CONFUSED ABOUT DIGITALIZED WRITING SECTION

tiredgorl

Hey everyone
So idk about everyone but I received an email from lsac a few days ago saying that they take into account only one of our writing sections?? or have I understood wrong? I'm generally confused b/c I'm gonna do my lsat way before I apply to law school, should I do the writing every time I do the lsat or do it the one time I get the highest mark and before I send that score for application?
Sorry if it sounds stupid lol
Thanks!!!

You only have to complete the writing section once. The option to complete it becomes available after your first time taking the LSAT. At that point, you can take it whenever you want. Just try to do it before you submit apps so there isn't a delay.

And to clarify, the writing sample is independent from any given test, so the score you get on the associated LSAT sitting isn't relevant.

Whenever you do the writing, make sure the ID picture is clear (you hold the ID in front of the camera taking it yourself). They canceled my first writing sample due to photo ID issue so I got to have the "fun" twice.

oh ok so I don't have to write it this time that I won't be using my score for applications. Thanks!
