Hi all I am trying to gauge my chance of getting LSAT extra time accommodations. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Back story:

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a

kid and was on an IEP from 3rd grade

until HS. I then insisted on not being on

an IEP in Hs it because as a teenager I

was very anxious about the stigma it

came with at my school.

I was prescribed medication for ADHD until

sophomore year in college but never

completed an application for

accomadations during my studies. I

struggled in college with not receiving

accommodations but still pushed

through.

I am 27 now and have been

working in legal advocacy and

alternatives to incarceration for young

people with open court cases for the

past 4/5 years.

I am currently struggling with the LSAT

and can never finish a section

completely on time because it takes me sometimes a few minutes to even process the text. I continue to study but sometimes it feels impossible to be successful.

I want to get accommodations for extra

time but I'm afraid I won't because I

went without them for so long. Wish I

could go back now and tell my younger

self to ask for help but we are here now.

Does anyone have experience with this

stuff? Wondering what my chances are

with receiving an extra time

accommodation? Do you need a new

adult diagnosis? I've remained in

therapy for adhd/anxiety since I was 13.

Perhaps a letter from my current

provider and past ones will be enough

without the history of accommodations?

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks so much!

As the October test is fast approaching, I want to maximize my time and increase my score by a few points. I have a general sense of what questions I'm getting wrong/am unsure of and the reasons why I get confused and choose the wrong AC. My question is how much time do people spend reviewing the PT and going through explanation videos? I'm finding that I try to thoroughly go through JY's explanations but I feel as if I'm losing precious time to drill and make sure my understanding of certain Q types is concrete.

I have an extension on my browser called DarkReader which basically turns every white color to black to minimize eye strain. It basically acts as a universal "dark mode". Would the proctors allow me to use this?

Current PT-ing in the low-170s, and I'm looking for a tutor to help me with LR. I consistently score -0 in LG, -2/3 in RC, and about -3/4 in LR. My goal is to perfect LR and get it down to -0/-1 in order to get into the mid to high-170s range.

I honestly don't need much help with general conceptual stuff, but I do have a few very specific weaknesses I'd like to work on. It would really help to see how a high LR-scorer approaches certain question types and hopefully I'll pick up some useful techniques/strategies along the way. (I do ask a lot of nitty-gritty and detailed questions though, so please don't get annoyed 🙃) Please pm me or leave a comment if you'd be interested!

Hi everyone! I would really love some advice right now

I just graduated university in May with my B.A. I started studying for the LSAT late 2019, and around early 2021 I begun studying very sporadically as my Thesis was taking up a lot of time. Eventually, that same summer, I stopped studying altogether as classes and thesis work pretty much consumed all my time. I did a full honors program in undergrad, so as you can assume, I had very little free time to study for LSAT, and this became especially true mid 2021. Because I knew I wanted to take a gap year, I decided to stop studying for the LSAT altogether starting my senior year of college. Thesis was taking up even more of my time and my family opened a business that I helped out with 3 times a week, so I decided to wait until I could fully dedicate myself to studying for the LSAT to recommit.

Fast forward to now, I am out of school, and working part time in order to commit as much time as possible to LSAT studying. My gap year goals are to save some money, get an internship, and, most importantly, study for the LSAT.

I am currently applying to masters programs and want to apply to law school Fall of 2023 (Hoping to pursue a dual program!). This means I need to take the LSAT no later than next summer.

Now for the question: should I start the 7sage course from scratch? I feel like I have a general understanding of the test, and of the basics of each section. It's the habits that I know I need to build up again. I decided to purchase another LSAT trainer book because I felt very confident after finishing it a few years ago and figured I should re-read (and utilize those drills). As for 7sage, I never stopped paying my subscription because I was worried I might lose my progress, but now I am unsure on whether I should go over the 40% of the curriculum I completed or just pick up where I left off. I took quite the break from LSAT studying so I guess I am questioning just how prepared I am.

As for practice tests, I didn't take too many, because I wanted to wait until I could fully commit to LSAT studying to use up all the practice tests I have available. I definitely did a LOT of drills my first year of studying to compensate for not taking practice tests, but I had a lingering feeling my senior year would make it difficult for me to study for the LSAT which is why I left the amount of practice tests I took to a minimum.

I decided to shoot for the April or June 2023 LSAT, but no later. I feel somewhat confident knowing I thoroughly studied for this test before, but just need some guidance on how to get back in the groove of all of this. All the J.D. programs I am interested in are at schools that are VERY difficult to get into, so I am hoping to aim for the 170s range. As difficult as it is to score in that range, I'm hoping my previous LSAT knowledge and ample study time will work in my favor. Would really appreciate some advice as I work on my study schedule!

Thank you :)

I feel like I'm stagnating and not improving at all. I have such a high goal but sometimes I feel like I'll never get there. Just need some advice and encouragement :(

Hi everyone!

On Wednesday, September 21st, at 9:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a webinar about "Pre-phrasing your Way to Success on Logical Reasoning."

