Can a therapist fill out the qualified professional form? I’m trying to get accommodations for ADHD but my psychiatrist is unable to fill it out. would my therapist be able to fill it out?

I use the highlighter tool for both LR and RC, so the new update is very time consuming and honestly distracting and I feel like it ruins my flow / efficiency, especially since I already struggle with timing and concentration due to ADHD.

I typically highlight only keywords to simplify each stimulus by reducing wordiness and exclude irrelevant info, and different colours really help to differentiate arguments vs support statements or conditions, for example.

Now that highlighting every other word takes 3x longer, I dont really have enough time, and it just complicates my ability to solve questions as I'm used to. What should I do to adapt, given that I'm registered for August.

Entertain this hypothetical for me.

You are scheduled to take the LSAT in exactly 3 months. Assume you, at your current practice score and place in your lesson/practice plan, have 90 days to study full time. You aren't made of money, but you have enough to cover your expenses and get access to a reasonable amount of resources (for example, you can't afford to hire a personal tutor to coach you every day but you can subscribe to the 7sage Live program). 90 days to lock in and become an expert in the LSAT.

What would this look like for you? What kind of advice would you give to someone who has this opportunity? How would you structure your study plan? How often would you take a practice test? How would you adapt your study plan as you go to adjust for new problems/progress? Regardless, I'd like to hear what this would look like for you, not me. I want to gain some more perspective.

Me personally? I've taken 4 practice tests before subscribing to 7sage two days ago. My scores in order are 155, 161, 156, 165. My studying for the past few months has been on the back burner. I don't feel the need to complete lessons, but I can be convinced otherwise. I feel like when I read The Loophole and did lessons my score suffered in the short term from 'reinventing the wheel,' so to speak.

My priority is locking my time management down, especially on RC. I'd probably spend 6 hours practicing per day, 3 hours of drilling and 3 hours of untimed practice + review alteration, followed by two hours of wrong answer journaling, blind review, and reviewing and taking notes for certain question types I struggled with that day. Or maybe switch those up, do blind review for the day before and follow it up with practice. I think I'd alternate RC and LR daily, but I don't have a reason it just feels right.

Before you ask I was laid off yesterday. Please don't pity me because I hated that job and I didn't need it.

Noticed I have been getting Author’s Perspective-Implied questions wrong the most . Any tips on how to get better at these RC Qs?

On a PT has anyone routinely done their first LR section then gone backwards (start with the last question) if the next section is LR? My thinking is that you are already in that 'curve breaker' mode so you just maintain it rather than going back to easier questions, then ramping up again. I have a bad habit of not letting go of a question then rushing the clock at the end. So if I were to do this (yes, I should correct the issue of letting go) I would be rushing easier questions with maybe a higher probability of getting them right?

Is there not an option to underline anymore?

Hi! I will be taking the August LSAT in a few weeks. It is the first LSAT I will take. I took my first Practice Test today and received a timed score of 149; however, on my BR I received a 169. Has anyone else had this situation? If so, what tips do you have for bridging this gap?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to send this out into the void in case others are in a similar boat. A consistent issue (?) I've been having is making the occasional, but still annoyingly frequent, silly mistake. Most often, I've identified my mistake is not "zooming out" on an easy question and seeing that the answer is so incredibly obvious, and instead getting lost in the sauce of critical thinking. Also, I'll occasionally identify the wrong conclusion in a stimulus and then realize during review that I was incorrect, but it was just a goof rather than fundamental misunderstanding.

I'm a high scorer and would like to focus my energy on the handful of questions I find actually hard, rather than keep getting disappointed by my silly mistakes/overthinking. Does anyone have any tips or drill recs to help me from overthinking questions and getting them wrong?

Thanks!

hi guys! i took the june lsat and was satisfied with my score, but i literally want 2 points higher, as that can make or break some admissions, and it's just not happening. obviously my blind review can be 4 points higher after a pt, so i have understanding, but i still am stuck.

any insightful tips, whether serious or just a quick life hack that worked, that will help me out? i want to be done! i've only gotten that target score once in april on a pt.

I had a conversation recently with a lawyer that I know, who recommended that I take the lsat in April or June instead of February. He told me that he remembers that being the time of year where they experiment a little with the questions? Can anyone confirm or deny this? Is it the kind of thing where I would be doomed if I took the test in February lol

Hey y'all! Am I justified in feeling a little excited/proud about this score?

For context, I'm active duty military, and I basically just study/watch a video or two/do a couple questions for a few minutes to an hour each evening due to the demands of work. I try to tackle more questions on the weekends but I honestly get a little burnt out. I've been doing this for the last few months, but I plan to ramp up my studying over the next year, as I aim to take the LSAT next June/July. This was my first section since I started the program around last December.

Hi yall - is there a way to create a drill of just your bookmarked LR questions?

