I just took the lsat writing section and I forgot to show both sides of my scratch paper when I started scanning my room. Has anyone experienced the same thing? Will I have to retake the test??

I get why (D) may be the best answer choice, but I'm still a bit unsatisfied because it seems like (D) is attacking the conclusion of the argument by denying that the voters were biased in favor of Lopez (and I thought that weakening questions should attack the premise's support for the conclusion instead of either the premise or the conclusion). Or is it just that the argument is so terrible that there isn't really a support structure between the premise and conclusion and so the only way to attack the "argument" is to deny the conclusion (i.e. opening up the possibility for an alternative explanation)?

I'm just curious -- if instead of answer choice a) there was an answer choice that stated: "Most bacteria that are not resistant to heavy metal poisoning are not resistant to antibiotics either" would this answer choice be considered as strengthening the argument?

So I'm a bit confused on this whole situation and was wondering if others were experiencing the same thing. This is my first LSAT Flex so I didn't receive on official email from LSAC on creating a ProctorU account or scheduling the time but I was wondering how to create an account anyway to test my equipment on the ProctorU site. I read from reddit that you could create an account with LSAC acer (I'm not sure if I spelled that correctly) so I tried it and it worked. Then I saw from the discussions that were going on here that a few people had already scheduled a time slot with their ProctorU account so I tried it on my account and was able to schedule for 6:00 pm KST on the 19th. I'm not totally sure if this is official since I didn't follow the procedures that LSAC would send me by email. I'm going to check the email and make sure that I really did get the time scheduled but I was just wondering if anyone experienced the same thing.
I want to run an equipment test through the ProctorU site but apparently I have to create a ProctorU account first. I'm having trouble with this because I don't know what to select for "Institution". I've tried both LSAC and Paper and Pen LSAC but according to ProctorU, both disallow me to make an account. Does anyone have the same issue?
Thank you @ for your input!! I did think about my performance on the test and I think that because I was nervous I relied a lot on my "gut feeling" about correct answer choices. I think that if I really had solidified my reasoning skills I would not have had to rely so much on my instincts. I think that during my prep, I just tried to cover as much questions as possible and review them, yes, but review only the questions I got wrong and not with BR but just by looking at the wonderful videos available here on 7sage. I think JY said in one of his videos that it is better to start out slow, meaning solving and reviewing problems slowly but carefully, and as your reasoning skills really solidify, the speed will naturally come. I didn't know how important this was during my first prep but now I know and in preparing for the re-take, I think I'll try studying more meticulously and worrying less about speed. But anyway, thanks for commenting and I decided to do a re-take!
Hello everyone!
I just first want to say kudos to everyone who took the January test. It was my first time taking it and it was really tough, a lot tougher in my opinion than taking practice tests. I'm just curious on what some of your thoughts may be about my experience. So I received the score today and I got a 163. Honestly, it isn't a bad score and when I look up at the 7sage school predictor, I see a lot of pretty good law schools I could consider as "target". But for me personally, when I first saw my score I was really disappointed. My average score from the 85 or so practice tests that I took in preparation was around 170 and I was consistently in the 170's weeks before the test. Also, I had thought I did pretty well on the actual test despite my nerves. Nerves did get to me though -- and I knew that they would -- and this is why I'm completely lost on what I should do. The test was pretty fair and I know I was prepared and yet I received a score that was way lower than my average. So I'm thinking that if I re-take the test, it might just be the same thing all over again. And I for sure know that I don't want to put myself through all the mental stress only to get similar results. I've also recently started my first semester of senior year and everything's going pretty well so I don't want to go on a leave and postpone my graduation. I've heard (from people talking about the LSAT on YouTube and from podcasts) that people usually don't do very well on their first test. But I'm really not sure what I should do.. Does anyone have any advice?
But how do we know that a percentage increase necessarily means that the number of students enrolled actually increased? If the percentage enrolled refers to the percentage of the total number of applicants enrolled, and the number of applicants was significantly greater last year than the previous year, wouldn't answer choice A be not necessarily correct?
