ALso, I am doing live classes and drill sets, not PTs! The PTs will burn you out right now.

Sounds like you are putting too much pressure on yourself and overkilling it. Here is where the lie is, "I feel like if I don't apply within the next 2 months, I am just not gonna make it." Many people apply in February and March, even the deadline for admissions and make it in just fine. You scored a 171 so you do understand it but probably not relaxing enough to slow down to read the questions.

FOr future reference, you can apply for accommodations through the LSAC to get time extended on the LSAT. I got a 150% time extension due to my ADHD

Call the LSAC and get the clarification on this.

Excellent tips in this lesson. I can see myself doing the split approach to save time once I get Passage A, clearly answer (hopefully) those questions then go on to Passage B.

Most of the time, it's due to missing key words in the stimulus. With my ADHD I often read over certain things or read too fast without really paying attention.

At this point, you are striving too hard for perfection.

I too want to know how to improve on the RC section.. can you share how you were able to improve on LR? struggling a bit with that too

Search kevin lin on YouTube. those LR videos he has, and he has live class recordings on 7Sage in the Live Class library you can check out, are extremely helpful. You will start to get them right.

I am using Kevin Lin videos on YouTube in addition to 7Sage. Game changer

I'm so sorry for what you have been through.I am unemployed due to mental health and God is helping me through. Because of that, I have been able to study since April for the LSATs and taking it in Nov. Have you taken the LSATS already and gotten a lower score? What is your GPA? I am 39 so I will probably write an addendum for a GPA I got almost 20 years ago in college lol. If you have a low LSAT, you still have time to retake in February if you would like. If not, you can write an addendum and say a family member had a life threatening urgency and you had to help take care of them (you don't have to say what if you do not want to) which threw off your studying for the LSAT. Law schools understand emergencies like this happen in life. I relate to what you are going through and please know, taking the LSATS is a HUGE accomplishment you should be proud of. Look at you making it!

I would like to inbox you if you would like and we can encourage each other. Blessings!

P.S. I personally would not mention your own mental health in an addendum. with that said, no trigger warning is needed.

Call Prometric. They can help with scheduling, also keep checking the prometric tool cause some people may cancel the week of in order to retake in January and you might get a slot then.

When I got on to schedule, it was about an hour after scheduling open. For my city, which is small, there was only 1 time slot left for my accommodations (paper and pencil) along with my time extension. I have a sleeping condition where it's hard to take the test at 8am (which was the only slot left. I had booked it in hopes I could reschedule later). I called Prometric (I recommend you doing this right now) and waited 2 hours and they said I had to wait until the 25th to reschedule. They thought I wanted to reschedule to January but no, I just wanted a different date and time if available. So far, it looks like I will need to keep my 8am time slot and my test will be 6 1/2 hours. Might be hard without coffee but I will try I guess.

Thanks so much, I felt dumb after studying for 8 months I scored a 147. I thought I was getting them all down. Starting to restudy and thought to retake in April. My practice is at a 149. I need about a 155 to get into my law school of choice and earn some scholarships I hope but this is encouraging to me

They do it when scheduling opens, usually two weeks before test date

I am doing the same and requesting paper and pencil. The paper and pencil method must be taken in person and I think the in-person testing center may have less distractions rather then taking it at home. The LSAC will give you a letter of approval which you can show the proctor on test day to ensure you get the rightful accommodations you deserve. The LSAC said yes you can and will have these options available to you so the proctor must give that toyou.

I don't have instagram but I am interested. You can inbox me here with further details.

If it helps, usually the written format of the video is underneath the video. Maybe not in earlier lessons but as you progress the written format is underneath.

Yes check out this video, it will make sense for NA:

Doesn't the writing essay have to be completed before we take the LSATs?

Major congrats!!!

You will not know which section is experimental when taking the test

interested

A great source I have used is Kevin Lin on YouTube- He has great videos for your weakest areas. Immediate game changer and yes I think that will help greatly to get your score that high by November, just watch the videos.

You would have to call the LSAC for this one, I believe they have certain things as to what is or is not permitted during testing on their website

This video will help you tremendously

3.3 excellent, 166 excellent.
