Hey, I’m so sorry to hear your situation. Did you hear back after all? I’ve heard of accommodations taking 4 weeks to be approved so fingers crossed!

I am FURIOUS. The deadline was 31 August and I submitted on the 15th. I remember it clear as day, going through the form, uploading my evidence, and it said my request had been received. I chased it because I thought 4 weeks was a long time for them to decide, and they are telling me I never submitted them. I can’t sit without my accommodations and as an international student the next sitting is in January. I feel like they’ve totally scuppered my law school chances and I hate how they’re telling me I didn’t do something I know I did!!! Any advice? :(

Amazing, congrats. Do you have any tips?

Hey, thanks! I find that switching days where one I do a PT and the next I make drill sets for questions I got wrong is working really well at the moment! Also the diagramming for LG is super important, I'd rather spend more time making a foolproof diagram as it saves time in the long run.

Wow congrats !!! This is very motivating. How many hours did you study on a daily basis ? And do you have any specific tips for LR, I’m struggling a lot with LR. I get maybe -7 wrong to sometimes -5.

Hey, thanks! I studied for about 2 hours a day about five days a week. One day I take a practice test, the next I review wrong answers and drill areas I got wrong. Honestly LR is also my worst area. Drilling is the only thing that has helped me. I also have a system where I use underline as like strikethrough for irrelevant or contextual stuff because it helps my eyes just skip over the words. I use yellow highlighter for premises, orange for conclusions. Hope that helps!

158 ---> 172

Just some motivation for those who are starting out - my initial diagnostic was 158, and I just scored 172 in my most recent PT. Here are my scores and dates:

24 Jul 158

26 Jul 161

01 Aug 166

03 Aug 168

08 Aug 169

09 Aug 170

28 Aug 173

05 Sep 169

06 Sep 172

I used

Khan Academy (in July at first)

PowerScore (August)

7Sage (September)

I switched to 7Sage from PowerScore because I found the explanations for the questions I got wrong either missing or incomplete, so I kind of had to just figure it out myself which I think has hindered my progress. Here's proof that you can do it!!!!!
