😖 Upset

Canceling test scores- your thoughts

Hi everyone, I took my first LSAT exam literally an hour ago, and I feel as if I did HORRIBLE, like as if I would be lucky to score in the 150s

This is because the proctering center did not tell me they were starting me the moment I arrived at the center (I had arrived 45 minutes before the exam started, planning on going to the bathroom, taking a moment to relax, etc.). Instead, they immediately rushed me into the room, without telling me, and sat me down. I had just finished a yerba, and it hit my bladder 15 questions into my first section....

Long story short, I spent the whole first half trying not to pee my pants, and it completely took me away from an exam I otherwise think I would've done quite well in!! I unfortunately couldn't focus with my bladder hurting so much.

To add onto it, I was sitting next to someone with a cough and a kid who was muttering the whole time... :(

Should I give in to LSAC's fear-mongering and cancel my score? I would hate for outside circumstances to affect how future law schools view me as an applicant.

Thanks!

I started studying last spring part-time and started studying full-time in September taking my first LSAT in january

But I'm giving myself ample time since I'm an anxious test taker and will definitely have to retake it ahah

I'm in the same boat.... I score around 150s with the timed section and then high 160s on the BR....

For me, its a timing thing. I have bad test anxiety, and knowing I HAVE to stay on time ruins me and genuinely blocks me from fully understanding/ catching details.

frustrating because I know I can answer them + I've been studying nonstop for 6 months

🙃 Confused

LSAT writing section

Hello everyone, I am writing my first ever LSAT next weekend, jan 10th.

I am wondering when the best time to do the writing section is?

I have heard many different POV, and I'm wondering what worked best/didn't work for you?

thanks!

😖 Frustrated

Timing- Especially for RC

Hello everyone!

I'm taking my first LSAT Jan 10th and have been studying for months, but I can't get a grasp on timing.

When I PT without time, I average a very high score compared to when I PT with time.

I have always had test anxiety, which has gone away with being in uni. Unfortunately, with the LSAT, it seems to have come back.

My mind does not let me truly understand and read even the simplest of phrases, which has me get easy questions wrong, and run out of time on my RC.

Not sure what to do... has anyone had this issue, and what did you do??

Thanks!

Am I doing this right?:

I got 10 seconds below the time since I knew it was a conclusion.... and answer A was the only one that states it was a conclusion.

I realize this won't work most of the time, but I have gotten many answers correct in this manner- but is this something I can rely on during the exam?

I ignored any question that stated "governments" needed to step up and provide water since it seemed too specific.... it could be a non profit, an international humanitarian group etc... so "an organization" was general enough

is this thinking correct?
