i started studying earlier this year. I put in 4 hours a day, 7 days a week consistently in anticipation of the April test. Then my mom died unexpectedly the first week of March. Needless to say, the studying flew out the door. I still took the test last weekend, because I had committed - the change in career was discussed with my family and Mom was my biggest cheerleader. We talked about what all we were going to do when "i get rich". I ran out of time on the test, so those last few questions in each section were just a random choice, so who knows if I passed or not. I've registered for June, and had my doctor fill out my request for accomodations, which were approved- but i'm having theeee hardest time getting back into studying. I just stare off into space during a session. How do I on ramp again? We know life can life, but gahdamn, life t-boned me this year.

Yeah, I recently lost my college roommate, and it's been really hard. My only motivation is to make it for both of us at this point, and I know that he's in a better place.
I recently lost my father and I am deeply sorry for your loss as I can relate to having a hard time studying. We are all here to get each other back on the wagon as hard as it can be. I am super excited to see how far you will go. I have been praying a lot to God to get me through and it has been a major success in my overall well-being. Needless to say, it is not easy studying for the LSAT and I still struggle. I will keep praying for you and never give up! #FUTURELAW!!
Just think abt the movie that’s gonna be make bro. So sorry for your loss, I also am taking the test in June for my first time and have no idea how to get myself going on studying. You got this!
I'm so deeply sorry for your loss.
Grief completely scrambles our brains. It makes us slower, more forgetful, less able to retain information. It makes us perpetually exhausted. If you are set on applying this fall, maybe consider testing in August or September so you have some room to breathe. Take your time, the test will always be there.
I am extremely sorry for your loss!! I don't really have sound advice on how to get back on the consistent studying schedule but you went through such a hard time so go easy on yourself. Take it slow maybe for a few days, slowly ease back into your old habits. Do an hour today, an hour and a half tomorrow, and just gradually increase it. Think of how much this means to you and also your mom. Wishing you the best of luck, hang in there.
