Cancel score if score decreases????

Just trying to prepare for the upcoming Nov LSAT score release....it was my second time taking the LSAT. First score was solid and good enough for most schools on my list but wanted to take Nov to improve a few points. Feeling like I did okay but always preparing for the worst—in the event that I ended up getting a lower score, should I cancel the second score??? Does whether I should cancel or not depend on how much worse the second score is? Any advice is welcome!

I know its probably the last thing you want to hear at this point but: take a break. I am in nearly the same situation as you, feeling like I need to grind these next 3 weeks to get my goal score. BUTTTT I've found that sometimes taking a weekend off can do wonders for my sharpness and ability to actually fix the mistakes I keep making on PTs. You're not going to lose any progress by taking a few days rest. But you do run the risk of getting burnt out and succumbing to a mental fatigue thats really hard to get over if you continue to put yourself in a high stress situation day after day.

But of course, if you're like me and sometimes taking a break is really hard, there are things you can do that'll still allow you to "study" while still giving yourself a rest. There's several LSAT podcasts that offer some great advice and test taking approaches. Take a walk and listen to some of those. That way you're allowing yourself to reset without loosing the habit or routine of blocking out time in your day to study. Plus, those podcasts might have some useful info for you to incorporate into your plan once you get back to it!

Hope this helps!!!! HANG IN THERE...we're almost there!
