Good evening fellow 7Sagers,
I am someone who suffers from anxiety and depression on a daily basis. For anyone that can relate, how would you go about improving on this exam? I find that although I know exactly what career path I want to be on and what needs to be accomplished in order to do so, I still find trouble being motivated to study, and when I do study I find myself constantly zoning out. I've been studying for several months, including taking a Blueprint course in a classroom setting which ended in September. However, I cannot seem to break low 150's on my PT's. My highest score is a 154 and that was only because I did not time myself and wound up finishing at least an hour over the typical exam time constraints. Otherwise, my average timed scores do not look as pretty. I do not believe 7Sage is the issue as I find the methods of this curriculum far clearer than anything else I've done in the past. I did some research and found that LSAC has accommodated those in the past with diagnosed depression/generalized anxiety, although not everyone's requests are approved. I have not taken medication for this in about three years because I felt it was doing more harm than good. That being said, I do not think LSAC would simply take my word for my issues and at the same time I also would not want to have schools look down upon my grade because they knew I was accommodated. I am currently aiming for the June 2017 LSAT, but if my PT's do not improve by then, I do not want to wait much longer. Perhaps September.. but nothing later than that as I truly want to begin law school by 2018. I know what school I want to go to and have everything planned out. I graduated cum laude and was in the honors academy all four years at my school and even graduated a semester early. It makes no sense to me how all that was accomplished yet I am having so much trouble with this one exam, which drives my motivation even further down.
Long story short, if anyone is out there with advice on something like this, I would really appreciate some personal insight as no one seems to understand.
Thank you
@ Thank you for taking the time to respond to this post. It definitely helps at least somewhat that there are people out there that are understanding. I know I should not be making such hard deadlines for myself but I just don't have the patience to delay my career any longer than graduating from law school as late as 2021 if I were to begin in 2018 which is the path I've tried to set for myself. My first diagnostic was a 140 but aside from times I've not timed myself I cannot seem to break the 140's at all. I feel as though if it weren't for my consistent zoning out and not being able to finish RC passages and long LR questions on time due to that without having to re-read, I'd be doing a lot better. I've also come to the realization that I'm going to have no choice but to skip what seems like the hardest RC passage and logic game because I straight up cannot finish all 4 of them in the amount of time alotted to us.