Balancing LSAT Study and Application Prep

Hi everyone! I made a post about this a couple of weeks ago, and I can confidently say I haven't been balancing things well. :(

I feel like I'm not making enough progress on either my LSAT prep or my applications.

I've definitely been spending much less time studying for the LSAT than I should, and I'm getting really nervous since my August LSAT is only four weeks away.

At the same time, all I've done for my applications is put together a school list. I still haven't figured out my personal statement outline.

Does anyone have advice on how to balance both? I want to stay disciplined and make solid progress on both my LSAT and my applications, but it honestly feels overwhelming. How are you all managing your time?

This is fascinating to me. Does anybody have an answer/explanation for this? My hunch is that it’s b/c Flaw Qs are closer to Inference Qs, which I love.

Is there any benefit to turning it off? Does it "inflate" your BR score? I start my practice block this week, aiming for 1-2 PTs a week (I work full time and have 4-5 weekly dr/pt appointments so not too much time in a day). I want to maximize my BR benefit. My hesitation with keeping it on is that it points out questions that I did not flag and instead felt confident on, prompting me to review them only because it's recommended. I don't look at why it was flagged because if it says the question was incorrect, I know I can eliminate the answer choice without fully going through the logical reasoning. All this to say, does anyone have any thoughts on this/which was is more beneficial? I took the test in 2023 and scored a 160, but I did not do any BR in my very few PTs I took (only 3 highest being a 166). I'm aiming for 165-170 by September/October. Thanks in advance!

I have been at this now hardcore for a number of months, for the first time in a long time I feel like I am actually making progress growing towards my goal. Rather than testing at 150, I am seeing 155 with my blind reviews into the 60s.

Its humbling to think that time is the greatest teacher and that progress comes to those who are consistent. One day it will all make sense to you and fall in God's plan. Trust the process, embrace the journey, and never give up. While you may not see the tangibles from day to day, month to month however is where the progress shines through.

To everyone, keep up the great work!

From a fellow LSAT taker

I am taking the August LSAT and despite beginning my studying half a year ago I am still stuck in the 150s and fluctuating between 150-156ish. The biggest problem I have is that I cannot sit still and focus for long periods of time. Has anyone else with ADHD found a way to deal with this?

Would greatly appreciate any advice!

i have the worst gpa on the planet lol, and I’m not the greatest standardized test taker. Im shooting for 176-180 because my GPA is that bad. Idk when to take the test but i hope that i can get the right score and get used to this test because whew, im nowhere near my goal right now. Im depending on this.

Has anyone else noticed drastic differences in accuracy between their initial attempts versus their blind review? I just finished an RC section scoring 7 less incorrect answers on my blind review compared to my first take and this is not an anomaly.

I was wondering whether anyone was able to bridge this gap and how they went about doing it.

My BR and timed gap is just discouraging especially since i’ve grinded from a 145 till now

Any tips on how to close this gap? I’m trying to hit 165/ 170 before September

I am planning to take my LSAT in October, but I have been plateauing for months. I took the official LSAT twice so far and had scores in the 140's. I feel like I understand the the content (mostly), and on blind reviews I have been getting 157-160s. I just feel like my actual PT score hasn't gotten any better, and I am feeling the pressure of the days passing by and my actual score not improving. I genuinely don't know what to do, and I feel like nothing is working. I feel like I've been studying wrong or something, and every one else is getting it, but I am not.

help?

Hey y'all. I am planning on taking the August LSAT, so am in the final stretch of my preparation. I am working through the 150s practice tests, and have thus far taken PT 150, PT 151 and PT 156. I got a 165 on PT 150, a 162 on PT 151, and a 170 on PT 156. These were all taken within the last two weeks roughly four days apart. I read that 150-155 are the most accurate to the real exam, and I noticed on PT 156 the second RC section was identical to a section in the July 2020 exam. (I saw on reddit the old RCs were harder so I did the 2020 tests lol). Will that be the case for PT157-159?

Basically my question is how do I gauge readiness and last minute prep at this point? My goal is basically 170. I would be very happy with higher but I primarily don't want to get lower than that. I posted around a month ago when I was stuck at 165 and got advice on making an error log which I have found very helpful. Right now I am essentially redoing all the PTs plus the newest tests I have not done before. In addition, I am doing drill sets of just the Level 4 and Level 5 questions. My concern at this point is not ability but consistency. I find myself getting stressed in the tests as I get closer and essentially leaving questions I know the answers to on the table. I think I performed on PT 156 today because I got 170s on PT 127 and PT 147 over the last few days so I knew it was doable. Basically, what are suggestions for this last month to prioritize the questions that will be most similar to the real thing?

This was way longer than I intended but I mostly wanted to articulate my thoughts, thanks for reading. :)
