts & advice are much appreciated.
------
On May 28th, 2013, I was exiting a [NAME] mechanic shop when, as I crossed between my parked car and another parked car, the attendant exited my car while accidentally leaving it on drive. It rolled into me, crushing me between the two cars. As a result of this, I was on medication for several weeks due to extensive injuries including, but not limited to, a torn anterior talofibular ligament in my left ankle, substantial destruction of cartilage and damages to ligaments and tendons in the left knee, bursitis in both the left knee and left hip, and several displaced discs in my spine.
Nevertheless, I thought I would be able to take the LSAT on June 10th, less than two weeks later, and still perform well. I was extremely mistaken. I had opted not to take pain killers during the test as to keep my mind clear, and so I was unable to focus properly due to the pain.
In summation, I feel that my score on my first LSAT attempt (16X) is not representative of my ability, which my second attempt (17X) displays.
All medical documents will be sent to you upon request.
