Haha I wish my school allowed me to do that. But in reality it's the other way round. We don't have the option of including a "good grade" because there simply isn't a grade for any of the classes. And if someone happened to have failed one class, out of say, 100 classes that are counted towards our degree, LSAC would count the failed class and issue a 0.00 as the "average GPA".
I don't know what's went wrong in my case. I passed all my classes but still got a 0.00. lol.

Thanks for your reply! Do you happen to know which schools have the pass/fail system? I know Brown has it as optional, but most people who's got grad school in mind specifically opts out of it.
It will be helpful if I could talk to someone else in the same situation as me.
I went to a college with a Pass/Fail system (ie no GPA) so I assumed that my "GPA" is just gonna be something like "NA" or simply left blank.
But a 0.00???
Does that mean if a school accepts me, I'd be bringing their entering class average GPA down with my "0.00 GPA"? This is ridiculous! Not a single school would be willing to accept me in this case.
Guess I'll have to call or email LSAC asap.
Hey I totally feel you!
The September test was my first go at the LSAT and I got a 161, around 10 points lower than the average score of my past 10 PTs. I m really disappointed since I've already postponed it once (I wanted to take it in June) and I consider myself pretty well prepared.
However I somehow knew what went wrong during the test itself, so I am not completely clueless to why I didn't get a high enough score.
For example, I really messed up my 2nd LR section because I spent too much time trying to finish shading the circles on the scantron for the previous RC section. This was a strategy I invented in hoping to save one or two minute on the RC section(So instead of shading the circles completely, I'd just put a dot on the right circle, and move on to the next question) and it totally worked against me this time round.
Because that LR section had 27 questions, and it wasn't particularly easy that I could breeze it through, AND after allocating time to shade for the previous section, I was running out of time by around the 23rd question and that caused me to panic big time. As a result, I couldn't even comprehend the last 5 questions, and ended up having to guess them all.
I suggest making a list of the things that you think might have affected your performance on the test day, and go through each of them to see if anything could be done about it.
Also, blind review the test materials that LSAC just gave you, figure out why exactly have you made the wrong choices.
Hey I am having some problem with National Student Clearinghouse and would really appreciate some input! I realize "LSAC" wasn't an available option from the list of organizations provided on the portal.
I went back and forth several times (and there isn't even a "back" button! I had to key in the same information 5 times, drove me nuts) to make sure I wasn't blind or misread anything. How did you guys go about doing it? Did you have to manually key in LSAC's address/phone number etc?
Thanks in advance <3

My guess is that there just ain't many schools that do this. Or rather, not many people from schools like mine are applying to law school.
I was talking to the registrar people at my school and they recounted less than 20 in their entire career :(
