I have a completed writing sample on file from the June 2024 LSAT and am planning to take the October LSAT. I confirmed with LSAC that I do not have to complete the Argumentative Writing sample since I have a writing sample on file already, but I'm wondering if this will hurt me in any way during the application cycle? Is it better to complete the Argumentative Writing sample since I am taking the new version of the LSAT or does it not really matter?

I am trying to figure out whether or not I should cancel my October LSAT. Sadly I scored one point lower than I did on my June exam. Since it is only one point, should I let it be or should I cancel it since it is a lower score and I really only want to show my best score?
