Does a cancelled score count as a "take"?

lsatgodjk · November 2019

I have 1 official score from 2017 (should not have even bothered with the test)
and I have 1 cancel from the Jan 2018 exam. I cancelled after feeling like I bombed the test. Does this second attempt count as a "take"

I'm scheduled to take the exam in 2 weeks, which would be my third attempt, but only my second official score. I'm worried because I'm open to taking the January 2020 test in the event that I do not reach my goal score in November, and I don't want too many "attempts" to ruin my chances of getting into law school. Any thoughts?

According to the LSAC website:

"Your law school report will reflect that your score was canceled at your request; this advises law schools that you were exposed to test questions."

It counts as a take but not against your 3 test per year limit (that went into effect after this July). It is almost universally agreed that: better lsat score>"too many takes". That is, a better score will almost always be better for you than seeming to have taken the test too many times.

Howdy, Stranger!
