Thank you!!! 😭 I so needed to hear that.

Yeah, I just can't let a year go by before applying again. Definitely made me feel much better hearing about applying after January and having good options. I quit my job and moved cross country 2 months ago so I didn't exactly have a ton of time to prep. 🤷‍♀️

I decided to take a few days off to reset and rest.

Good luck on the test! Let me know how you do.

I will repeat what someone already said. TOO MANY ACRONYMS... makes reading and understanding a pain in the ass. Please stop using so many acronyms if we don't have a quick accessible way of knowing what they mean. TY!

@ I started studying for LSAT 6 weeks before exam. Studying 8-10 hours a day. 5-6 days a week. Sometimes 12. Insane, I know. What helped me a ton was doing the 7Sage lessons, taking one pt test a week. Doing lots of drills and then using power score to review. Powerscore explains things bette run my opinion. They break it down better. Like actually in detail explain each thing. I loved that.

The. I just did drill after drill and reviewing what I got wrong. I didn’t make notes because it just doesn’t work for me. Not sure if that works for everyone or not. But I think the biggest thing was just repeating and reviewing in detail why it was right and why the others are wrong. Again, powerscore does a better job at it.

I did get the lsat bibles.

I can tell you about my personal experience with this situation and maybe it will help you decide.

DISCLAIMER: Excuse me if I am not being politically correct when I express myself at times. Hopefully it doesn't come off like rude or judgmental.

I have ADHD and I am medicated. I was on antidepressants that make it super difficult to concentrate/remember things as well. Combo only led to my eating disorder problems. Severe weight loss and such so I stopped the anti and continued to take my ADHD meds only a few times a week. Obviously it's different for everyone. I never took meds during my college years and still managed. However, if you were/are medicated or if you chose to not take medication despite being offered before, it might actually hurt you more than help.

For one, if you are medicated there is a chance a it will hurt you more than help. If you were medicated and YOU decided to stop, that can also hurt you more than help. Once you are on medication you are considered more "stable." Accommodations for LSAT can be denied if you are on medication, I learned this from personal experience.

The good thing is that you can potentially write a killer addendum and personal statement to express the difficulties if any. For example, I had an eating disorder among other things that caused my GPA to go down, however by the end of my schooling I graduated magna cum laude. Shows progression and improvement and discussing how I over came some of the issues and showing what I did to improve. Also why medication was not always best considering the eating disorder etc.

Not saying it will work but just don't make it sound like an excuse because then it opens up the "Well why didn't they go to their doctor to switch meds sooner instead of just deciding to quit?" Maybe do a deep dive on what made you stop instead of switching sooner. More detail on how it affected you in other ways. etc.

Just my thought. Also, take it with a grain of salt. Don't go on reddit. It's full of people who will only cause more paranoia. At the end of the day you are being compared to many other people with similar conditions who again, at the end of the day, have excelled without using it as a crutch.

Absolutely!!!! Not sure how this would work but count me in. Let me know how to proceed y'all!

Loving the lessons. Already seeing major improvements. My only feedback would be to switch up the people speaking in the video. I am starting to get super annoyed by the speaker's voice. 😅😂.

Here is my two cents. I did some research and came to the conclusion that I needed to step away for a few days. I know it is difficult when you are on a schedule but I was eager to keep doing drills and practice questions to get a high score. IT ABSOLUTELY killed my motivation seeing my scoring go down on drills. Took 4 days off and then took the second PT. and managed to score the 171. When just two weeks ago I had scored a 156 on my first practice test. Point is, based on what you wrote, you might simply just be over thinking everything.

If you were good at them a month ago. YOU ARE good at them still. I can't explain the psych behind it but it really does sound like you are simply overthinking and getting in your head. Looking at tons of "tricks" and "loopholes" only made me overthink everything I already knew. Then you start seeing more than 1 correct answer, which then just makes you take longer and then the longer you take the more you overthink and then you end up with additional "right" answers.

Take a break. I am taking the Nov LSAT and feel I got lucky with practice exam. I have been studying about 10 hours a day 5 days a week for the last 7 weeks (don't recommend as I have no social life). Sometimes too much of a good thing will just hurt you. Take a few days. Clearly you got it before, so just let your mind rest if you can. Sorry for the long paragraphs but I can totally relate. Sending you good vibes! 😎

Congrats! I would keep the 166. Aside from GPA and LSAT score, there are other factors that could really boost your application to some schools. Maybe focus on solidifying your personal statement and LOR.

However.. Really depends on where you want to go.

Again, congratulations, I am so excited for you!

I got this correct... However, I went about it differently without charting it out. I read and based on info concluded what MUST BE TRUE. however, I know it's not always possible. What annoys me about some of these explanations is the lack of background info. Like why the speaker is randomly spewing some information as if we could somehow read their brain/thought process. We aren't all top 99 percentile. Over explaining when it is not necessary just causes more confusion. It pisses me off and annoys me truly...

Some context:

Keep in mind. This question is actually a MUST BE TRUE questions.

To be horrific, a monster must be threatening. Whether or not it presents psychological, moral, or social dangers, or triggers enduring infantile fears, if a monster is physically dangerous then it is threatening. In fact, even a physically benign monster is horrific if it inspires revulsion.

A) This gets it backwards. Horrific is always threatening but threatening doesn’t have to be horrific.

B) This is an incorrect negation. There are other ways to be horrific apart from inspiring revulsion.

C) The only way we could conclude that a monster doesn’t inspire horror is if the monster wasn’t threatening. Otherwise we simply don’t know what might cause a monster to be horrific.

D) As with C, the only way we can be sure that a monster isn’t revolting is if it is also not horrific. We know nothing about a monster that is psychologically threatening.

E) CORRECT. Any monster that inspires revulsion is also horrific. And any horrific monster is threatening.

1) Horrific -> threatening

2) NOT threatening -> NOT horrific

3) Dangerous -> threatening

4) NOT threatening -> NOT Dangerous

5) Inspire revulsion -> horrific

6) NOT horrific -> NOT inspire revulsion

This is a Must Be True question, so the correct answer choice will be the one that is confirmed by the statements above.

From 5 above, we know that if a monster inspires revulsion it is horrific, and from 1 we know that if a monster is horrific then it is threatening:

inspire revulsion -> horrific -> threatening

The combined statement above is sufficient to confirm correct answer choice E.

I hope this helps. Please don't let the inadequate teaching make you feel like you are not understanding. Some just SUCK at explaining/teaching to people who are not at their level. It's like having a college professor teach someone in primary school. 🤦‍♀️

Thank you all so much!!! I do have ADHD and I just didn’t have enough time to ask for accommodations. Might do that for the next exam.

I am thinking I’ll wait and see what I get this Nov and then based on that score I’ll decide whether to apply or retake in January.

Currently taking a few days off. I’m Deff stressed and in my own head.
