Oh I just did some digging on the LSAC website and they will open up scheduling 9 days before the first exam (Nov. 7) so we should get that info on the 29th of this month. I found that here: https://www.lsac.org/update-coronavirus-and-lsat/lsat-flex
I'm in the same boat right now so hopefully we'll hear something soon

Hello @
As a person who has been diagnosed with ADHD as well, what worked good for me was setting up my study schedule to fit my needs. I would break the blocks of study time up and I would go for a walk/run/workout in-between my first and second block of studying. Another thing that helped me was, switching topics if I found myself no focused. Plus eliminate all distractions, I found it best to go to the public library so I do not have all the temptations that at home has. I also would make sure my diet was very similar for me that works really good for keeping me on task, along with meditation, and taking time to focus myself. For the RC doing the low resolution summaries helped me immensely. You can do it! it sucks at times but focus on the end goal!
Yes! I do this too. I also have ADHD and I've found that if I split my study sessions up into 1/2 hour blocks, its much easier for me. Sometimes I take longer breaks in between and sometimes I just get up and walk around the house/get water and get back to it. But frequent breaks has helped me clear my mind so much. Another thing that helps me is if I just allow myself to take a short break anytime my brain gets fuzzy or I can no longer concentrate. Also, I find taking hand written notes helps me a lot too. Good luck to you!
Right now I have 13 schools on my list. I live in Chicago and so nearly all of my schools are either in Illinois or the midwest. I'm applying to all of the schools in Chicago and most in Illinois (some of the state schools are safety's) and then a couple out of state. Depending on my November scores and whether I decide to take it again, I may not apply to some of the top schools on my list (namely UChicago and Michigan). Most of the schools on my list are safety or target schools with only 3 reaches.
I just completed the writing section just now and there is a tutorial on the LSAC website. There is also a practice one on the LSAC website, they explain how to get to it in the tutorial videos. It is called "Getting Acquainted" or something like that. There are also various prompts online but I felt well prepared after just the one practice prompt on their website.
I was in a similar spot until a couple of weeks ago. I've now been getting 155 average which isn't what I'm aiming for but there are a couple of schools on my list who would probably take it (I live in Chicago and I'm primarily applying to schools here). You're definitely not wasting your time. Taking the LSAT is like reteaching yourself to think and it works differently for everyone. I have a good friend who is also taking it and we've become study buddies which has helped me a lot. Looking at things through someone else's perspective has helped us both understand things better. If you need someone in your range to talk to, you can always message me.
I just checked mine after seeing this post. My time slot is the same but I did see the Premium Reschedule button, it was directly next to the Reschedule button for me. There are options from 6-6:40 am CST on the 10th for that option.
I'm pretty much in the same spot as you but I've decided to go for it and then just take it again if I have to. I've decided that I'd rather get through any first-real-test jitters when I'm also not at the score I'd like than experience that later.
