Start studying now. That way when you decide to take your LSAT, you will get your baseline score and might even surprise yourself come test day like I did. Even if you don't get in for Fall 2022, you might want to get into Fall 2023. Just give it a 100% effort and let the cards fall where they may.

I submitted my complaint on the 17th at 1:30, received the retest email by the 18th at 12:30, less than 24 hours. I was also told the 20th was the deadline to let me know. Based on what I’ve read the 26th test will be completely different than any sections from the other days since they know people talk and people have put out their predictions about which sections are experimental. I took 2 sections before my issues with Proctor U. I can’t see any scenario where I will get the same sections or the ones people have been discussing all over.
I notified them and they told me I could not retake the test because I was already exposed to the exam.
@ Copy that! Did not know Thanksgiving was the current benchmark for early app. Thanks!
Same here, was already half way through the exam when my Proctor U extension crashed. Contacted LSAC and they offered to cancel my score and move me to October LSAT. Did not know they were offering a makeup exam on the 26th! If that was an option I would've taken it. Really don't want to be sending out applications in December and be behind the curve again.
I applied to schools showing that I registered for the October LSAT. I only applied to schools where I was above the median with my current score thinking they would review right away, and held off applying to schools where I would need a better LSAT. Guess I'll go back through my apps and tell those schools to go ahead and review my application. Can I tell them to re review my application with my new score if necessary? Or if you are rejected do they not care about your new LSAT score in the same admission cycle?
"Have you ever been arrested, cited or ticketed, charged with, convicted of, placed on deferred adjudication, or pled guilty or pled nolo contendere (no contest) to any violation or criminal offense other than a minor traffic violation? "
You were cited, and it was later dismissed. Think of it as you were charged with a crime, but not convicted. You will need to disclose. Definitely don't sweat it. I know plenty of people who have gotten similar tickets and are now attorneys as well as people who have done way worse things who are now attorneys.
A couple of my friends who would consistently score in the mid 170's have scored in the mid 160's. Don't beat yourself up too much.
I do a full game set everyday.
A lot of people I know worked through law school part time at a coffee shop or bartended so that they could cover small expenses and finance the rest through loans. Not sure about their school policies, but some of them went to reputable schools.
I know numerous people who were prescribed Adderall specifically for LSAT studying. Almost all applied for accommodations. Some were accepted, some denied. They base it on more factors than just if you are prescribed ADHD meds. The pattern I noticed is that if you had testing accommodations during undergrad or in high school, it was granted relatively easy. If not, they were denied even with ADHD meds prescribed. (Presumably to weed out people who "all of a sudden" developed ADHD before the LSAT)
