I got a 164 on the November LSAT Flex and I am debating whether or not to cancel my score. I purchased the Score Preview option and have until tonight to decide. I was aiming for mid 170s but panicked on test day and did not perform as well as I could have based on PTs. I know a 164 is considered a great score for a lot of people, which makes me hesitate to cancel it (also I am really sorry if this is a super annoying post), but it is much lower than what I was aiming for and I will definitely take it again sometime next year. I am almost positive I can do better, especially if I continue studying. What do you guys think I should do?

How long does it take for LSAC to process the writing samples? I took the November exam and the earliest I can take it is Friday and I am worried I wont get my score back on time. Not the end of the world I guess, just curious if others have had a quick turnaround

For those of you who score above 170, how often do you guess on answers? On my last practice test, I got stuck on an LR question and sunk so much time into it that I had to rush through the remaining questions. I am aiming for 170+, so feel a lot of pressure not to miss questions, but sometimes this mindset seems to make it harder. Is the answer just to accept that I will inevitably get stuck sometimes and be ok with guessing, or does this just mean I need to study more to reach my goal? Looking for insight! Thanks!!

I have been practicing with a pen, but on my last practice test I accidentally wrote down a rule wrong. I caught my mistake quickly and scratched it out, but then it tripped me up for the rest of the game because of the visual clutter. What are your thoughts? Should I be using a pencil so I can erase when things like that happen? I know erasing large mistakes can waste time, but what about smaller things like copying down the wrong number in a rule?
