    What if the nerves got to me during the exam and I guessed like 3/4 LG? :|

    I took the December exam. I choked on the LG section. The entire 4th game I guessed, and for a handful of the questions from game 1+2 I wasn't entirely confident. I thought I went double digits in LG, but I ended up with a -8. Not good at all, but my performance in LR+RC was consistent. I ended up with a score that was within my anticipated range.

    I wouldn't cancel over a handful of questions wrong in LG.

    Thank you. This eased my worry a little bit. Although I blindly guessed a handful of games, not a handful of questions :bawling: I've decided not to cancel but definitely did not feel good leaving that exam.

    One more bump for you guys. See above. It’s so true. I walked out of my first LSAT thinking I bombed part of it, had let nerves get the better of me. Turns out, I nailed and scored right in my PT average. Had I canceled, I would’ve been in a bad spot. Everyone feels the way you’re feeling right now. Unless something massive happened, you shouldn’t cancel. <3

    Unfortunately, my mind just blocked itself and I couldn't breath much because of allergies. As a result, I ran out of time and guessed on the last portion of all of the sections. I think I might request this score to be cancelled. Any arguments for cancelling the score?

    I mean, school is going to see that you have a canceled score anyway. I would rather find out my score and see what I did wrong/right to learn from it. That's just me. I wanna know my score even though I know I did not reach my target score.

    I also feel I did really poorly and have gone back and forth about cancelling but also thinking I am just going to see how I did and plan for January. I think my first section was the experimental Logical reasoning and I did not finish, first time in a long time. It got me very nervous and anxious and I was a mess for the rest of the test and actually a couple hours later. I didn't expect to be so anxious.

    @FindingSage same thing happened to me. I had LR (experimental)- RC-LR-LR-LG. By the third section I had a horrible headache and couldn't concentrate properly for the rest of the section, but unfortunately that is the one that counted. Hoping to find a way to deal with nerves or anxiety for January.

    Was your first logical reasoning section long and filled with point at issue and long stimulus questions? My brain is so foggy I can’t remember what any of them were but I can remember that. I am hoping that was the experimental because I didn’t finish it really threw me off the rest of the test.

    @FindingSage I do remember an usually large number of point at issue disagreement questions.

    @"J.Y. Ping" @"Jonathan Wang"

    There was a video a few years ago of @"Jonathan Wang" taking a LR section (with camera focused on the pen-paper version of the booklet. It was Super-amazing to see how quickly he went through some questions (like within 30 seconds), and motivating to know it's possible to go so fast.

    Could @"J.Y. Ping" or @"Jonathan Wang" do an truly-fresh PT (not seen before) with camera pointed to the paper or PC?

    So that lsat takers like me have an opportunity to see in flesh-and-blood it's really possible for Fresh PTs and for sections like RC/LR that have usually timing issues?
