So I am worried that the worst has happened.

Right before the proctor took up my testing materials, I noticed that I had bubbled in 24 answers on the LG section, which was only 23 questions. This is my best section and I usually miss -0,-1 on LG. With that being said, I have no idea where I double bubbled/overlapped and I did not have time to go back and check, nor would the proctor allow me to look after the test.

Has this ever happened to anyone? Is there some sort of protocol LSAC uses regarding scantron mistakes like this?

I am worried that this will kill my score and am contemplating canceling if there is nothing that can be done.

Literally exactly my problem on June (even down to # of questions, 23 q's but 24 bubbles). I didn't notice it on test day though. I thought I had killed the exam and was hoping for 180 (had gone 180, 178, 180 on most recent 3 PTs) and when I got a 172 I was really surprised. I checked my answers and saw I had gone -8 on LG and I had never missed a single LG question on any of my practice tests, so I checked my answer sheet and saw the bubbling mistake.

I contacted LSAC about if there were any way that I could remedy this, but hand-scoring tests are only for a machine error, which there hadn't been, so nothing could be done.

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend cancelling because there is a possibility that you only missed by one question or that you didn't actually misbubble and the LSAT fever made you think you did (not calling you crazy, I retook on Saturday and I know I freaked out about misbubbling quite a few times). If the worst happens and you did bomb it then you can always write an addendum if you do have to retake and there is a 10+ point difference, most law schools only care about your highest score anyway.
