I am 30 years old and currently studying/taking the LSAT and planning to apply for the 2027 school year. I only got diagnosed with ADHD about two years ago. My whole world got turned upside down in the best way once I got a diagnosis. I don't know how I would be able to do the LSAT without extra time accommodations. I would recommend doing practice tests and practice sections with 1.5x time and see if it is more doable. Or just practice everything untimed. You should focus 100% of your energy on accuracy, not timing or trying to cram as many practice questions into one day. Just doing 5 drill questions a day (or however many you can manage before feeling overwhelmed) is better than doing too much and ending your studying feeling like shit.
I don't know your current situation/age/etc., but I recommend not rushing your timeline. Take a break!! Don't be afraid to take an extra year or two to get your diagnosis, figure more about your learning style, refresh your perspective on life, etc. Getting diagnosed allowed me to be a lot more gracious and compassionate towards myself because I realized that my inability to "just lock in" is not a moral failing or character flaw, it's a literal physiological barrier. Take the extra time to take care of your mental and physical health because it will 100% pay off in the long run. You'll be a better student and a better lawyer if you invest the energy to be your best self now rather than later. It is totally worth it. Be kind to yourself. It took me 30 years to learn this lesson, and it's still difficult!
Someone just posted about a twin cities study group yesterday I think! We can start a group chat if you're interested 😁
