I took the Oct exam even though I knew I wouldn't get my desired score. I looked at it as a practice run to help me get all of my initial nerves out of the way. After taking the test, I thought that I had bombed, like fully bombed. I was really nervous to check my score, but once I did, I saw that I didn't do as poorly as I thought I had. It was a confidence boost because I did better than I thought and I knew that I could get a better score on the Nov exam. I know that I could take the exam over and over again to get the best score possible, but this score isn't the most defining aspect of my application. Pushing myself to get that best score possible would also be horrible for my mental health. My 2 cents, take the Nov test and be patient with yourself no matter what the score ends up being. Sucking at something is the first step to being good at something. Take your time. Forgive yourself. Rest intentionally. The vision would not have come to you if it were not meant for you. Good luck!

I reached out to the chat support on ProctorU and the tech support said that the test is up and running for some. Hopefully it works out!

Yeah, I'm scheduled to take it later today and I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing right now..

I'm scheduled to take it later in the day, and I'm not sure if it will be up and running by then..

I'm taking the LSAT on Saturday too. I'm not trying to get into a top school or even get a top score. But seeing other people's comments about getting a 175+ stress me TF OUT. I put added pressure on myself, and it's making the anxiety build. I'm neurodivergent as well, and what I've been doing to calm myself down is journal and remind myself of a few things...

This is my first time taking the test, and if I don't get a score that I want, I'll just do better next time. This is a practice run!

Being anxious and worrying about it is not going to make my score any better. Being well-rested and confident is what is going to make my score better.

And I am a smart and kind person! I know what characteristics of mine matter to me, and a test score isn't going to change those things.

Trust your instincts. Get your rest. Lean on friends and family. The vision and the goal would not have come to you if it wasn't meant for you. You got this. You are Michael Jordan. :wink:
