April 2021 Retake

jabarrineau

Because of the complaint that I filed about interruptions by my proctor LSAC has offered a retake on 22 April. I don't feel supremely confident that the test will be my goal score 160+, but I am confident it will be better than my last which was a 151 in January (bad test day).

Has anyone done a retake? Any advice?

Thanks!

Due to my ProctorU complaint, I've been offered the 4/22 retake as well. I can't offer much knowledge, as I've never done a retake but it's my understanding it would be a completely different test. If you've been PT-ing above 151 and felt April's Flex was definitely below that (hard to know, right?), it's likely worth it!
I feel a bit traumatized from how Tuesday's exam was proctored so I'm working through whether or not I can clear my head and refocus by next Thursday.

Wait, I gotta worry about a proctor too? Can you guys please share your proctor experience?

@BigJay20 Sure.

I took the test last Sunday and everything went smoothly with ProctorU. They did ask me to rotate my desk to show the doorway to my bedroom -- to ensure that nobody walks in or out during the exam -- and I complied. One of my Study Buddies @T14SteelBeam (who took the test last Saturday) said that he told them he couldn't rotate his desk. As far as I know, both of our tests will be considered valid.

I think an important thing to remember is that people generally post about negative experiences, but not positive ones.

For instance, I haven't made a post about my technical difficulties with the LSAT Writing Portion on Friday because I followed the steps given for such an issue. If it turns out that I have to redo it, I'll probably make a post to vent about it. Otherwise, it'll be out of my mind for the foreseeable future.

Hope that makes sense, and eases your concerns a bit.
