Score Audit

[Desperatenconfused]

Hello,

My PT average was 175, and I’ve gotten a couple 180s- lowest I’d get is around 172-173. My diagnostic was a 167.
My April exam score was a 167.

Now I understand test day scores can be a lot lower than expected due to nerves, but I can’t fathom getting 9+ wrong on the test. I came out of the test thinking it was tough, but worst case scenario would be a 171. However, I do know my test was recycled from 2022, so it can’t be a problem with the test itself.

But, I took the exam with paper/pencil accommodations. Is there a chance that the scantron was graded incorrectly? I’m having a lot of trouble accepting my score, and although I consider $150 to be quite expensive, I can’t help but want to recheck and get it regraded. Is it worth auditing my score?

Worth it. I would want to eliminate the doubt. Schedule retest asap if needed

Hello,

It is true that pencil/paper accommodations are more likely to be graded incorrectly than the typical digital LSAT, but you should be aware that it is unfortunately unlikely that a score audit will turn up anything—most scores that are actually incorrect have a much bigger discrepancy (for example, if your April score was in the 130s or 40s, I would say to definitely get one.)

Ultimately, it's up to you to weigh the possibilities and decide what you are willing to spend on an audit!
