Hello. I scored a 163 on the October Flex. My GPA is fairly unimpressive so this score is too low for the schools I want to apply to. My goal score is 165+ and I likely won't send an application until I achieve that score. With that being said, is it in my interest to keep the 163 or delete the score from my LSAC account? Are there any advantages/disadvantages to keeping it? Please advice!
The fact that OP has to even ask this question is actually incredibly sad. I chose to disclose my race but I had similar thoughts. Look at the recent court cases involving Yales discriminations of whites and asians. Truly sad.
Delete the score. Study hard for the November test. If you bomb that one you should try for spring admission and apply with a 165+. The sky isn't falling. You can do it.
I find when reviewing a missed Logical Reasoning question I have misinterpreted an answer choice. This is typically done by not taking what is written at face value and letting your own interpretations seep into your analysis of the answer choices. You have to train yourself to be a robot when reading the answer choices. Something could be logical on the test but seem illogical in your brain because you're interpreting the question using background information instead of limiting yourself to the information in the text.
I appreciate the thoughtful response. 163 is literally my exact average score so it isn't low or high. My only hesitation is that perhaps in November I score a 150 and am unable to apply this cycle. How much of a boost is the single score would you say in comparison to two scores?
