I have ADHD so I totally get this with the reading. What I've been doing is taking physical notes while reading in order to FORCE the activity to be an active exercise. I also helps cause then I have notes to refer back to when I inevitably forget something that is asked in the question and I don't want to have to re-read an entire paragraph.

Took a few tries, but I finally figured out what the argument is about. The first sentence is not really helpful for the argument so I'm gonna skip translating it to easier English.

B: -General question about how the keyboard was designed using efficiency and thus speed as a basis-

C: To ask that question, you have to understand that the keyboard wasn't designed to be used fast. When we used it fast, it broke stuff. So, we made the keyboard to be slow.

B: What?! We don't have those problems anymore though, and the keyboards are still the same today. So why hasn't the keyboard changed by now?

@AlexC235 Ah y'know you are 100% correct. Sorry, I think that my brain has turned into mush lately.

@AlexC235 It says "PT 126!!!" when I think you meant "PT 162!!!"

Small typo in your title there friend.

I rewrite the questions because it helps me to understand the stimulus at a much slower pace (forces my brain to slow down and comprehend it better). I also rewrite the questions so it's more obvious to me where the tiny details are that I missed or misinterpreted.

I'm in the same boat so dw. What I've found helps is to try and get the questions CORRECT first and then speed will come later. Remember, the LSAT is less knowledge focused and more skill focused. It's kind of like a jigsaw puzzle. If you do enough of them in a row, then eventually you develop tactics naturally that make you solve them faster and faster. I work mostly on untimed for right now and I will start adding in more timed stuff as I improve.

You could try what I call "slow mode" drills:

Pick an area you need to work on and do a set untimed. As you go through things, write down in a journal in pen or pencil why you think each answer is right/wrong. Not just "A is wrong cause it seems incorrect," but more like "A is wrong because it is talking about the fruitcakes flavor while the author is arguing about the baking methods to make said fruitcakes."

Make available does NOT mean they HAVE TO. So if they're already efficient they can just skip itttttt. This is one of those where I'm writing in my journal and just feel sooooo dumb sometimes.

Honestly I got it wrong I think because I forgot that UFO doesn't necessarily mean it's something with an extraterrestrial origin. I hear UFO and instantly think "alien spaceship" which screwed me XD

If you ultimately want to practice law in California, the advice I've seen so far is to apply to schools in the region you wanna work in. In which case, aim for California schools. Look for the schools that fit your stats and aim above even cause why not. I also went to UCD (different major) so I 100% feel you with the neuro gpa. UC Davis neuro students have it ROUGH.

That is 100% me, except I logically realize that my brain has likely just hit it's limit for the day and needs a rest. Emotional brain = sad angry meltdown, logical brain = nap time.

The "Above the Law" section is not loading for me :(

@JacobBaska Do you consider there to be any disadvantage to getting strong letters just from professors from when you were in college if you've been out for a year or so? I work an international job abroad currently and most of my coworkers don't speak enough english that I am confident I could get a letter from anyone.

So yeah B confused me really bad too at first until I rephrased the answer in my own words:

B.) Assuming Ted's car was damaged in excess of $500 dollars, then this must mean that he is for whatever reason incapable of reporting the accident.
