Greetings Fellow 7-Sagers...
I know there's recently been a few "should I / shouldn't I" discussion threads on whether or not to cancel a score. Having just taken the LSAT yesterday (in Korea), I now face the same dilemma.
Complicating my choice... today I was just informed by a colleague at work that even though you cancel your score, LSAC still scores your exam and... AND law schools can still see your "cancelled" score.
Is this true ??? WTF ?! Do law schools have access to your cancelled score ? Then what's the point of cancelling ?
Additionally, she tells me that some law schools will ask for a written reason why you cancelled.
Can anyone confirm this ?
Help me Obi-JY, you're our only hope.
I love The 'Trane... his Village Vanguard sessions are truly the best... but for LSAT study ? For me, Coltrane is too distracting.
I prefer ambient background music for studying the LSAT. Try Brian Eno.
There's a website / phone app which mimics the background noise of a coffee shop without actually hearing any specific conversations - https://coffitivity.com/
I agree with some here in this thread who suggest background noise is essential for your prep test - the "library noise" youtube clip that joegotbored posted is perfect. There's going to be noise during your actual test (coughing, pencils dropping... the lonely student in the back sobbing at the realization that all hope is lost...) so you should be ready & able to tune that garbage out. Prepping in dead silence ain't gonna prep you for life during the real test.
