Writing sample mistake

Hey guys, I took the LSAT for the first time this August.

On test day, I also submitted my writing portion. Right before the time was up as I was proofing what I wrote, I noticed a word had incorrectly auto-corrected to "succumbed" instead of "survived," but the time ended before I could fix it!

I'm so upset because rather than your standard typo it appears that I do not understand the meaning of the word "succumbed!!" Do you all think I should submit another writing sample? Will admissions teams still see the old version anyway? Maybe I should do another and correctly work in the word succumbed just to show that I do know what it means, ugh.

How long is an acceptable addendum?

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if you all had been advised on how long is too long for an addendum?

I am submitting one to explain a low GPA. I think I have decently good reasons and evidence for how I have changed the situation since I was an undergraduate student, but I'm really not sure how much detail to include in my story.

I think I've written a compelling story that is a page and a half long. I could take out a lot of detail and squeeze it back down to one page, but I feel the bare bones version is significantly less interesting and obviously takes away a good deal of context. What are y'alls thoughts on this?

PS, I'm applying at schools in the 60-80 range

I also do not have any legal experience, but I currently work in a field that requires some similar skills and I have several years of experience. I plan to explain that I want to go to law school because I feel ready to level up the skills I have already been building for years.

Plans for test day and the week before

Hey guys! What is everyone's plan for test day and the week leading up to the test? Will you warm up before the real deal or save your mental energy for the exam? Also, how intense have you studied during the week before the test? TIA!

If y'all are still doing this I'd very much be interested! Anyone who would like to swap please send a PM. Btw, I'm a journalist and write professionally, so I'm pretty good at editing, but obviously that puts A LOT more pressure on me to write a personal statement that is absolutely PERFECT! I need as many eyes as I can get!
