As part of your law school application, a majority of schools allow you to write a one-page addendum describing a specific difficulty you had with your test taking process; in your example your father's situation.

Hey there sorry about score. I have a similar situation. I took the test in June of last year and scored well below what it was scoring on PT's. But I studied for four more months and added three more points to my score to give me a competitive percentile. In your situation I would keep studying, go over the December test and see what your weak points were, and crush the test in June; that sounds like plenty of time. As for the first score, write an addendum mentioning your father. Best of luck & keep up the hard work.

Thank you JY and the 7Sage Community for my +3 improvement from the June LSAT. JY, your encouragement made a world of a difference and bumped my score into a competitive range.

LG was once my most difficult section, and now I love the challenge every PT I take. There's nothing more rewarding than -0 LG. Even if it seems time consuming and monotonous, FOOL PROOF, FOOL PROOF, FOOL PROOF. Not just until you understand it, but until you can do it quicker than J.Y. recommends; that way, when you hit a really tough game, you'll have the confidence due to the extra time you've earned yourself!

JY, I love your passion for LOTR lol.

Definitely not selfish...
