id like to give some of you hope who are near quitting or giving up or feel like your not improving. my lsat journey started in 2021, where i didnt take the lsat seriously, barely studied and went through 4 attempts as is. i had no guidance, was at a difficult stage in life and was kinda just hoping id get a good score. my first 4 attempts were ranged from 134,134, 139, & 141. i actually started studying around 2023-2024 and put my heart and soul into the basics. i felt like i was understanding most of it, but not retaining anything at all. i felt stupid and dumb. i noticed the more i started to study, the more i noticed little things that were hindering my ability such as not being able to focus, stimming, reading but not retaining anything at all, similar to symptoms i felt in college, but i pushed it off as nothing. in november of 2024, i took it again and scored a 146. i still applied , got waitlisted at a few schools but ultimately got accepted no where. i was also not allowed to take the lsat again until 2026. and my appeal was rejected! i was ready to delete my lsac account, and end my lsat and law school journey all together. after letting my emotions subside and speaking to a friend who had recently gotten diagnosed with ADHD, i decided to go to the neurologist and explain these symptoms i felt, and indeed i do have ADHD. i decided that since i only have two attempts left in my lifetime to take the lsat, that i try again one last time. ive gotten on adderall since december 2025, and have been studying and taking practice tests since. i almost cried the first time i took a practice exam on adderall. my brain was retaining information. i was able to ACTUALLY FOCUS. my scores on my practice exams have progressed through the mid 150's to hitting a 160 on my practice exam last week. this is something that i never imagined in my wildest dreams to ever see on the screen, given i had barely ever surpassed a 150. i am planning on taking the august lsat. and i know my journey is crazy and long, but this is to give some of you hope, dont give up if your mind and heart wants something. you will indeed achieve it.
