Should I cancel my LSAT Score?

The LSAT is a standardized test that is made for law students. It consists of 4 sections and is entirely multiple-choice. The score can determine a student's readiness for law school.

Many law students spend countless hours preparing for this test. The LSAT has gotten a reputation for being one of the most challenging entry exams, right alongside the MCAT.

So the real question is, should you cancel your LSAT score?

Here are a few points to take into consideration. 

  1. You cannot get your money back if you cancel.

    If you do not want to take it or are unprepared, consider the non-refundable $215 test fee. 

  2. It is easier to cancel after you take the test, rather than pre-cancel. 

    It is more reasonable to explain the cancellation after the test.

  3. There is a limit.

    There is a limit to the amount of times you can cancel. Canceling too many times can cause problems. 

  4. Canceling could be a good thing if you are unprepared.

    This test is essential and can determine a lot for you. If something is on your mind that day or you aren't ready, then it is probably best to cancel. 

  5. Taking it and canceling after can give you a good feel for the test. 

Taking the test unprepared and then canceling it after can be beneficial. The next time you take the test, you can feel more confident and know what is expected from the test.

All in all, it can be stressful to decide if you want to cancel or not, whether that be before or after the test. Trust your gut on what will be best for you. If you are not ready for the test, consider canceling.
