I don't see why you should cancel when it's not a bad score. I agree with the comments that if you end up getting your goal score, they will probably only look at that.

are you still accepting clients for tutoring? If so, would you have any time any time in the evening eastern time? I have been studying for 6 months and have been consistently scoring in the high 160's (avg about 9 missed per test). I want to break 170 by August. I am looking more for strategies to increase my accuracy on the hardest questions presented on the test and also how to do them in an efficient timely manner.

this is amazing. My first full diagnostic test was a 167 and I also have background in CS. Keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll do amazing as well on test day!

I also started experiencing this problem on Friday. I have approved accommodations for 150% as well and I no longer see an option to change the timing, but this seems to only be the case for my practice blocks.

If I got it right on the BR and I am confident in why my answer was wrong, I use the written explanations. If I have no idea why I missed the question or if I did not understand the meaning of the question, I will use the video explanation. Between the two of them, I use the written explanations most during my study time.

I found using the loophole by Ellen Cassidy very helpful for developing strategies to quickly eliminate wrong answer choices. Since the lsat gives you very little time to answer each question, this book outlines each question type by categorizing questions based on a spectrum of powerful and provable question types. I found her explanations of these different question types super helpful because it allowed me to spot key words and phrases in the answer choices that helped me automatically eliminate wrong answers. The book also touches on very detailed strategies for categorizing flaws and designing loopholes to spot the flaws. Overall, I would say this book is awesome if you are really struggling on how to approach questions and develop skills to spot wrong answers.

I also think the lsat is based more on strategy and learning a new skill, which takes time. I do not think a lower lsat should make you think you cannot achieve a high score. If you have time, I also highly recommend doing the comprehensive lsat course on 7sage. It took me three months to complete it while working a full time job, but I felt the time was well spent because I felt I truly understood the general outline of the test and what to expect.
