Made a dumb mistake and now I'm in a dilemma..HELP!

<p>So I took the Dec LSATs and I am very confident about sections 1-4. I get to section 5, a reading comprehension and I know is not an experimental section because it was the only one, and I realized that somewhere along the lines...I skipped a question and the numbers and answers didn't correspond! I tried to fix the problem but time was called and there wasn't much I can do. I stupidly moved down some answers but didn't have the time to see where I started to mess up...</p>

<p>Should I just hope that I didn't mess up too much or should I cancel the score? </p>

<p>Things to keep in mind..
1.)canceling the score would mean that my chances for applying this coming fall is completely out of the question.
2.) I was scoring 168-171 in the practice tests
3.) I feel like I performed really strongly in the sections 1-4
4.) I already have one absent from the oct LSATs.</p>

<p>Cancel…</p>

3

<p>I vote to cancel it.</p>

<p>Could I get a reasoning as to why I should cancel the score instead of seeing how I did? I don’t mean to be bothersome but I was thinking that since a lot of law schools look at the highest score, a possible low score wouldn’t be that bad…</p>

<p>Most top schools don’t have an official policy of taking the highest score; and though most of them will, a low score+a high second score is objectively worse than a cancel+a high score. Since you know that you misbubbled, and since the misbubbling will probably give you a low score, it’s best to cancel. There’s nothing the bad score will add to your application, and there’s a strong possibility the score will detract from it.</p>
