few days and have canceled their score? What was your reasoning in doing so?

I cancelled after the first LSAT I ever took because I was just horribly unprepared and knew I could do better. It's never a good sign when you have to guess on most of an entire game (-5 or -6 right off the bat). Add that to a stupid RC passage that made no sense whatsoever and I was just not feeling too good about my chances.

I've flipped back and forth between regretting my decision and feeling confident that I made the right one ever since. I guess I'll never know for sure, but I think I made the right choice. I can't have done any better than I did the second time around, which wasn't stellar by my standards.

I cancelled. Went back and forth with it but it was my first time taking the test and sort of choked. Ended up guessing on 4+ on every section. I was hoping to score above a 167 and was consistently scoring at like 166 on every PT though I kept giving my self extra time so I wasn't really where I needed to be anyway. Hopefully going to take a step back figure out where I need help and see if I can power myself to a 170+ for October.

I read this on another forum. Only give yourself 30 mins for each section. Pain in the ass at first, but an unbelievable edge come October.

Sorry for the hijack, I thought about cancelling because I ran out of time on two sections but even so I think it will be fine, since if I need to I am sure I can retake and get 173+. So I'd rather see what I managed. Plus it is possible I still did well. I am expecting between 160 and 171 lol
