<p>It&#8217;s the Monday after an LSAT, so this is the question that&#8217;s filling the LSAT-universe. It&#8217;s not a pleasant discussion, but let&#8217;s get into it. Assuming that you just had a bad test day experience, here are a few considerations you should, well, consider:</p>
<p>1. Was this LSAT considerably different than your usual practice test experience? For example, did you only complete 3 games or RC passages when you usually complete 4? Or did you become violently ill?</p>
<p>2. Were you scoring comfortably within an acceptable score range on your last 2 &#8211; 3 practice tests?</p>
<p>3. What is the policy of the schools that interest you in terms of considering all scores, only your best, etc.</p>
<p>First things first:  if YOU KNOW you bombed the LSAT, then you should cancel (unless all your goal schools are firmly committed to only considering your best score).</p>
<p>Now that we have that out of the way, you should start with #3. Let&#8217;s say that you have 8 schools in mind. If 6 of them will look at <em>all </em>your scores, then that should steer you towards canceling and re-taking. <span id="more-496"></span></p>
<p>If it turns out that most of the schools that interest you consider your top score primarily or only, then you can relax and find out your score.</p>
<p>If, as is more likely, you face a combination of policies &#8211; some law schools considering your best score, some considering all, some giving more weight to your best score though taking a look at the other ones &#8211; then you need to think more about questions #2 and #1.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s continue our reverse order and think about question #2: If you were at the bottom of your goal score range &#8211; in other words, if you were scoring below your goal school&#8217;s median LSAT scores on your last 2-3 practice tests, then a slightly bad test day brings you already further below what you need. So, then we&#8217;re probably facing a cancel, unless your father happened to build the school library or something similar.</p>
<p>If you were actually hitting the top end of the range you needed, then a slightly bad test day should bring you to the median, which is a decent place to be.</p>
<p>Finally, let&#8217;s consider question #1: How bad a bad day was it? If you&#8217;ve had practice tests in which you have experienced a similar screw-up &#8211; such as dropping an entire game &#8211; and you were able to salvage a decent score, then that suggests this event was not an anomaly and you might want to see the score. However, if this &#8211; you swear -was  the first time this has ever happened, then you&#8217;re looking at a cancel-me-now situation.</p>
<p>Go ahead and play around with the <a href="//www.atlaslsat.com/lsat/blog/index.php/2010/09/24/predicts-law-school-admissions/">LSAT/GPA calculator</a> that the LSAC helpfully provides. Take a deep breath, and consider this as rationally as you can.</p>

So, for your flow-charting pleasure here&#8217;s a guide to making this decision&#8230;To be taken with a grain of salt, especially if the schools you care about take your higher LSAT score, no questions asked. If that&#8217;s the situation, the issue is mainly whether you have more attempts available.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good question! Obviously this depends on your situation, but in general, if by this Friday, May 14 &#8211; <strong>your last day to postpone your registration for the June LSAT</strong> &#8211; you are not scoring at least 3-4 points from a score that you&#8217;d be OK having, you probably won&#8217;t like your actual score. There are definite exceptions to this rule, but that&#8217;s a decent rule of thumb. But don&#8217;t pull your hair out over this question, because if you decide NOT to postpone, and then realize &#8211; eek! &#8211; you&#8217;re not feeling the LSAT winds blowing in your favor, you will face a set of options, many of which are perfectly acceptable.  Steve Schwartz <a href="//lsatblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/cancel-postpone-absence-june-2009-lsat.html">wrote a great analysis of these different options</a>,</p>
