Hey! Shoot me a PM if you'd like to chat about your studying. I have a pretty major learning disability and i've learned from the best pertaining to the ways in which it can be overcome in academic work! I was also diagnosed with mild dyslexia a few years ago. However, that particular psychologist is known for over diagnosing :) Still, I could offer you my 2 cents:)

Incredible improvement from your diagnostic my friend. Excellent work and an excellent score!

I think this would depend a lot on the person. For instance, I have a buddy who took the LSAT only to score a 158 (he was aiming for a 167+). He then studied for about 6 months and ended up scoring a 169 on his next sitting. However, I also know of people who improve 1-2 points between sittings. If you really think you did much better, I bet you did :) Don't let any numbers like "people only improve 1-2 points" scare you are discourage you.

Are there still diagraming methods for the new games that suffice to systematically find answers without having to be...wishy washy about it?

@ thanks a lot!! I also have ADHD so if you'd like some advice shoot me a message:)

Thanks very much everyone I really appreciate the kind words:) From what I've lately read about 7sage I have no doubt I will be using it when I get serious about my studying!!! However, while it is really early considering I'm 19, is there anything I should be doing now to help prepare myself or is that unnecessary?

Thank you for the kind words @ !! Feeling slightly less frightful than the guy in your picture now ;)

You're in luck, the MP40 is my favourite gun from COD so i'll give you an answer here.

Kidding <3. Seems like you'll end up doing great MP40. You're clearly passionate about it and I think that is very important when one undertakes a challenge like the LSAT. Personally, I have not yet written the real thing under test conditions, but from what I read on this forum, I think you'll certainly be able to improve significant amounts in the comings months.

Also, you used the foreign language metaphor. I know it was not intended to be 100% serious, but perhaps it isn't so far off? If you have never been to Italy, how in the world would you be able to speak fluent Italian? Well, you straight up couldn't. But, you'd learn!! Maybe you wouldn't learn as fast as other people, or maybe you would learn much faster. Who knows, but I think the language of the LSAT will be just like this :)

Thatta boy Wilderness!! Now go out there and crush the Soviets today!!:D

Hey there wilderness!

Sorry to hear about what you're going through. First things first, remember, this is what you're going through, this is not permanent. It's important that feel what you're feeling and that you let yourself hurt, but I promise you, you will get past this my friend. There's a reason Shakespeare's work is still so damn relevant (other than its brilliance), because heart-ache is something that almost everyone experiences at some point:)

Now, about the LSAT. Telling you to just block it out and write the thing isn't great advice because... well... that's not an easy thing to do. However, if I was you, I would do everything I could to realize that someday, when I looked back on this test in the future, I would either think something along the lines of "holy balls I can't believe I let that ruin my day and my test" or "Thank God I didn't let that completely ruin my day and my test."

The LSAT doesn't know what you're going through, it doesn't know who's writing it, and it doesn't particularly care (that seems to be the beauty). But, you know the LSAT. You know that dang thing well enough that you decided it was a good idea to spend tomorrow telling it just how well you know it. You have to use this to your advantage. You haven't spent the last X number of months studying for this thing so that on test day it could somehow remind you of who you are and what you're going through. Instead, you've been studying to show that test every single thing you know about it.

It's not gonna be easy. It never is. But tomorrow is about the LSAT. Tomorrow is about winning. Walk in that testing room tomorrow and prove to LSAC, to every school you apply to, and to yourself that you can't be stomped on so much that it's going to mess up the most important thing in your world right now (well one of them I assume). You've got this.

Remember, you know the LSAT a lot better than it knows you.

I am only 19, but for those of you who wished me good luck, I will bury it in a treasure chest and dig it up in a couple years when I need it lol!
