😖 Frustrated

September Woes

I had been studying for the September LSAT for the past few months and was scoring fairly consistently the three weeks leading up to it in the 170-175 range, but after getting scores back today, I had little improvement from my prior LSAT score taken earlier in 2025 and was not at that level.

At the end of the day, it just means that I need to study more and harder and maybe not rush the process. However, what is hard to get over is how discouraging it is. I am worried that even if I get my ideal, higher score on the next go, it will be like a smear to have the low scores on my record. I have score cancel and can do so, but I've a few days to decide. I cancelled my score from earlier this year as context for that.

I am looking to apply next cycle early and therefore have some time. Anyone else in a similar boat/has been in a similar boat? Any thoughts?

    So glad to see someone else in the same boat 😭 I studied for a couple months before the September LSAT and ended up scoring 1 point lower than my last test Nov 2024... what a blow :(

    The advice I've heard so far is to not cancel scores unless they're really really bad? If you have a lower score on record right now, but do better the next time you take it, it'll show dedication/commitment to improvement... at least that's what I've heard!

    Anyways, you've got this! That high score is coming your way :)

    My advice is to just put your head down and keep going. It is about reaching the potential that you believe you have. It isn't about all the other scores. I don't know if you should cancel or not (my hunch is not), but honestly, shut out the noise, and keep working. Otherwise, it is too demoralizing - so many entry points for negative thinking.
