Can we unpack answer A? My reasoning was the following:

Depressed people [are on antidepressants] → antidepressants increase left lobe activity → Therefore, disposition is the product of frontal lobe activity, as is evidenced by the effect of antidepressant use.

I get that I incorrectly assumed that if one is depressed, they will be on antidepressants, when that is not necessarily the case, hence the confusion. However, I'd be curious as to how others discarded this answer. #help

@ Thanks. I apologize for my redundancy, but to confirm: if I cancel before 11:59PM ET tonight, schools won't even see that I registered? It's as if I never registered at all? Then, when I take the November LSAT (and hopefully do well), they will see that as my only score?

I appreciate all the votes/responses to the poll, but does anyone know the implications of cancelling before/after taking an exam? What looks worse? I would imagine that an AdCom might see a pre-test cancellation as indication that one didn't take the exam seriously, and didn't prepare enough?

Kindly advise !!

In summary: I am registered for the September and November LSAT test dates. Since June, my plan has been to sit the September exam. I am currently underperforming, and not reaching target score for schools I seek to apply to. I have until 11:59PM ET to withdraw my LSAT registration for tomorrow's exam. Should I withdraw, or sit tomorrow as a "practice" run?

For context: I have not taken a full PT in over 9 days. Work-related international travel has made it difficult to study the past 4-6 weeks, and I have been planning to withdraw my registration, and simply not take tomorrow's LSAT for the past two weeks. Nonetheless, earlier today, numerous people have suggested that I sit tomorrow as a "practice" or "test run" in order to get an idea of the test day atmosphere. I had not considered doing this until earlier today.

What should I do? I am not in the zone. I do believe that sitting the exam in a proctored environment may be illustrative, but am worried that knowing that I will not do well will traumatize me or fuck me up. I do not experience test taking-related anxiety; the anxiety you may note in this post is largely due to the last-minute nature of this situation.

I will cancel my score either way. Should I cancel now, take a deep breath, and go back to studying? Or should I take tomorrow's exam, and cancel immediately afterwards?
