Are you happy with your February LSAT score? If not, what are your plans moving forward? If you are, what did you do to prep for the test?

Are you happy with your February LSAT score?

I've heard from a few of my students--they all seem to be happy with their score. They all used a variety of ways to study; books seem to predominate, but there were quite a few who took 2-month prep classes.

I've heard from a number of the students I worked with leading up to the test.  They are happy with the scores they achieved and scored in the middle to higher end of the range they were hitting on final practice tests.   Woot!

Happy is relative. I got a 164 and am happy it wasn't worse, but would still like to and think I can do better. So, I'm debating plunging back into the breach.

+1 on the avatar. I like it!

Re the LSAT, I'm happy I cancelled. I didn't feel good about it and I think I would be very unhappy with the results had I kept them.

It's better to not have a bad score on your record and be able to live to fight another day to really nail it with a later higher score, so try not to stress about it. 

Even though many LS's say than when considering applications they now take your highest score rather than the average of multiple reported scores and rate you by it differently than they did before due to the semi-recent ABA reporting change policy, admission committees still get to see all the records of the administrations you have sat for including your average LSAC reported score when reviewing applications. 

It was a data reporting policy change of LS's for ranking purposes.

Yes.  It has made some changes regarding admission committees decision making process. 

The bottom is still, as it always has been, how well are you able to perform on an administered LSAT?
