HELP! should I cancel my score? Oct. 2015 Forum

[thecap91]

I took the LSAT for a third time yesterday (164 Oct. 2013, 164 Oct. 2014). This was supposed to be my last time taking it but two things went terribly wrong. On the third game I completely bombed by not reading one of the conditions, this made me completely panic because I wasn't getting any of the questions down to just one answer choice and I pretty much guessed on the answers out of nervousness. The other thing was that on the last section, which I know for sure counted, I accidentally left #14 blank and kept bubbling, when I got to the end of the section I noticed I was over by one and there was very very little time left. I am not sure if I re-bubbled all my answers correctly.

I am pretty much 100% sure I will retake in December but am not sure on whether or not to cancel my score. I usually go -0 to -2 on LG and that would have put me at least at -5.

I was averaging 172-173 on PTs before the test (never under 170) and I have already done all of the PTs from 45-75. Not sure how to go about studying now.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, specially in regards to the PT situation and whether or not to cancel. Another things is that I will be working full-time from now on, and I was only working part-time before this. I think that I can definitely perform as well as I have been even with a slight drawback on the studying.

I really don't understand the advantage of cancelling, all I hear on here from re-takers is that their old scores don't effect the cycle.

THANKS.

As far as I can tell... if you aren't going for Yale, re-takes and lower scores matter little if at all. I don't see why this wouldn't apply to a fourth+ take.

At the end of the day, it really seems to be about the LSAT number the school will report (for rankings, etc.) and that will be your highest, no matter what.

This. Unless your dream school is Yale it shouldn't matter. You may as well receive your score so you at least know what answers you got wrong for study purposes.

Thanks, yeah i think i'll be doing that and just do practice questions every other day and two PTs (that i've already done) on the weekends until the test. But I'll probably be taking a week off before I start up again.
