Should I cancel my November score? Forum

[yyfhailey]

This may be a dumb question. I cancelled my June score and got 170 in September. I feel my November score is not going to be significantly better than 170. (Probably it will just end up with a 169/170)
Since AO will not look at my application if there is a pending LSAT score, should I just cancel my November LSAT so that my application will be reviewed earlier? Also, I am afraid that if I have indeed screwed my November LSAT and get an 165-ish, will that disadvantage me since I get a much lower score after a good one.

I have 3.87 GPA. My target is NYU and wish to get into one of CC. (I know I have no chance for HYS. But 170 is probably enough for schools ranked after T6, right?)

What were you PTing at prior to your November test?

You are almost guaranteed to get in to at least one (and probably all three) of CCN with a 3.87/170, and just below even odds of getting into Harvard. Even Y/S, while unlikely, aren't necessarily out of the running, depending on your softs.

Thanks for the reply!
The thing is that my PT scores were pretty random, ranging from 168 to 179. So I am hard to reach a decent prediction for my November score based on PTs. And I was totally lost in the last game in LG and had to guess several, which also happened in September, but I felt November RC was much more difficult than September RC. So I can't conclude if there is going to be any improvement but I am very concerned that whether a much lower LSAT will ruin my chances.

If there's even a tiny chance of 171 or better, and there is, don't cancel. Not even close to a tough decision here.

Thank you! I will wait for the score.

When will Nov score be out?

When will Nov score be out?

Sept. 21 results (the first all-digital administration) were out on Oct. 14, so one week shy of a month.
Oct. 28 results were out on Nov. 20, so again a week shy of a month.
Nov. 25 results, if they follow the same timeframe, will likely be out sometime next week. Of course, there's no guarantee.

I just received my November score, which is much lower than my September one. Should I write an addendum or anything?

Only if 1) you actually have an extraneous reason for what happened or 2) by "much lower" you mean like 10+ points lower. If you mean 165, you're still within the +/- 3-point confidence band of the LSAT and there isn't really much to explain.

Thank you! Mine is 163. Is a 7-point drop still safe?
