Hey guys,
I just took the June exam and I couldn't really get too much sleep the night before, about 3 hours. The first LR section was a bit hazy and I had some trouble doing the first few problems which otherwise shouldn't have been hard. Is a bad day's sleep grounds for cancelling?

It is NOT grounds for cancelling but is rather a nearly universal experience.

The tips on whether to "cancel" a score have been compiled with input from the years of past 7Sage's experiences and other resources for your exact situation. It is an individual decision - but I hope this helps:)
Excerpt from Blog:
When to Cancel Your Score
Fact: Everyone feels awful after they take the test. Expect that you will too. The worst thing for you to do is to obsess over all of the questions you weren’t sure about or how you could have diagrammed that game more effectively. And don't discuss the test with anyone else—both to preserve the integrity of the administration per LSAC's guidelines, and to preserve your sanity. It’s over, and you did your best.
It’s important to say that up front, because feeling icky after that test is not a reasonable grounds for cancelling your score.
There are three conditions that warrant score cancellation, and only three.
You are certain you had a bubbling error from which you were not able to recover. For instance, realizing that you started bubbling at #2 and were therefore one off for every answer in that section. If you are certain that this happened, then you should cancel your score.
You had a medical emergency during the test, such as: an asthma attack, seizure, blackout, full-blown panic attack, etc. This list of conditions sounds extreme, because you should only cancel your score if something truly extreme happened.
You had to leave the testing room for any reason and were not done with the section. If this happened for any reason, then this may be an serious enough condition for you to cancel you score.
Again, please note that feeling bad about how you did is not grounds to cancel your score.
