The only concern I have right now is how bad will a low score affect my future possibility to very top schools, such as top 3. I am so worried about a low score will have a determinant effect that I will lose my chance for those top schools even if I may have a perfect score in the future.

I know most school will only consider the highest score. But will a low school be big treat if I want to go to school like Harvard, Yale and Columbia in the future. If so, will it be a better chance to cancel score instead of keeping a low score?

@ thank you very much. I don't even know I can have accommodated testing. I don't know whether I will retake the test in Feb. But I will definitely need your direction on this if I am not getting better soon.

@ thanks for your advice,I am so sure I did awful on today test. 1. I only prepared for about 3 months. 2. I recently suffered some severe shoulder and neck discomfort that won't allow me to sit more than 20 minutes. So taking this test for about 4 hours is a big torture for me, and I believe the discomfort affected my performance as well. I don't know what to do now, as I know I will do much better in the future, but still, this is the last chance to apply for fall admission for my dream schools. But I don't want a very low score affect my much higher score in the future.

I just finished the 12/5 test. I don't know whether I should cancel my score.

I have two major concerns that persuade me to cancel my score:

1. I did not do well on this test at all. This is my first time taking LSAT, except for pretests. But I am sure I could do way better than this if give me more time to practice.

2. The proctors told me they had to report me because I was rewriting my name on the bubble sheet after the first 5 sections were done. I explained to them that my name was slightly erased by my hand when I filled out the bubbles, so I had to rewrite them just to be safe. They said they would send a note to LSAC and let them know I was rewriting my name instead of making marks on questions. So, they let me sign my name on the surface of the booklet, and I did. I don't know how much negative influence will this cause. I felt very upset about it.

Also, I am struggling not cancel the score, because this is the last chance for me to apply 2016 fall admission. I don't really want to take a gap year. But I do want to attend a really good law school.

So, right now, I am struggling! Really confused.

Please give me some suggestions. Also please let me know if you have any similar experiences and how you handled it! If you have any ideas about what to do during the gap year, let me know!!!!

P.S: I am an international student. I don't know how much difference will this make. So let me know if you have any ideas.

@ Thanks for your suggestion! Since this is my first time taking LSAT, so I don't know how bad is this violation just based on my own situation (rewriting my name). Will this violation hurt my future LSAT score or cause any other future problems when I apply law schools? Also, will that be very awful if I have a very low score on record, even if I can have much better score in the future? Thank you.
