Hi everyone. I did the LSAT in September and got the results back. I want to know if I should keep or cancel the score.
I have only been studying since mid-July and wasn't expecting a high score considering I got a 136 in my first PT I ever did, and my last PT before the official exam was 147. I got a 147 in the official exam as well and planning to write the Nov LSAT again. My goal is 160(+).
Do you think I should keep the score or delete it? Does anyone know if the cancellation usually tends to have a negative effect on the application, or the schools look at the bright side and see improvement if I score higher in the Nov test?
I am also asking because I have only written the exam once, and the applications are due Nov 1. So is it better to have a low mark on file, or no mark at all before the application deadline?

The advice I have heard that may be applicable here is that if your score can get you into any law school then you should keep it. So if a 147 cannot get you into any school (That you would be willing to attend) then it might be better to cancel. There is always a chance you do worse on your next exam and if you canceled the first score that leaves you with nothing
Have sort of a related question - not sure if you are also asking this in relation to "written" - if you cancel an exam that you have already done the argumentative writing portion for does that argumentative writing get cancelled too or does it carry through to your next exam? Thanks!
