Hi all. I took the LSAT Flex yesterday and well, it didn't go great. For various reasons I was not in the best head space and that coupled with test day anxiety really threw me for a loop.
I've been drilling LG for a few months now and have been consistently getting between -1 and -4 on practice tests. On the real deal, my brain went completely blank and I maybe properly set up two of the games. I remember blindly guessing on at least 3 questions (probably more but my brain has kind of blacked out details) and made semi-educated guesses on others. I also had super low time on the last RC passage and had to make some pretty quick educated guesses there as well. LR might be fine but also might not.
This was so far off from my recent PT experiences, which have mostly ranged in the high 160s/low 170s. I'm pretty worried that the LG section alone put me below the 160s range on the actual test.
I took the test last November so I already have that score on file (160) and feel like it would look pretty terrible to have an even lower score on record almost a year later... At the same time, maybe I miraculously guessed well and/or somehow didn't do as terribly as I think. So, the question is: Is it a good idea to cancel my score to be safe..? More specifically, is it better to have a cancelled score on record (and forever be haunted by not knowing how I did) than to have two scores well below my goals on file a year apart?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Echoing everyone else's comments here. I took the LSAT back in January and got -14 on LG. I had no idea how to set up most game types and could only get to 2 max. I've been focusing solely on drilling games for the last few months and am now consistently able to get to all 4 on PTs. I would highly suggest just doing as many games as possible-- I heard that advice and didn't fully believe it but it really is true that you start picking up patterns and things click at a certain point.
Some specific time management advice that helped me is to think strategically about which questions you're answering first (ones that give you viable scenarios-- the standard first question, "if" questions, etc.) so that you have examples to refer to for time sucking questions like what can never be true. And allow yourself to move on from questions if they're preventing you from starting another game that you might be able to squeeze a few points out of.
Hope that helps-- best of luck! :)
