Should I cancel my LSAT score?

[SirBurly]

The first time I ever took the LSAT, I scored a 150. Studying for a month or two would help bring my score to around an average of 151-152, at least on the second test. Unfortunately, I just got my score of 145. Should I cancel this score or keep them both?

Thanks!

I'm generally of the opinion that there's little advantage to canceling a score, but in this case there's also little harm in doing so. If it makes you feel better and reduces your feelings of stress around your application process, go ahead and cancel that lower score.

And if you think another 6 weeks of preparation and practice could help you to improve over that 150, go for it! Multiple retakes are the norm these days, and any gains will be worth it.
