Do I qualify for a history of poor standardized testing addendum? If so, how do I write it? all advice is appreciated.

I have a 3.9 lsac ugpa and a 157 and 160 lsat.

My previous scores are:

SAT
Critical Reading – 640 – 88%
Mathematics – 520 – 51%
Writing – 530 – 64%
Total 1690/2400 - 71% of National college bound students in 2008

SAT Subject Test U.S. History – 590/800 – 40%

.

What's your undergrad school like? Competitive? And what's your class rank like? (Even if they don't publish that, at 3.9, you're likely on some honor roll requiring top X%).

Just point out that you clearly do well on papers and exams (cf 3.9 gpa; top x% of class) but do not on standardized tests (40-71%ile)

Don't write an addendum for this.

You certainly could write one, but it won't help.

Have you considered retaking?

No.

You are in like the top 75th percentile of takers. How can you say you are a poor standardized test taker?

Take the test a third time, then try that strategy.

you're not a poor standardized test taker. You're an average one.

THIS.

You can't get in the 80-90% percentile of a standardized test that is only taken by college graduates and complain you suck at standardized tests. You just aren't smart enough to get into a T-14 and you need to accept that.

You just aren't smart enough currently to get into a T-14 and you need to accept that study harder than you have ever studied before so that you can retake and not let that GPA go to waste.

Accept nothing.