If you're someone that sometimes feels disoriented by answer choices or are running out of time on LR, this webinar will hone an important skill for improving both speed and accuracy.

For this webinar, we'll be going over the importance of pre-phrasing, which question types benefit from a pre-phrase vs. which ones don't, how to do it, the degrees of concreteness a pre-phrase could have, and the level of flexibility they should all have.

→ Please register for the webinar here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D5nZuClqSDSO-CwOER_uMQ

⚠️ After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

⚠️ You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

I have reviewed the lessons and have practiced these questions and just can't seem to get them. Does anyone have a hack or tips they recommend?

My professor asked me to write a first draft of a letter recommendation so that he could work off of what I write. I met this professor at community college but he also teaches at another university. Should I explicitly state in the letterhead that he is a professor at a university and community college or only the community college at which he taught me? Or should I just leave it blank and let him decide?

Hi, can I have a small lamp on my desk during the test?

I've seen some posts about this from 2 years ago but want to confirm it's still okay. Thanks!

I started 145 and my goal was 155. I'm now PT'ing in the low 160's with skipping a full logic game due to time. I can do them, but I've not yet truly practiced LG yet. I wrote a little reflection on my progress and some kind of SWOT analysis and am curious if I am just absolutely crazy or not. This whole thing is crazy honestly. 150 was unattainable and was a struggle. Then I quit PT's and just worked fundamentals for two months and boom. I skipped the 150's and am now scoring in the low 160's.

If anyone who has experience with going through the 160's and into "that next level" is bored, I'd greatly appreciate your opinion. I just don't want to post it publicly. Thank you.

I went from scoring 166-167 to a 159 after two weeks of not studying because of school starting and getting COVID :( I'm taking in October and looking for a 170+ and things were looking good beforehand but now I'm feeling pretty discouraged. Any tips for ppl who have regressed like this?

Hi everyone! I heard that the PT in the 80s are a struggle. Wanted to know any tips y'all may have when going from the 70s to the 80s? Thanks!

Hello, I just finished taking the September exam. However when I was I taking the exam, I had really bad noise disruptions. Would I be eligible to file a complaint? Or could you advice me on what to do?

Hello everyone, I was hoping someone could explain what could’ve caused a sudden score increase. For reference, I typically score in the low 150s sometimes as low as 148/149. My last 3 PT scores were:

PT76: 152 / BR: 160

PT64 (Modern): 148 / BR: 154

PT75: 149 / BR: 158

Then:

PT58 (Modern): 158 / BR 164

I just started going through the CC after completely ignoring it for months (my previous routine was strictly drills and PTs). So, while I am happy with this increase, I was curious; is PT58 exceptionally easy? Or should I feel like I earned that score? Is it possible that the “modern” setting inflated my score? Just a bit confused as to how I could’ve achieved such a big jump. Hoping for some clarification. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have been studying for the LSAT for about 4 weeks now. I study 6 days a week, about 6-8 hours a day, and I feel like I'm not making any progress. I take untimed drills because I just do not feel ready enough to answer 5 questions under 5 minutes, but I continuously get a 3/5 or 4/5 on a good day which usually takes me about 10-12 minutes to complete today, I received my first 0/5 on a drill, and I'm just feeling super discouraged that after 4 weeks of studying I feel like I see no difference in my performance and I'm almost starting to feel a little dumb, and I'm starting to question my career choices please share your experience with me and how you overcame this feeling. Also, is performing under timed conditions something that will eventually come to me over time, or should I worry about the fact that after 4 weeks, I still struggle with time so much?

Thank you in advance!

Any general advice on going from 165-168 to 170?

Seems like this is a common plateau for students.

Which section on Preptest 40 was experimental? And in general, for past Preptests, how can we find out which section was experimental and which one wasn't?

I'm really struggling, and I have been all summer, with following a daily study routine. As many of you can relate to, I have classes Mon-Fri, and I also work part-time. When I have an overwhelming week, the first task I scale back is LSAT Prep, but I know this is hurting my performance because it results in an inconsistent cycle of insufficient study time.

What does your daily study schedule look like, and how did you manage to make it a habit? Any feedback is appreciated.

Okay. Last week I had a major mental break down and I had to stop writing Prep Test 39... you probably remember me.... bahaha I post A LOT.

So here I go. I'm writing prep test 40.

I can do this!!!!! I won't get down on myself!!!!

:) Good luck to all you 7Sagers today with your prepping!! Positive vibes <3

I know the option for "incorrect when last taken" is available in the auto drilling mode, but please add it in the custom drilling mode as well. It would be great to choose a specific set of question types, from a specific range of tests, then drill ones I got wrong. Currently, there is no way to accomplish this task efficiently with either the main drilling choices or custom choices.

Quality over quantity!

Any tips on bridging the gap is appreciated. Also, fully expecting my next test to be whatever it may be and not necessarily go up -_-

My PT has gone from 156 to 161 to 168 and finally today I hit 171, I'm putting all my time and effort into studying for the October LSAT and hard work is paying off. Absolutely thrilled and this only serves as extra motivation to keep working hard.
