I was stuck in the 140s for sooooo long, I felt the same exact way. I took a step back & a couple of weeks off then totally re-evaluated my studying strategies. I found myself pointlessly sitting there flipping through notes for hours per day, it was ineffective. Then I started listening to powerscore podcasts (the loophole also has a great podcast), this helped me so much. RC was brutal for me, I started watching the 7sage videos going through the reading passages and doing at least one RC section per day, even if it was just reading the passage. Also, somebody in the forum suggested skipping the main point question and saving it until last, this helps!! Lastly, while I was taking timed RC passages, I would only aim to properly finish 3 passages (with the most questions), then if I had time at the end I'd finish the 4th. After I got more confident, I was finishing the 4th passage. My RC went from -16 to -6. Just keep doing RC passages AND reviewing them, it's so draining but so worth it.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!! Such an amazing accomplishment, you should be very proud of yourself!

On the November writing, I forgot to show my paper and rip it up after, I also did an awful job at scanning the room. I was such a mess lol. I was approved within the week. No problems! You’re totally fine. Don’t panic.

@dimakyure869 @harrietpalmer778 thank you both! Very helpful. I'll be sure to check out the 7sage lesson!

I got 50% extra time accommodations for Nov-Flex, it took a little over two weeks to hear back. I have a neurological disorder, ADD, and got 50% extra time in college. That's the documentation I submitted for LSAT accommodations. I would practice study as if you've been approved since I don't see any reason why you'd be denied. Make sure you're checking your LSAC account (LSAT tab) because the accommodation approval/denial letter gets posted on there along with an email and keep calling them.

I have ADHD and have been on medication since high school, everyone's situation is different but personally I couldn't study without it. One thing I noticed when I first started to study was that I'd sit there "studying" but in reality I was jumping from one topic to another and studying without any purpose. Block out a time you're going to study and write down a schedule of what time you're going to study certain material so you avoid sitting there staring at nothing. Organization makes a difference. I also put study notes on my walls/in places I frequently look so I have a quick read before bed or while getting ready. Do NOT give up, you've got this. Believe in yourself, it may take you (like myself) longer to accomplish the score you want but who cares!! Keep swimming!

@tallentrandall119 Thank you soooo much, that was extremely helpful. I will give them a call!!! :)

@chelseapichor156 I didn't know about that prior to the test and my phone was outside the room but my proctor wanted me to go get it. Once I showed her the laptop through my phone camera I put my phone in airplane mode and just threw it on the couch.

@chelseapichor156 No, don't panic lol. Just have your phone next to you so you can put it in selfie mode and show the proctor your laptop.

I took my test today and trust me I suffer the WORST test anxiety so this was like huge for me. Last night I took a bath and listened to the powerscore podcast "16 reasons why people fail on the LSAT" the title sounds awful but they talk about how to avoid the common mistakes and how students panic but shouldn't. I didn't listen to the full thing but skipped through and some stuff was helpful. Get your 5 pieces of paper ready and organize your desk space the night before, you don't want to be running around rushing on test day. I also shut off my computer by 9pm and took melatonin because I knew I wouldn't sleep otherwise. Do NOT spend your night reading through horror stories on these forums and reddit posts because you will gain absolutely nothing and it will through you off. I stuck to my normal morning routine and sat at my desk an hour early to do some drilling to warm up. I kept reminding myself that being nervous will not help me. Gave myself a pep talk. Self confidence is super important, remember how much work you've put in, you deserve to do well. Avoid thinking about what will happen if you don't get a certain score or do well tomorrow... This was my first LSAT so I told myself this is just a practice LSAT, what's the worst that can happen? You retake in January, so what? That's what I told myself. The system went down for me today for technical issues, usually I would have freaked out but I mentally prepared myself for that. Everything was totally fine, I lost no time, proctor was amazing and I was back to work within 5 minutes (the break was kind of nice). Lastly, I thought of one positive thing about any of the 3 sections coming first on the test so I didn't start the test and freak out when I saw my worst section first. Just remember that getting yourself all worked up and nervous will not help you!! You've put in the work and I promise you everything will run smoothly. Breathe. Best of luck !!!!! Positive thoughts only!!

@elenalevan880 haha this made me laugh, I had a hard time lining up my face with the camera also, I hope they delete that brutal photo. I was also shaking so much from nerves that I had an even harder time trying to line up my ID! lol

Do we need to print our admissions ticket for the flex or do we just need a drivers license?

From what I've observed, people tend to do much better when they are in the right mindset and free of nerves. I think cancelling a score is just a waste of money and pointless, however that's just my personal opinion based on my own situation. I've been reading a significant amount of reddit posts today regarding the distraction of Biden being called during the exam. If I was in your situation, I'd probably file a test complaint because it can't harm you, only help you if it works out. I hope it all works in your favor and I'm sure you did amazing!! :)

If it makes you feel any better I am in this exact situation. My exam is the 10th and while I've been averaging around 154, these past few days I've been doing awful on timed sections. I've been studying like crazy also. Even though it's hard to take a step back when the exam is so close, I've decided to at least take today and Friday easy (only studying 2-3 hours a day). I've found that watching some worked example videos on Khan and LSAT center is a lot less draining when you feel overworked. Good luck next week, remember you're only human and can only do so much. Go take a nap lol!

So I've never taken the LSAT before but did some research. You can sign up for a ProctorU account by putting the institution as the acer LSAC, that doesn't give you an error. I then had to fill out my info etc and my account already had the Nov FLEX on it. I just scheduled my test. There was plenty of days/times available

Thanks so much guys!!

I recently got my accommodations approved for Nov LSAT but I didn't miss the deadline. Only a few days after I emailed them with all the documentation, my LSAT status page had a "accommodated testing status" box which just said my accommodations were under review and the status will be updated within 14 days. Check to see if you have this. I also know they do have an appeal process so maybe you could have your doctor write a letter explaining you had difficulty getting an appointment? Good luck!!!
