@MichaelWright Heck ya! Thank you! I would love to see more "concepts that SLAP." Truly the most helpful courses I have found! I'll keep an eye out for more of your explanations as well!
The few classes I've been to led by Mikey were some of the most rewarding and productive classes I've taken in my entire LSAT and college career. His advice before my April exam truly changed my mindset and helped me more than I could have ever expected. First of all, thank you, Mikey! Second, I would LOVE to see him teach more classes!
Hey!! ADHD has been my biggest hurdle, but I promise you it's not something that will hold you back. You just need to learn how your brain works.
When I started, I was the same way. I got impatient and rushed. I recommend trying to read a sentence, then stop, rephrase it, and keep going. Forcing yourself to rephrase will help you slow down, but it will also improve your understanding.
Also, read for fun. I have pretty severe ADHD and dyslexia, and reading a fun book outside of LSAT prep completely changed my ability to slow down and read on the test.
As hard as it is, deleting social media like TikTok and avoiding Reels really helped because my brain stopped being so used to constant, fast-paced gratification.
I was also granted stop-start breaks on the exam, and I really recommend applying for those. With ADHD, if you can lock in for a few minutes—whether that's one passage or five questions—then take a short break and let your mind wander, you'll often have much better focus by the end of the section.
When I took the April LSAT the last PT I did about 10 days before the exam, I scored 10 points lower and freaked but after talking to a lot of people I learned its actually really normal. Youre anxious and in your head and want to score high before going in! I took my bad PT as a fluk that got my nerves out so that didnt happen on test day. Dont stress. Review it carefully and take a break from full PT's so on test day youre motivated and ready to rock.
Would having a feature for in-state v.s out of state be helpful? Do schools increase your chances if you want to stay in your area to practice law?
I feel this! Especially with ADHD, this happens a lot. I try to set myself up the best I can at my desk. Having a clean organized area really helps me go into study mode. Then I try to be really dramatic with everything I read. A 7Sage intructor (I believe Bailey) said to read everything like it was hot gossip and drama. Sounds silly, but helps you stay engaged. I also sometimes feel chewing gum, or having a jolly rancher or something helps me stay focued. I also force myself to take breaks. When I feel my eyes getting heavy, I walk around, move a little, and that helps. A lot of natural lighting is helpful too. Small adjustments to your environment can make a big change, but be patient and slow with yourself. It takes time to be focused on an exam like this.
Blue light glasess helped me a lot, and also on breaks seemed silly but blinking very slowy, like 3 seconds per blink and moving my eyes in full slow circles helped me gain some of that focus and eye strength ig you could call it lolz
In the same boat, but we got it! Really focused on shifting my mentality from a life or death situation if I score where I want, to thinking that this is a learning process and an opportunity. We got it!!
They aren't foam, so idk if they will let you, but you should look into loops if they allow non-foam ones. They are worth the extra money! Super comfortable, diffrent types for different things, but the quiet 2s, are the best in my opinon!
@MichaelWright Thank you for this! I really appreciate you putting in the time to make this video. It’s definitely a stressful time but I’m happy I have the 7Sage community for support! Thank you again! I’ll take your advice to heart!
I’m gonna be vulnerable here, I am SO stressed. I’ve noticed it playing a huge role in my scores, my physical and mental wellbeing, and honestly every part of my life. I take breaks, full rest days, I workout consistently, I see friends everyday, and really thought I was balancing my study time with my regular college life. Unfortunately I just don’t think I am mentally detaching from the exam when I’m not studying. Any tips on stress management? About a month out and need to start prioritizing myself to score well.
@APBookninja I'm someone who alwayssss use to write everything out because it helped me remember it better. I found that doing this though, keeps me more organized, and it takes the busy work out so I can intentionally study better. I still handwrite some things. Any big picture ideas I come across, common traps I fall for, PT patterns, I bullet in a physical journal. I have my journal separated for question types and passage types, and will jot down notes I see regularly on my excel to reinforce those ideas, or after clasess. I also think re-reading my Excel, and going back to questions after a few days really helps.
I use excel. I have a drop down to put the question type, a cell with the PT, section, and question number with a direct link to it, a cell for why I got it wrong, and why the right answer is correct, and what I can do better next time. If I 100% understand I highlight it green, yellow for iffy, and red if I have no clue. I go back over my yellow and red over the next weeks till I can turn it green.
Looking back, they were helpful, in the moment they seemed irrelevant. I think having more pratice intergrated in these lessons to show why it is so important would help students understand it better.
Hi, I'm wondering how to PrepTest equivalent score in calculated after drilling? How accurate is it? I notice sometimes it gives me a fairly high score for 100% correct, even with fairly easy questions. Slightly confused on this and wondering if I should disregard the score. Thanks!
This was a huge issue for me with the first 10-12 questions on sections/tests. My tutor told me to think of these are freebies. The first answer you see is prolly the right one since they are the easier questions. If you change your answer, something needs to 100% be wrong with your first answer to change it. This helped with my second guessing.
Hi everyone! I'm noticing my biggest problem on RC are the implied questions. Any additional tips? Thanks!
Hi everyone. For those who have received accommodations on the LSAT, how long did it take to hear back to get them approved? Should I be taking drills/PT as if I know I have those accommodations, or with standard timing just in case? Thanks!
Have you done all the experimental sections? If not, Id find a test with the same number of questions and put those together then put your raw score of each section into the LSAT demon score convertor to make a make shift like test if that makes sense.
