Hi
I heard if we try to keep our PT in the longer version (4section, Normal lsat) it's easier for us to do LSAT flex and our brain doesn't get tired fast on the test day since it's used to longer test.
Good luck.

An LSAC rep talking at a school's webinar hinted that they will be (at least the first few). She also said that LSAC will make an announcement in the next few weeks.
Oh, thank God.
Hi everyone
I have already registered for FebLSAT but Im 5 point away from the grade that I want, and I cant improve by 5 point in less than a month. I was thinking if I don't take LSAT in Feb and take it for the first time in April, Is it going to stay FLEX after April or not? Do you guys have any thoughts about this ?
They always consider your highest score, if i were you I would try to do something that relaxes me like meditation or have some chamomile tea( mediation works perfectly for me) and I would try to retake it, Im sure you will rock the second one, you already studied so much, try to make the most out of it. Also, i know that they are some anti-anxiety pills that you can get from doctor.
Good luck.

Hi!
I also have ADHD and a few other exacerbating conditions, making it really hard to take exams like the LSAT. The good news is that you can definitely develop techniques that help mitigate the symptoms. More than anything, you have to find techniques that work for you, because not all of the recommended techniques will have a positive effect. I personally use an app called focus to hold myself to 25-minute study sessions at a time. I use friends and study buddies to hold myself accountable when I say I'm going to complete a task. I also develop small study tools to use at least once a day, even if it's just 10 minutes of studying (for example, flashcards with question stems). Depending on the situation, I will also create rewards systems for myself to help battle the executive disfunction side of my ADHD.
I highly suggest you seek out experts in the ADHD field. Dr. Ned Hallowell has a lot of positive information that I personally found very useful.
Though I think Imperius is wrong, you do not need to reconsider your career choice; I would be aware of the workload and difficulty of law school. The study tools you develop now will be necessary for success, given that most classes in law school will base your grade on one, maybe two exams.
Thanks for mentioning Dr. Hallowell, I will look into him.

My best advice would be to ask for 100% accommodations. My friend has ADHD and got 50% so now she has plenty of time. I also have ADHD, but have no doctor so I FEEEL your struggle. Try not to stress, just study and listen to all of the explanations. I started meditating to help my mind not be so fuzzy and distracted.
When I get distracted, I just close my eyes and breathe for 10 seconds and remember why I'm taking this test and that nothing else matters other than comprehending what I am reading and using the skills I've built to answer the questions. Your improvement is amazing!! Don't let anything hold you back, just keep working hard.
I have applied for 50% accommodation, they don't let 100% for ADHD. But thanks for the positive energy. Good luck to you too.

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!
Thank you for the advice.
Hi everyone
It's been 7 months since I started studying for LSAT, my first PT i got 127 and the best one so far I got 150. I've been diagnosed with ADHD, and studying for this test with ADHD makes it 100X harder than it normally is. I get distracted so many times while reading the question, especially RC. It's been around 1.5 month that I have not improved at all, and I have lost my confidence. Has anyone struggling with similar problem (ADHD) has any advice for me?
I think 7 sage is not always as accurate as lawhub. for May 2020 lsat test, according lawhub i got 150 but 7sage showed 152. ;/
Hey ya'll
Im planing to take Feb LSAT, the first time I took LSAT I got 127 in June 2020, and now my highest PT LSAT score is150. It been a while that even though I study a lot with BR Im not improving, My GPA 3.80 ( from UCI) is more than the 75 percentile for the school that I love to attend (chapman law) but my LSAT is bellow 25(154) percentile. I was wondering what do you think my chances are to get Into chapman at all or get in with scholarship?
YES, I can tell you from my personal experience. I got 127 (July 2020) on my diagnostic test and just like you I had to guess so many of the Q because of the time. Since July I've been studying almost everyday and now Im scoring at 155 considering that Im second language and my diagnostic test is lower than yours Im sure you can get to 150s.
Good Luck.
