12CANCELLING YOUR EXAM
+
It’s normal to feel like you performed poorly when leaving the testing center. Take the night off before thinking
about cancelling your score.
+
Many law students retake the LSAT. Almost all law schools will look at your highest score. Only cancel your
exam if you’re sure something went wrong during the exam (like getting ill or realizing that you mis-bubbled an
entire section).
RETAKING THE EXAM
Plan to take the LSAT early enough so you can take it again if necessary. MSU Law students who decided to take
the LSAT at least twice were able to improve their scores by:
+
Taking more timed official LSAT prep tests. With each prep test, I connected the similarities in the questions that
I did not understand, which allowed me to decode particular language or question structures that were difficult.
+
Changing test sites. I had to drive 4 hours to take the first test. The second time, I prepared extensively and the
test was at my undergraduate institution.
+
Practicing less and just relaxing. I didn’t stress out when I got to the actual exam.
+
Putting way less pressure on myself. The second time I took the test I felt much less nervous on test day.
+
Working less in the weeks immediately leading to the test day. I also did at least two logic game problems a day
just to stay sharp on the different kinds of games.
