Below are the results of our survey of thousands of people who took the LSAT on Saturday, September 26, 2009. This survey was released to Kaplan students the night of their exam. We use this feedback to track changes in the exam, test sites, and student preparedness in order to constantly improve our program.

Should you cancel your score?

You have nine calendar days after the test in which to make this important decision. Use them. We don't recommend that you cancel your score based on your perception of the difficulty level of the exam. Every exam is normed and the scoring is adjusted to reflect slight differences between exams.

There are only two valid reasons to cancel your score: 1) test day factors affected your test day experience, or 2) inadequate preparation. Nervousness is not usually a valid reason to cancel your score. Some nervousness is normal, healthy, and can even raise your score.
