LSAT Addendum

So I took the LSAT last year and scored a 163. I took it again this October and brought it up to a 177. Do y'all think this warrants writing an addendum? I am conflicted on whether to just let the numbers speak for themselves or to write an addendum. Would appreciate any advice!

Unless there's a fairly unique reason for the increase, I wouldn't bother. Even if there is a fairly unique reason, it still won't make a difference.

+1. Don't write one unless you left the first test early due to illness or something like that. Adcoms will assume that your increase is due to studying, taking the test more seriously, better prep, etc. If that assumption matches reality, then an addendum is just something extra for them to read (which they aren't looking for).

Makes sense that's what I was leaning towards, thanks for the input!
