@salmaghalyoun559 is a great RC tutor!

Pls DM me your numbers and we can create a group chat and go from there!

i find the 35+ PTs are more logic oriented than the earlier ones.

to answer your question, yes, you can get into a law school -- it just depends on which one you have in mind. If your UGPA is your LSAC GPA then I think it's safe to say that a 2.3 and a 165 LSAT will make it significantly unlikely that you'll get into a top 14. But, it could get you into a regional school or local school you may be interested in. All hope is not lost. Just make sure you know what your employment odds are when you are selecting a school!

Interested!

Similar sort of problem. Allow your brain to slow down, remind yourself that time tends to move slower than you think it is, and remember that you have to be patient with yourself and your brain as it learns this new skill.

Guided Mindfulness meditations help as well. Do a short one every morning or night and it’ll help you improve your focus and stamina.

Also maybe your meds are contributing to this exhaustion? I don’t know much about them, but it might be worth speaking to your doctor to see if there’s something they can recommend.

best tip I can give you is to check out @ericmrevis407 and his tutoring services! I had a similar problem and he really helped me with my RC!

To anyone reading this post who is wondering if they should try @lexxx74569 's tutoring services: I'm here to say DO IT!! Don't waste anymore time. Don't be like me. I work full time and it has been challenging to get past my peak. I study on and off and really struggle to figure out what I'm doing wrong to move forward. I'm not a novice at studying or at the LSAT, but I definitely got to the point where I didn't know what I didn't know -- the perspective of someone who got to where you want to be is a good way to learn more about what you're doing right or wrong and where you should improve. I originally thought I lacked consistency and commitment because of my schedule, but then COVID gave me some downtime to get some studying done and I still couldn't break my score plateau. One two hour session with @lexxx74569 and my score for reading comprehension has already improved.

I myself have tutored before in a variety of different subjects and I've been a Teaching Assistant and taught a section of ~6 college level courses and I have to say that he puts in more time and effort than I ever have into making sure you succeed. He analyzes your score history, preps for your sessions, diagnoses your problems/challenges/where to improve/etc. then goes over it with you asking you what you were thinking and how you did something and fact checks his suspicions as to why he thinks you got it wrong. After that he begins to teach you how to improve.

He doesn't approach tutoring with a "one size fits all" approach, rather he hones in on the details of your strengths and weaknesses and pushes you forward from there. I'm honestly surprised at the rate he charges given the amount of time he invests into the sessions. I went from having a consultation with him, to trying out a 2 hour tutoring session to see how that would go before committing, to booking him for about 10 hours a week. The results I'm seeing are worth it and save me plenty of time and money in the long run.

Disclaimer: I am VERY PICKY and usually have high standards for who I let teach me anything, but I do have to give credit where credit is due, and @lexxx74569 takes the cake.

as long as you send the email before the deadline (tonight) you should be okay.

send them another email and withdraw on proctorU if you can. talk to someone in customer service there (in the chat) and email the chat to yourself so you can forward it to LSAC if you need to.

i missed the webinar. will it be posted somewhere?

hi! would love to join!

I'm interested!

if you do take time off, you need to make sure you set yourself up with a schedule and follow it. i've seen this go wrong too many times. Set goals, keep track of your progress, and have a daily to do list to stay on task!

As someone who has this same problem here is what I have done: prioritize your sleeping, learn to meditate between intense activities (I enjoy the headspace app), eat right (helps with energy levels and focus), stay hydrated and manage your mental health properly. You're going to be stressed out and strung out and if you plan to keep going you need to invest in some self care.

Otherwise --

I try to get up at 5am, shower, make coffee, sit down to study for 3 hours before work. If I have anything timed that I want to work on I only do it in the mornings.

Then, I make a list of things I want to review during my lunch break and for after work. I write all of my explanations down in a journal I carry around with me. Sometimes, I'll sit alone in my room or in an empty conference room and go through my explanations for each question out loud. Afterwards, follow the videos, read some explanations, and modify your reasoning as needed.

I have started buying my meals rather than cooking and cleaning. It saves me around 2 hours a day + lots of energy because I don't have to invest in the labor involved in the process.

I follow this study schedule 3 days during week days. And if I do a full timed PT, I stick to the weekends. On weekends I try to make sure to sleep in, then I give myself 6 hours to do a list of things I assign myself for that day. After that, I tell myself I have to be finished no matter what point I am in my studies. I'll go home, run errands, do laundry, etc.

I usually go out with friends two times a week and give myself two nights a week where I can just binge watch trash tv for balance/to decompress.

Hope this helps.
