Advice?

Took the LSAT today for a third time, I scored decently well the first time (around 80th percentile) and the exact same the 2nd time. I thought I'd take it a third time because I really thought I could do better, but completely messed up on the logic game today. (I'd say I guessed at least on 8 questions and just ran out of time) I felt strong about the rc, and one LR; however, the second LR was quite tough. I've sent in applications but have only heard back from one school. For most of the "top" schools I've applied to, my lsat score was around their 25th-50th percentile. I've asked these scores to proceed with their review of my application as is just to meet priority deadlines, but haven't heard anything back.

To complicate matters, the school that I've been accepted to offered me a free ride, however they are not necessarily my top choice and for lack of a better word, are one of my "safety schools". They've given me a deadline to take their scholarship offer and that deadline is before this jan LSAT score would even post.

What should I do? First, is it smart to cancel my score? Or should I see what I did? How much would it matter to schools I've applied to if I did worse? Secondly, how should I navigate the scholarship offer? Am I crazy to not accept it? If I ask for an extension, are they likely to grant it?

I chose D for this question and am struggling to see where the complaint that skills (powerful memory, etc) lost in the transition from an oral to literary society was proven to be valid/true in the stimulus? More simply put, how do I know that these skills were actually lost? My thinking in answering this question was that these skills merely transitioned over from an oral society to a literacy society and therefore the idea that we were going to lose these or similar skills in a similar shift from a literacy society to an electronic media society was unwarranted. Could someone explain this to me? #help

I ultimately chose B to this question because the other choices were really awful, but could someone please help clear it up a little better for me? My thought process with B goes like this "okay, there is a million more low budget movies produced than there are big AND Medium budget films. That could help explain why had it said and + they all get sent to theaters and gross some amount of revenue, but what if the answer choice is only and/or mostly referring to those start up shitty home budget movies that people invariably make but go absolutely no where. How is there more money being brought in from that?" Again, I chose B, but it looked like it was missing something to me as I read it that caused me to spend way too much time contemplating it than I should have. #help

I'm in a similar position, but have an LSAT score already on file that fits within the majority of my choices 25-75% LSAT range. I am submitting my applications and leaning towards asking them to begin their review of my application based on the score on file so that I make the priority deadlines for scholarships and admission. Interested to know the responses on this.
