It is not horrible advice. With ADHD you have an uphill battle with being a good lawyer. The carelessness of an average individual with ADHD will make them horrible lawyers as they will be very careless with reading complicated sentences. I struggled with this first hand but I overcame it and it certainly isn't easy at all. Slowing down improved my accuracy dramatically. I am saying if your initial diagnostic is 127 and after months of presumably intense studying and getting 150, law might not be the best career choice for this person. Do you honestly want to struggle with working as a lawyer and constantly making careless mistakes from poor reading? It is a huge risk for him/her because he/she might read incorrectly in a real case and cause real damage.
My psychiatrist constantly tells me that ADHD cannot be cured by medications alone. If you are already taking medications, you should focus on improving your habits. Mindfulness meditation has been shown to increase focus and concentration for every one. I used to practice it daily when I had other issues. You need to eliminate distractions in your room for one. However, if after 7 months of studying and you are still getting 150, you might want to reconsider your career choice.

u overcame ADHD, lol? That's sounds like whole lotta b.s
Yes not only did I overcame ADHD, I also overcame schizohprenia. I was only being honest with my assessment of this individual. A 150 is not a very good score at all, it is 44 percentile. But whatever, it's your choice.
