I simulate modern , and to piggyback off what @ said, this has helped me tremendously in terms of reducing mental fatigue. My huge disclaimer is that I have ADHD, and therefore have more time on the test. Though that helps tremendously, that means a four section test is almost 5 hours long. Since I've been simulating modern, I've been able to significantly increase my PT Scores. I find that making sure I can answer the questions and sit through the entire test and then work on stamina will be my best bet. Especially since I'm the type of person who gets adrenaline from stressful situations.

It's really just up to you and your preferences. Maybe try both and then move forward from there!

May I ask if 100% time accommodation is allowed for the ADHD? I've heard that only 50% is allowed though.

Thank you!

I also had the same problem at the beginning of my studies, and I think a lot of students struggle in exactly that manner, no matter whether they have ADD or not.

The root-cause of this problem is that LSAT passages are constructed for precisely this purpose, to make you feel bored and distracted: they contain topics virtually nobody cares about, and contain difficult words and convoluted sentences to make matters worse.

A game-changer for me was drawing mental pictures in my head while reading the passages. Simply because a lot of the words/sentences I read in the passage are words/sentences I rarely encounter in casual reading, and thus my brain fails to associate those with anything, thus failing to retain them.

Another useful practice I discovered is, whenever I am confused about something, to actively realize it and consciously make the decision to either flag the line & move on or try to find the root-cause of confusion, which is typically one of the following:

I misread a word.

I misread the referential phrasing.

I did not link the Information up to information in earlier paragraphs.

I did not know the meaning of a word.

Thanks for sharing!

My 2 cents on whether extended time is unfair or not:

I think it is fair since, as stated above, it would be otherwise discriminating towards people who have been diagnosed with AD(H)D. Provided that time extension is calibrated based on individual intensity of the disorder, I think it‘s fair to say that everybody starts from the same starting point (everything else being equal).

That said, I believe that practice is unfair to international test takers with AD(H)D, since the barrier to get a diagnose in another region outside the US could be higher.

For instance, I got my Master‘s degree from a US university, and because I had been facing issues with staying focused for years, I decided to visit a psychiatrist there. After the first session, she already prescribed me Adderall (and I am sure that it could have been Ritalin had I adjusted the discussion accordingly).

After my studies, I went back to my home country (EU), and visited another therapist there. She shockingly let me know that Adderall was illegal in the EU. After me bringing AD(H)D into the discussion, she told me that in order to make a diagnose she would need all my grades from elementary school, since AD(H)D is in most of the cases apparent from childhood. I told her that I got straight A‘s in elementary school, though throughout my school time needed double the time compared to classmates with similar GPA. She ignored this information...

Obviously, for me it would be impossible to take an AD(H)D-quiz from the internet, go with the results to a doctor, and get it diagnosed, as was suggested a few posts above...

Did you get the LSAT accommodation in the end? I am also an international test taker and all my diagnosis records are not in English...

Do you guys type the stimulus or is there a way we can copy the words and save some time?
